Also, a student must have an accu- mulative B average in all other courses in order to be eligible to join the society. Additional members were initiated into the S.H.S. in May of 1981. Mr. Alvarez organizes the society each year and the members vote for the President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary of their choice. This years officers included President, John Trimberger; Vice-President. Kathy O ' Leary; the Treasurer, Lynne Dickey; and the Secretary, Marian Quinn. The purpose of the society is to give recognition to those students who have worked hard to become competent in the Spanish language. The society planned many activities including a trip to Spanish-Mexican restaurants. In the second year of the union of the Math and Science Clubs, several successful projects were undertaken. Under the leadership of Secretary Jenny Rissky, Vice-President Debbie Mazil, and President Tom LeComp- te, and the apt moderation of Mr. Szorc, the club studied items of in- terest to the members. One of the projects was a measure- ment of student reaction times under stress. Another was concerned with the physics of locomotives and air- planes. The club also prepared for the annual MAA mathematics exam. The year was one of the most memorable.
