THE VARSITY CLUB is one of the most privileged clubs to be a part of. It is made up of athletes who have lettered in a particular sport. One of the privileges of being in the club is being able to purchase a Varsity Club jacket. Also, we have many fund raising ac- tivities that profit our members and in- dividuals. Our main project each year is to purchase a gift that will benefit the athletic department. Our sponsors are Mary Tolley, Lucy Harris, and Plicky Williams. Our officers are: President, Veronica Franklin; Vice-President, Karen Gillispie, Secretary, Penny Cabiness; Treasurer, Andy Wingfield; and Reporter, Berneta Moore.

NHS Raises Standards The organization known as the National Honor Society is made up of students here at A.C.H.S. with a 3.25 average or above. These members are chosen from qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The induction ceremony for this school year was filled with suspense as officers and other members of the club wandered through the student body tapping each of the new faces invited to join this prosperous club. To help the new members get settled into the club, a covered dish dinner was held in the school cafeteria; in December, all members were invited to go Christmas carolling and then at- tend a party held at the home of Mrs. Mary Holland. Some of the goals of the club were to make contributions to the Patrick Henry Boys’ Plantation and towards a student at- tending Presidential Classroom. This year the N.H.S. spon- sored and issued the Mary Grey Holland Scholarship of $50.00. .
