9 President The Student Government Association had a very active year, led by the first female president since 1 963. The SGA once again sponsored the yearly homecoming dance after the big game. Although everybody was wet, there was a good turnout for the dance. Student Council members worked hard taking up money and ribbons at the door and especially cleaning up afterwards. Many fund-raising projects were Initi- ated, and some proved successful. Valo- grams and the new Christmas-grams always sell well. Everybody thinks the more they send the more they ' ll get! The penny-drop was held to boost class points, but It really damaged some classes ' point standing more than it helped. One of the most important things the SGA did this year was the Blood Drive. Held March 31 , many pints of blood were donated to the Red Cross. April 22nd was CRAZY DAY. Students took the title very literally, and for fifth and sixth periods that day, not only were games played, but mud, water, eggs, and flour was slung. Results were as follows; seniors — 1 st place; sophomores — 2nd place; eighth grade — 3rd place; juniors — 4th place; freshmen — 5th place; sev- enth grade — 6th place. More than likely, that ' s the last CRAZY DAY Oneonta High School will see for a few years. Rusty Moore.

Bright Students Recognized at NHS Inductions Eight seniors were tapped into membership of the National Honor Society near the end of the 1980 school year. To be eligible for the Honor Society a student must have an 88 or above aver- age from the ninth grade through the first semes- ter of their junior year. These names are then taken to the faculty to be rated on the qualities of leadership, service, and character. Rookie sponsor. Miss Jackie Crow, aided the society in the selling of homecoming corsages. For variety, silk mums were sold. The tapping ceremony was held April 6, 1981 . Sixteen new members, including two seniors, were tapped into membership, and along with their parents, they were honored at a reception. The honor society ushers for both baccalau- reate and graduation as well as the Miss Blount County pageant. 7 rj-(.. L Honor Sooely Rusty Moore commefK»s the lapping cer nony
