The Honors Serve Society 0 Why is it that year after year kids go through the red tape of joining the National Honor Soci- ety? Applicants must first have at least a 3.4 grade point average. Then, they have to complete these applications listing all their extracurricular activities and community services. But wait, there ' s more! After these applica- tions have been voted on by a panel of teachers (juniors are required five votes and seniors seven), they are given to the Admissions Committee where each application is judged. Once the choices have been made, each applicant is notified of his accep- tance and the induction ceremony is held in May. What ' s the reasoning behind all this hassle? The majority of the 34 members felt NHS acted as an impressive statistic for college applications. For others, it pleased their demanding par- by Paul M Mylod ents. Whatever the reason, it kept students coming back every year. Once inducted, there were many activities offered for inter- ested members. Ushering parents during the fall open house started the ball rolling. The pumpkin sale was also a worthwhile NHS spon- sored event. Some of the money raised was donated to the Cancer Society in the name of Dr. Henry Maloney ' s wife who passed away I feel better about myself now that I ' ve gotten some recogni- tion and rewards for the efforts and hard work I ' ve put in here at a high school like Seaholm. -Cheryl Bert I «e 1 n m 1 V S ivsiBiiyj J mm» ' jk, ' ■,v H I 1 W Standing among a mountain of soon-to-be- bought pumpkins at the October pumpkin sale.

The activity most benefi- cial to Seaholm was tutoring. Every Wednesday after school, NHS members tutored students in any subject. A frequent chemistry tutor, Scott Milius, said, We must have a good reputation, because we always have more people than we have tutors. NHS did provoke involvement and enthusiasm but there were also those who didn ' t contribute because they were either too involved in other activities or they felt it was not worthwhile. When describing NHS, Treasurer Karen Marshall said, Sometimes we ' re unenthusiastic and it ' s no one ' s fault. We should be inducted earlier so there ' s more time to get involved and organized. Whatever the viewpoint may have been NHS did serve the community, Seaholm and its stu- dents, and a reason such as this should be motivational for becom- ing a member. 70 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
