National Notwc Society £wu , Ltodmldp, Clwjwdm The Ramshorn Chapter of the National Honor Society was chartered in 1965. Because of several years of inactivity, it was reactivated in 1983 by sponsor, Mrs. Cam Tolar. The object of the National Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in all students of the Dubois High School. The election of members to the chapter is by a chapter council consisting of the principal and members of the faculty. Any member of the faculty may propose to the council the names of the students eligible for membership.To be eligible, candidates must be a sophomore, junior, or senior and maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25. Candidates are then considered for eligibility on their service, leadership, and character. Members of the 1986-1987 National Honor Society were Tania Bernard, Kandi Freeman, Leroy Hinnant, Jill Miller, Bonnie Bowles, Kent Cole, Connie Kurasz, Dustin Ralston, and Tena Rice. During the year the organization held two cake raffles during the Junior High and High School wrestling tournaments and compiled and distributed monthly activity calendars. In March new members were tapped for election into NHS. And, on April 9 an all-school assembly was held to install the new members. Jeremy Britton, Tom Hinerman, and Scott Nishwitz were honored in a candlelight ceremony in which they received their official membership pins. Members and their parents were served refreshments after the ceremony in the Home Economics room. 2 1. New members recite their induction pledges. 2.

Acuidetuib lutpwed Effort Seven students coached by Dr. Erv Cline and Ms. Susan Flanagan attended the Wyoming Academic Decathlon in Laramie on February 6 7. Early morn- ing (7:30 a.m.) tutoring prepared the de- cathloners for the competition. The stu- dents took six written tests covering lit- erature, fine arts, social studies, math, science, and economics. In addition, each student gave a 3-5 minute speech, an im- promptu speech, was interviewed, wrote an essay, and answered questions in an oral Super Quiz on the Constitution of theUnited States. Those attending were Kandi Freeman, Jill Miller, Kent Cole, Dustin Ralston, Tom Hinerman, Shawna Titterington, and Dawn Williams. The students took a break from the testing to join Governor Mike Sullivan in a formal banquet. The highest point team and best score awards for each test were presented. The famous San Diego Chicken entertained the Dubois team when they attended a Wyoming Cowboy basketball game. A dance followed the decathlon with music by Rock on Wheels. The team greatly improved their per- formance from that of last year in both team and individual scoring. We look for even better things from this dedicated group in the future. 1.
