As a junior, there are a lot of things happening and I’m glad to be a part of them. Jenny Petrovich Controversy abounded during the current year. First, there were problems with Spirit Week being cancelled because of behavior problems. Student Council felt that spirit should be continued with a Winter Spirit Week. Although it wasn’t the same as during football season, it was a success. Then in December, the issue of closed campus faced the Council and Student Faculty Board. Many felt having a closed campus would bring a lot of problems inside the school. But as the issue of a closed campus became a reality, the Student Council Committee discussed new ideas to make the change better for everyone. Students would be allowed to leave the building but restricted to the area around school. No longer would store merchants be open to students during lunch and the corner of Taft and Ainsworth would be clear. In spite of the problems, the ' 81 group had a strong year. Meetings were held the first Monday and led by Todd King. Assemblies included frisbee, magician, trampoline and an escape artist. STUDENT COUNCIL: First Row: D. Shawen. G. Greene. T. Trumble. K.

On December 3, 1980, at Gilbert Auditorium, 35 new juniors and seniors were officially inducted into the National Honor Society. After weeks of resumes, and references, the dream was a reality. Membership in the National Honor Society is more than just a grade average. Members are chosen on the basis of their attitudes, not only in school but also in the community. NHS and its sponsors recognize these exceptional students and their qualities. Through the example of the students, leadership, responsibility and character are always evident. Keynote speaker, Mrs. Basinski, reflected on the meaning of NHS in her life. Mrs. Gregg, advisor of the group, provided a historical background. Both speakers helped to clarify the role of the group in the lives of each member. With each year, the group continues to grow stressing the continual growth of excellence. NHS colors become a proud possession. 1. Kathie Schuknecht and Tim Kensora finish the tapping ceremony while the other members wait with their lit candles below the stage. 2. Speaking on the importance of scholarship is Tom Haag. 3. Debbie Chalmers expresses her feelings on service — a requirement for NHS. 4.

Key note speaker, Mrs. Basinski stresses the importance of NHS. National Honor Society made me feel like I had accomplished something in high school, besides “just getting an education. ’’ Mary Neumann 30 .
