Making it ... to the top. Have you ever tried to get a group of 30 opinionated people to agree on one thing? It takes leader- ship. That's what the members of Big Sky's National Honor Society and Boys and Girls State were known to strive for. Academic leadership, governmen- tal leadership, student rights and stu- dent responsibility were concerns of the majority of these students. A search for quality was their goal. Being honored for their academic acheivements and keeping their grade point average at the very top is how members of National Honor Society strive for the best at Big Sky. When colleges see that you are a member of NHS, they know that you're a student of high standard who will try to acheive goals for your career, said NHS president Jill Stetler. Only juniors and seniors can qualify for NHS. As a junior students must maintain a 3.5 average and as seniors they must have a 3.0 average to become pait of NHS. Meetings are held once a month. Pot luck dinners and a 'college bowl' quiz game are also held for fun away from the books. When I was voted into National Honor Society it made me feel good because of the recogniton for my grades, said Tracy Graham. The ptupose of Boys and Girls state is to educate students in the duties. privledges, rights and responsiblities of United States citizenship, said senior Jenny Murphy. I learned a lot about Government and the ollices. But even more I learn- ed about how to get along with other people. said Murphy. At State, delegates elect their own officers in the manner used by the Montana election procedure and its members. The way I felt I could get the rnost of out of Boys State was to get really involved. Although I was busy Writing speeches, the effort was worthwhile because I learned a lot, said Steve Grover. Grover held the position of Mayoral Assistant, County Attorney and Attorney General. Girls and Boys State wasn't all hard work. Some special events were planned. Mock sessions, a formal in- augration dinner and a talent show were held for the participating members. With their achievements and ex- perience, students who participated in National Honor Society and Boys and Girls State might become tom- morow's leaders and make it ALL THE WAY WOI'Kll'lQ StUClEl'ItS EICHIGVS goals 72 - National Honor Society 1 k 1 - I ill , ,E , QE
