Skiers Another new sport has been intro- duced at Beachwood High, It has be- come the highest participation sport of the school. The sport is skiing, and the ski club numbers well over sixty. It was early in January, 1963 when the club hit its first slope. The lessons were given at Mont Chalet, a ski area in Chesterland, Ohio. The highlight of the skiing year was the weekend of February 15, when several lucky enthusiasts spent three days skiing in New York. A special thanks is to be given to Mr. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Tamarkin who organized and led the ski club to their first successful season. Mr. Davis gives ski enthusiasts a last minute briefing. Beachwoods first Ski Club enjoyed a weekend at New York's Holiday Valley. Mrs. Tamarkin points out where the more difficult slopes are. 67

The highest scholastic recognition offered to a high school student is mem - bership in the National Honor Society. Its members are juniors and seniors having acquired a B+accumulative average. They not only must achieve academic excellence, but their character, service, and citizenship are also considered. Carrying on the tradition of past National Honor Societies, a College Night was once again offered to the senior high school. It is hoped that this program helped the stu- dents sensibly select their colleges. Led by President Bob Baker, Vice- President Brenda Saltzman, Secretary Connie Terrell, Treasurer Joan Heller, and faculty advisor Dr. Joseph Ruben, the National Honor Society worked dili- gently to maintain its high standards.
