NHS Students Help Community Activities NHS provides the future for America, but so do bars. It depends on what kind of future you're talking about. commented Cynthia Scheisel, advisor of National Honor Society. There were a few requirements to be fulfilled if you wanted to be in Na- tional Honor Society. Students were required to have a 3.4 or better grade point average and be at least a sophomore. Students who were academically qualified were sent applications which were filled out and returned to Ms. Scheisel. The faculty then reviewed the applications and the students' records. They also looked for leadership, ser- vice and character. Faculty members then approved or disapproved each eligible student for National Honor Society membership. Palo Verde's National Honor Socie- ty Club was the most active in the Southwest. They met once a month on Monday. National Honor Society of- ficers were Patty Sarrels, presidentg Amy Wilson, vice presi- dentg Lori Bool, secretaryg Shelly Neal, treasurer. National Honor Society members helped out in the Special Olympics and did community services such as making Christmas stock- ings and collecting toys for the kids at Casa de los Ninos. The National Honor Society also worked for the Easter Seals Olympics. Fund raisers were also in- cluded in the program to raise money for scholar- ships. Summing up the general idea of NHS, Tammy Grossheim said, NHS is a great experience. We have a lot of fun together and are doing things that are worth- while and helpful. 9 112 Organizations ,ggi

4- 'W i Jubileers and Concert Choir Work for Funds All work and no fun was not the case when it came to Concert Choir and Jubileers. Both choirs worked hard for recognition and recognition is what they received, but a lot of fun was in- volved in all the hard work. One of the biggest successes during the year for any club was achieved by Concert Choir with their Guys and Dolls production. Long hours were worked and re-worked during the preparation for opening night. Dress rehearsals, time off from class, and strenuous work all made the produc- tion worthwhile and enjoyable for everyone to watch. It was really quite good, the Concert Choir did an ex-- cellent iob. I really enjoyed the produc- tion, stated senior Gregg Nicklaus. Concert Choir wasn't the only hardworking organiza- tion though, because Jubileers also had a very successful year. Among the many things that were ac- complished by Jubileers were fund raisers to help pay for the trip that was taken to Flagstaff during the month of February. Car washes were one of the most popular means of fund raising for most l groups and the most fun. l J ubileers took advantage of j this 'money raising oppor- tunity. For both Choirs, the year turned out to be as suc- cessful as hoped. The stu- dent body accepted all the ' choirs well when they per- formed 'at many third hour assemblies during the year. The students thouroughly enjoyed the performances provided by the choirs. Jubileers!Concert Choirs 111
