Accepting the challenge of excellence in education, Service, and character . .. National Honor Society National Honor Society rewards aca- demic performance and provides an oppor- tunity of Service for juniors and seniors. The ticket to membership includes a 3.5 grade point average and forty-eight quality points from course work, including at least one enriched class. Those who uphold membership in NHS are honored at gradu- ation with a special seal on their diploma, an indication of lifetime membership in this prestigious organization. Chosen on the bases of leadership, scholarship, Service, and character, mem- bers are encouraged to serve their classes. NHS, under the leadership of Mrs. Zulma Borders and Ms. Mary Rounds, conducts many worthwhile projects. Traditionally at Christmas members make pillows for the elderly in nearby homes. On campus NHS members tutor students who are having difficulty in academic classes. Another popular NHS tradition is the an- nual Christmas party. Members relax and enjoy good fellowship and good food after studies and working on Service projects. Members team up for Trivial Pursuit com- petitions and pit wits in Charades. Munch- ing chips and cookies, members shuffle cards for (JNO game. Warming next to a cozy fire, several Senior members discuss their pians for college and speculate about questions on the 18th century English lit- erature exam. Everyone anticipates the soft ball game and the frisbee throws. Also during the spring semester two lucky sen¬ iors receive college textbook gifts from a drawing of all Senior members names. Upholding the motto “Excellence in Education”, NHS has established itself as one of the largest and most visible groups on campus. A strong NHS chapter serves as an inspiration for younger students and encourages all to do their best. Feelings of accomplishment and the leadership for later life often begin with high school in- volvement in NHS. National Honor Society officers horse around in a Mayo, Vice-President.

Borders, Sponsors, Robin Trahan, Secretary, Amanda “Of all the clubs I belong to, it is the one that is the most important to me.” Robin Trahan, seniors ”lt’s important because it recognizes the high achievers and it gives them a group to be with. It is an honor to be proud of.” Lisa Cheuk, senior “Just due to the nature of the organiza¬ tion, we in it are inclined to be a bit eccentric! For instance, our idea of fun might be playing charades, using tities of great literary works for the things to be acfed out. Some people take their football really seriously, we go out for blood with Trivial Pursuit!” Susan Matthews, senior ”1 think it’s an honor to be a part of a group that has such talented people in it.” Gene Hodgson, senior “When I was a freshman, I saw the in- duction ceremony but I didn’t know what it was. Then I learned what it stood for and I worked hard for that honor my sophomore year. I wanted it and I looked forward to it.” Khanh Truong, senior National Honor Society • 49
