National Honor Society National Honor Society, a club of a different sort. A club not intended for everyone. Only those that meet require- ments can participate in the club. lt's a club, as the title says, full of honor. To even be considered for the club, one must have at least a 3.5 grade point average. Once this requirement is met, one must fill out an application on ser- vice, which is evaluated on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 as the lowest and 4 the highest. While the service application is being evaluated, the teachers evaluate those that apply on leadership and character. Using the same scale on service. the aver- age score of these are then added to the grader point average and the service score. These four scores must add up to a 12.5 to be accepted into the club. Getting accepted into the club is just the beginning. Members are expected to attend all the meetings and participate in 2X3 of the functions. The meetings are held two times a month, every second and fourth wednesday. The meetings commence at 7:00 a.m. in room 4G. The officers and f or the sponsor run the meet- ings. This year's officers are as follows: President - Jeff Reeser, Vice President - Ricky Gray, Secretary - Lisa Os- borne, Treasurer - Karen Boos and Sponsor - Mrs. Couture. Since the ciub is a service organization the functions of the club deal with com- munity service. Some of this year's func- tions include, adopting nursing homes and families, working at the Jeffco Action Center, and helping with Special Olym- pics and Adopted Aquatic's. Participating in these functions, the members of NHS go an extra step. They uphold the honor given to them and carry it, each to their own limits and beyond.

Future Homemakers . . . The only thing most people know about FHA is the middle word, Homes maker. This attitude about the club often has frustrated the members in past years, and rightly so. No self-respecting young woman these days wishes to be taken for granted. Although today's woman may well have the traditional skills associated with keeping a home, the FHA member works very hard at developing skills which in past years seemed to have no part in the traditional home setting. Prob- ably the strongest emphasis within the FHA structure is on the development of leadership skills, skills which have their primary use outside of the home. In past years, we have had Green Mountain FHA members so skilled in leadership that they have served in county wide and even state wide elected offices. The selection process for being permitted to run for these offices is so rigorous that most FHA members never pursue them all the way through. Almost all of the total screening process is occupied with a debate and questions of what to do in many many situations which can test the leadership ability of anyone. In recent years, the club has been spon- sored by the very capable Mrs. Sarah Nesmith, but Mrs. Nesmith took a sab- batical leave for this school year. There was considerable concern that the extra activity in FHA might be lost, but there was nothing to worry about. The person employed to fill in this year, Susan Julian, has been a pleasant surprise. Not only has she taken over the home economics classes in grand style, but she has also willingly and capably assumed the spon- sorship of FHA. Because she has done so so capably that the FHA tradition which has always been so strong at Green Mountain continues as a strong and active program. Congratulations to this year's FHA members, and hats off to Susan Ju- lian, this year's sponsor. W F.H,A. pride. ' Sponsor Susan Jullian. F.H.A. banner.
