Student Council made significant gains in cementing collective bargaining powers within the framework of student body-administration functions. In exercising their executive roles, the council evaluated the applications of classes and organizations for concessions and entertainments, continued a student council exchange program among area schools, sponsored the scholastic banquet, and sponsored World Clothing Week at B.H.S. In the fall, several officers attended the State Student Council Convention, where they gleaned insight into the operation of student-government bodies. Holding two open meetings before the student body to demonstrate machinery and procedures of the council, engaging in a number of fundraising projects, and decorating for the Tiger Festival filled the agenda for the industrious student executives. Scholars Honored Maintaining a 2 average proved easily attainable for this select group of aspiring scholars, members of the Chimney Rock Chapter of the National Honor Societv, membership in which is the highest honor a student can achieve. Initiation of new members took place on March 5, in an impressive and auspicious ceremony. Stage decorations of blue columns featured gold lettering of the touchstones of the society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Amid subdued tones of blue lighting, each new member was first tapped and then inducted into the society by receiving a scroll of membership.
