Honor Society Books offset brains, budget Books and brains go together, ac- cording to Honor Society philosophy. So, a bookstore of used volumes was sponsored by the Blackford Chapter. The innovation was organized on the consignment basis in which students and teachers brought in their used books which were in turn sold to the student body at reduced prices. The retail store was open during most periods of the day with members woking during their study hall periods. A new system, devised last year, was used for determining initiates. The 19 members sent names of their choices to Mrs. Ann Kerr and Mrs. Ruth Hen- derson, co-sponsors, who made the final evaluations with the help of several ad- ministrators: Dr. John Emhuff, Mr. James Landis, and Mr. Kenneth Ross. Candidates that met the standards of the society were then formally initiated into the group. The system was used for the first time in selecting ten seniors for initiation. Initiates John Stevens, Doug Rogers, Dave Ramey have vowed to uphold the constitution presented by Mrs. Ruth Henderson. Hoping to sell a paperback to Theresa Whitesell, Anita Nottingham, Sandy Beckley or Liz John- son is saleswoman Diane Feltt.

on pulse of facets of school ' s life Moonlight and Mistlr-toe . . , mar- keting swf-atfTS and sweatshirts . . . mending grievances . . . the Student Council was a melting pot of students, ideas and projects. Decorations in accordance with the theme surrounded the cafeteria with a Moonlight and Mistletoe atmosphere at the Council-sponsored Christmas dance in December. Eleven Council members organized a grievance committee with Brad Kerr, chairman. The committee reviewed grievances of students and faculty and determined their worthiness. Then the ' reported them to the Council to alleviate the problems. Selling the first BHS sweaters and sweatershirts was a fund-raising en- deavor for the club treasury. Roland Fritts, the George Washington of the BHS Student C ouncil, presided over the 46 other members. Mr. James Landis and Mrs. Polly Richman were sponsors. Selling BHS siveatershirts and sweaters ivas the Council ' s only money-making project. Sorting the piles of garments are Randy Jeffries, Lee Quillen, and Roland Fritts. Tallying the voles for the representative for their homeroom are Ralph Penrod, Mike Nor- ton, and Kathy Mehling. A variety of emotions is displayed at a typical grie- vance committee meeting as Brad Kerr. Susan Fread, Steve Weschke, and Tom Rea argue for or against the complaints — and solutions — that are brought up.
