IN PURSUIT OF TITLES The Library Club is one of the most hardworking organizations at Buffalo High School. With the help and advice of Mrs. Joy Harrison, they keep our library functional. Their job is a daily one. Constant- ly, they check books out, check books in, shelve books, retrieve books from the junior high school bookdrop, take care of the magazines and hundreds of other things that come up from day to day.

Alexander Pope Webster's dictionary defines both trivia and trivial as unimportant matter; something that is common place and found everywhere. Throughout this school year our days were filled with little things, that by themselves seemed unim- portant. And sometimes too. the everyday routines, people, and places seemed ordinary. Yet, it was the pursuit of these things that made 1985-86 what it was and what we were. Maybe Alexander Pope was right; memora- ble things do come from trivial pursuits.

IN PURSUIT OF PROMINENCE ’Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.” Alexander Pope The National Honor Society was introduced at Buffalo this year. Membership is formed of Juniors and Seniors. Their advisor is Mrs. Myra Glor. Acceptance is based on grade point average, leadership, character and service. The object of the organization is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, and to encourage the development of character in our school. The service project for this year was promotion of the bond issue. The chapter distributed informative flyers en- couraging voters to support the school. The NHS is a valuable addition to the high school campus. The Honor Society is always on its toes. 'Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he That every man in arms should wish to be.
