Scholars gain honors, tu tors aid kids - - society exists at GBS II A whose major objective is NJ- only to recognize aca- demic excellence. This is the Cum Laude Society. It is a pres- tigious society, with only seven high schools in this state as charter members. Members of Cum Laude must have a 4.3 academic GPA dur- ing the spring of their junior year or a 4.0 in the spring of their senior year. The society may also accept two honorary mem- bers each year. Those elected in 1979 were faculty members, Russell C. Ackerman and David H. Smith, Jr. Cum Laude exists just for recognition. It is probably the most formal club that exists in the school, commented student president Dave Langer. NHS - - ational Honor Society honors students excel- - - ling in scholarship, lead- ership, service and character. In order to judge students more on this basis, Presidents' NHS-lst row: Jeff Berman, Nick Giam- pietro, Jim Klausner, Julie Krueger. 2nd Row: John Marquenski, Cheri Libby, Becky Johns, Nicole Suerth, Cindy Al- spaugh, Linda Peterson, Patti Johnson, Marlene Fenster, Margie Nelson, Lauren Mogensen, Bob Prihoda. 3rd Row: Jill Schaum, Marc Schwartz, Paul Kaputska, Dana Filliman, Ricki Gaynor, Conny Stimmler, Renee Rady, Diane Marth, Ei- leen Hagedorn, Denise Radialowski, Marcie Wangman. 4th Row: Laurie Ka- han, Barb Loew, Wendy Gerschefske, Michelle Kosik, Nancy Gilligan, June McLean, Karin Urevig, Margaret Melnis, Weezie Powers, Connie Seabert, Myrna Sarrafian. 5th Row: Tom Nelson, Eric Gilliland, Tracee Hoffmeyer, Marilyn Berdick, Tracy Woody, Karen Nelson, Todd Coulam, Jeff Botker, Jim Park, Ed Winter, Howard Chodash. 6th Row: Jerry Scully, Tom Pettett, Gary Powers, Scott Schurman, Doug Sanders, Jeff Hunt, Michael Schrauth, Gary Losch, Neil Cannon, Nancy Henley. Lim Maude, NHS, Tutors Council has proposed changing the system by which NHS selects its members. Presidents' Council, Student Council, the Council of Instruc- tional Supervisors and the Ad- ministrative Council are the four groups which make changes such as this one. Presidents' Council has begun work on this new system because its mem- bers have a wide variety of inter- ests, are experienced and have no vital stake in the final decision since most of them are seniors, said Mr. David H Smith, director student activities. The present system is based on a combination of activities and grades. This combination is assigned a point score. The stu- dents with the top 10 percent of these scores are inducted into NHS in the spring of their junior year, and in the following fall the next five percent are inducted. Under the new system mem- bers will be required to hold a 3.3 all-subject GPA and to have participated in eight groups or activities divided between at least two of four possible -areas. Each student must also have completed one service project during the past year and must have one teacher sponsor him. This new system will, hopeful- ly, start with the Class of '83 and will work out very well, accord- ing to Smith. It fthe new sys- teml gives an added stature to NHS and honors more than just academics, he added. NHS members are also con- tributing to the new system by putting students' activities on computer to facilitate the selec- tion process. ln addition to this, NHS mem- bers tutor students and also par- ticipate with Key Club and Stu- dent Council in various activities such as the Thanksgiving dinner for the handicapped, Kirk Cen- ter party and raising money for Onward House. NHS president Nick Giampie- tro commented ironically, I've found that students in the NHS tend to be so committed to the activities which have gotten them into the NHS that they are not able to participate in many NHS activities. Tu tors - - n addition to being H taught during the day at - - GBS, one group of GBS'ers teaches others one night each week. These students are the Onward House tutors. This organization, of about 30 students, tutors mainly Latino primary students whose parents do not speak English fluently. Tutors also sponsor holiday parties and an annual field trip for their students. They also help their students make gifts for their parents. According to the club's advis- er, Mr. Howard Romanek, tutor- ing gives GBS,ers the chance to get in a different environment and to deal with responsibility. It also gives them an opportu- nity to participate in an activity which they enjoy. As Myrna Sar- rafian and Sue Daley stated, We enjoy spreading our knowl- edge and helping others.
