Activities, activities . . . always something new Assemblies, raffles, Spirit Plaque competitions, food and clothing drives, Homecoming and the first Basketball Homecoming are just a few of the activities Student Council has completed since September. Beginning in July, the Student Council has worked to keep everyone involved and activities a part of daily life. President, Diane Soulliere, instituted a strict attendance policy, recommended assemblies sponsored by the classes and kept the monthly meetings full of ideas for new projects. “I think Diane’s doing a good job. She’s responsible and if there’s a job to be done, she’ll do it.” (Michelle Ellis) Student Council also decided to have a Christmas tree in the cafeteria. Overnight a few elves added the decorations to the tree, so when students cut through the cafeteria December 15, it was with a little extra cheer. The tree will continue as an annual tradition. With the strength in student leadership, the activities never seemed to stop. “The feelings of accomplishment after a big project has been completed and seeing that others have fun make all the work worth it.” (Diane Soulliere) Christmas cheer begins with a new Student Council tradition. A tree with ornaments representing all school groups was added to the cafeteria. Bill Hogsett adds the tinsel as a finishing touch. Balloons . . . and more balloons . . . Jodi Moravcik and Krista Sudberry try to keep up with the demand for more balloons before the helium runs out. Once the parade is safely enroute, Diane Soulliere and Carole Batuk represented the Student Council in a convertible. Hula Hoops return as Rob Tucker strives to keep the hoop in motion during the pep assembly, Friday evening, November 4. Student Council 23

Candles and pins for high achievers NHS is just what the name implies — an honor. It recognizes students who have displayed excellence in scholastic performance and outstanding character. Being accepted isn’t easy. A junior must have a 3.5 g.p.a. and a senior a 3.2 g.p.a. just to be considered. The chapter at AHS has grown from its beginning in 1940 and the 13 original members to the 56 members currently involved. Active parents on the NHS steering committee were: Mrs. Biland, Mrs. Bieke, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Murphy. “I feel privileged and proud and honored to be a member. I think everyone will go a long way in life.” (Diana D’Eath) Officers — Tim Trumble, President, Amy Sadlowski, Vice President, Shelley Neff, Treasurer and Mike Vernier, Secretary help keep the group active. Flowers were sold last March for Muscular Dystrophy and an Adopt-A Grandparent program has been scheduled for the spring along with the annual senior breakfast held in May. Tammy Baker warmly welcomes new member Taina Bruun, exchange student to NHS. President, Tim Trumble expresses views on the leadership qualities evident in all members. Mike Vernier explains the significance of service to the new members of NHS. Treasurer, Shelley Neff, prepares the candle after her speech on character.
