Although the main project of the year was the tutoring program to help students who needed this assistance, each month had its special project. An important one was correspondence with our men in Viet Nam. At a special N H S Assembly, to which the parents of the newly chosen members were invited, the new Senior group, consisting of Anne Chisholm. Elizabeth Culligan and Mari Schermeyer, and the six Juniors Barbara Blair. Heather Doheny. Mary Louise Dorman. Joan Fitzgibbon, Jamie Kreher and Michele Pyka received certificates of mem- bership and N H S keys. Since outstanding Scholarship. Character and Service are required for membership, it was a proud day for parents whose daughters were chosen for the honor. 32
