The Amherite The student newspaper of Amherst County High School, the “Amherite” brings “on the spot” news to the attention of the students, faculty, and the com- munity. Each month throughtout the school year the paper reflects student and faculty opinions by editorial, letters to the editor, surveys, and polls. The “Amherite” staff is composed of the students of the journalism class. It provides practical e.xper- ience in all phases of the journalistic profession and an atmosphere favorable to the dev’elopment of future careers in journalism. Now as this school year comes to a close, the Amherite staff hopes that the students hav’e been kept well informed and hav ' e come to know their school better through the articles vv ' hich have been presented to them in their newspaper.

i 5 LEHD BY liVlNO OTHERS Martin Walker and Gayle Watts read a motto of the Beta Club during an assembly program. Honesty and Leadership Beta Club This year the Beta Club, a national honorary so- ciety composed of juniors and seniors, who have shown excellence in leadership, honesty, service, and scholar- ship has partaken in many interesting activities. These scholars alone have maintained a scholarship average of 89.5 or above. Various club members were responsible for ar- ranging an attractive display case each month. De- legates attended the Beta Convention and learned new ideas for improving the club. Each year a candlelight and tapping service is held to induct those sophomores meeting the require- ments for eligibility of membership. Throughout the year, members assist weak stu- dents whenever necessary. The club was also respons- ible for donating an item to the new activities room. The Beta Club seal is displayed by Catherine John- son and Patsy Adams.
