The club sponsored two dances, a Thanksgiving canned- food drive, and a Christmas party for the handicapped children of the Martin Luther Homes. They also held the traditional General Grant raffle, teacher kidnap and end-of-the-year picnic. One of the most important responsibilities of NHS was tutoring for both high school.

One of the most important clubs to the school was Student Council, a group of students who were dedi- cated to helping promote school spirit in showing leadership and getting the entire student body involved in the school. As defined by Student Council member Mike Sawyer, lt is the middleman between the stu- dents and the administration. Most people thought Student Council was a fun out-of-class activ- ity. ln actuality, it was a class that met seventh hour each day as well as spending many hours outside of school to work. The members formed committees which organized assem- blies and dances, both formal and informal: discussed fund-raisers, such as that for the new Kadet Bird cos- tume: made posters to promote sports and upcoming events: and thought of new ways to raise school spirit. ln addition to working on their own, some of the members attended retreats and workshops. Student Council took much hard work and dedication. lt was also a lot of fun and there were rewards: as Lisa Elges said, You get the re- sponse of the students and you learn more about them.
