NHS proves they’re Naturally Hard-working Students! Splash, s.losh, splatter, smooth, drip? These were the most familiar sounds to the National Honor Society as they repainted every pole, rack, signpost, and goal on the school campus during spring break. The actual painting wasn’t the only labor involved in the service project. Money for the paint was earned by selling donuts to high school students during break. These funds also helped purchase Mr. Gray’s new reclining chair. Those, however, weren't the only activ- ities of the NHS. The group took its turn decorating the halls for a football game, including the huge sign that fell all the way from the third floor English room to the ground. They also held their annual induc- tion which brought in four new members. Mrs. Linda Gray, NHS sponsor, feels the group has really become more involved the past few years. They (NHS) never did ser- vice projects until last year, even though it's a criteria for having a chapter , said Mrs. Gray. So it's obviously improved and I still look for things to get better. But things are definitely better for the National Honor Society as their enrollment slowly rises. Each year more are willing to participate in service projects and in sev- eral years this year's members will have forgotten all about the clumps of paint that almost never came out of their hair, and maybe the paint drips will eventually wear off the sidewalks.

.. . school groups are best way to stay active One of the most active school or- ganizations was not in high school; it was a group of elementary stu- dents called Archer City Talented Students (ACTS). At the beginning of the year, ACTS listened to speakers who told them about nursing home life. ACTS was involved with Texas Future Problem Solving which dealt with the elderly. Later, ACTS “rolled in dough” at the Archer Service Center by mak- ing rikis, a Greek cookie. Before the year was out, these students had visited a bank, inves- tigated the problems a handicapped person would have at school, par- ticipated in a state problem-solving contest, ventured into history by reading roadside markers, visited a cemetery, performed the play “The Beach, and attended Creativity Day with Windthorst. The new group, led by teacher Theresa Henry, approached every project with enthusiasm. Many of the members even submitted arti- cles telling of their activities to the school paper, the CAT’s CLAW.
