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. . Officers: President, Rindy Lawson; 1st Vice-President, Glen Duff; 2nd Vice-President, Bernice Mclvor; Secretary, Marlene Moore; Treasurer, Ronnie Richardson; Reporter, Doris Hughes; Chaplain, Laura Shorter.

PRESENTING different areas of occupational interest, in the form of monthly assemblies, allows the Career Council to assist the student body in a special way. The council, along with their sponsors Mrs. Harriet P. James, Mrs. Joyce Jamerson and Mrs. Linda Archer, arranges assemblies which they feel correlate with the in- terests of students and their plans for the future. Composing the Career Council is a group of students from each grade level who show an active interest in leadership and future planning.
