He ers Society und Qoes year f decision kin National Honor Society went through a year of revision and debate. This group was designed to spotlight intelligent and actively involved students. The method of choosing members has been under some criticism during the past few years. A commit- tee evolved to study the problem of entrance into the organization. The committee met during the summer and discussed the problems. The year proved decision-filled. One of the issues that raised some questions was the grade point average. The committee decided it needed to be raised, To strengthen the group, the grade requirement went up to 3.3. Presiding over the National Honor Society, Doug Nyberg received help from Vice President Chet DeFonso, Secretary Carrie Carpenter, and Treasurer Beth Ronning. The outstanding N.H.S. students chosen by the staff made up one of the leading groups at Shawnee Mission West. Many of the students involved in National Honor Society were active and gave of their productive talents in other school activities. The newest members were in- ducted into N.H.S. during the candlelit initiation ceremony held in the spring.

Stud nts rally to rend r unn rt f r est endeavo S If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic sup- porter. These immortal words from the popular movie Grease summed it all up for Pep Club at West. Obviously all students couldn't be athletes, so they combined themselves into Pep Club, the largest and most energetic organization at school. Their main function consisted of giving moral support and spirit for games. This year the roughly 7,600 members participated in fewer pep assemblies than ever before. Nevertheless, they still maintained a ter- rifically high level of enthusiasm. Pep Club had car rallies, buses to away games, and occasional decora- tions and posters on the bridge for various events. 22 Pep Club Students signified their membership in Pep Club by wearing their official Pep Club T-shirts. For the first time in recent years the design of the T-shirts was determined by a contest. Interested students submit- ted their ideas to the officers, who chose a caricature of Ferdlip. The officers played a key role in all of the Pep Club goings-on. lim Cum, Kevin McCracken, Allison McKim, and Beth Schumaker put hours of time and talent into each of the activities and two extremely important happenings of the year, the Homecoming and Sweetheart ceremonies. ----ning-u-,.
