NHS Awakens Inductees Early one November morn- ing, Qalong the lines of 5:3OJ, several students who were tapped by the National Honor Society were rudely awakened and brought to school still in their pajamas. A test was given to determine' how well the smartest students in the school wake up. This was the NHS ini- tiation. The purpose of NHS was to honor outstanding students. We try to make NHS some- thing students have to work for by doing services for others, remarked treasurer Mark Cass- man. Criteria for membership was based on scholarship, ser- vice, leadership, and character. These qualities were considered important for individuals to be an active, positive force in the school and community. Stu- dents must maintain a 3.5 grade point average and have applica- tions filled out by six teachers. The highest goal of this year was to create a sense of belong- ing within the group. This is the only non-study group in the school for the academic achievers, commented Adviser Kay Tomsich. We are trying to get them together in a social at- mosphere with the intent of do- ing service projects. Services were organized to help the senior citizens with shoveling snow and washing windows. Other activities planned were the fund raising rock+a-thon and numerous bake sales. 54 he ,,,,,, , S After receiving her membership card, Denise Mikita shakes hands with treasurer, Mark Gassman and adviser, Mrs. Kay Tomsich.

Skiers Love The Pain The 44 enthusiastic members of the Ski Club didn't seem to mind early morning rises, long bus rides, and sub-zero temperatures included in this year's ski season. The members went through these sufferings to enjoy the many pleasures of being on the slopes. Mr. Mike Varone, woodshop teacher, completed his first year sponsoring the club. He was re- sponsible for keeping track of the .fter making sure she has everything - cis, boots, gloves, and hat - Stevie lornig sets out to Ski Copper. 2 ,.,,..s....s-N...i...t , aan!! members, getting lift ticket dis- counts, and finding the cheapest bus company. Greyhound!KAL charged S1580 for seven trips which was an improvement over last year's cost. The price included only the bus ride. You don't have the hassles of driving, Varone explained, you can just sit back and relax or get up and party. Members were able to enjoy full days of skiing at Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Winter Park, and Vail. The Hallelujah Bowl at Copper Mountain proved too tough on 1 January 22 for two ski club mem- bers. Paul Theel had a memorable experience on this slope when he broke his leg. The same day, Canda McGregor had a painful wipe-out on the same slope and ruptured her medial ligament. I heard it pop, declared Canda, it was really gross. The main attractions of the club were the great snow conditions, the convience, and the price. Gold C books were sold by members to raise money and make the last trip cheaper. ,A .- , 2 , 1 'Cr ,. f in '41 ' , ni l 4 JW l I Y 4: nba 9 'iz J, - .,..g.? lim 592111131151 Canda McGregor, Kathy rises, creating long shadows across their Murphy, and Stacey Lowenberg ski to the path, bottom of the run as the sun gradually

President Steve Pore awards Julie Spencer and Bonnie Jones their membership cards that other members received at the induction ceremonies on December 13. New members also receive NHS pins, but the order for them has not been placed. Now that the new members have been initiated and officially accepted, NHS is geared toward helping others in the school and community. Tentative plans were made to tutor students in math and science, while other members help the elderly by doing odd jobs like washing windows and shoveling snow. National Honor Society president, Steve Pore, is the person in charge of the meetings. He works closely with the other officers to come up with ideas for community services and fund raisers and presents them to the organization for their approval. The year got off to a slow start because attendance was low at the meetings scheduled during school hours. The meetings were moved to before school because many of the NHS members had honors classes they felt they could not afford to miss. 29
