An NHS member doesn't hove fo be o broin, but he needs to be hord-working ond determined. Donno Foster Reoching out to others Although most looked upon being in Student Council and National Honor Society as a status symbol, hard work and long hours accompanied the hon- or. Members grew accustomed to put- ting others first and themselves last. Traditionally, Student Council spon- sored the Homecoming Dance and sold candy for two S300 scholarships. Profits raised by these efforts also went toward the purchase of a school mar' quee, their most worthwhile project ac- cording to sponsor Betty Mehling. Fi- nally, they treated teachers with snacks in a Teachers Day Salute. A spring dance and selling candy after school raised money for the Na- tional Honor Society's two scholarships each worth 5300. Their outstanding project of the year, said sponsor Martha Donna Foster As president of NHS Donna and event For her outstanding leadership and dedication as a member Donna was awarded the NHS scholarship islet 'V f Foster headed up every activity 36 ORGANIZATIONS Bass, was giving a Christmas tree and gifts and singing carols at the Harvest Haven Nursing Home.

Ir isn'r enough for cheerleoders ro simply smile ond tools pretty. Mrs. Poulo Cogdell, JV Sponsor It just oin't the some Gone are the days when all that cheerleaders had to do was smile and be pretty - now cheerleading has be- come a rigorous athletic event. People think cheerleading is easy and that we don't do much. We just have to make it look like it's easy, thats a task in itself, sophomore Karen Kith- cart said. Like athletics, cheerleading has be- come a competitive field. During the summer the IV took five superior rib- bons in the evening competitions and captured a spirit stick at the end of the week. The Varsity received three red ribbons and two blue ribbons against stiff competition, according to IV cheerleader sponsor Paula Cogdell. The Varsity also captured several spirit sticks and were nominated for final competition. In their next competition, the NCA regionals at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, both squads com- bined and competed against eight oth- er large varsity squads in their division, including several 5A schools. Even though the girls weren't chosen for the national finals, they performed excep- tionally well, said varsity sponsor, Mrs. Krista Kramer. Everyone thought we were going to win, said sophomore Cassie Dane. In the Coppell Cheer Competition, in which five squads competed, Cop- pell placed second behind Sanger High School. Cheerleading is harder this year because we've participated in more competitions, that means we've had to work more than in past years, senior Rochelle Ballard said, but competing UP IN THE AIR. Freshman Laura Fergu- son and sophomores Linda Losinski and Cassie Dane raise freshman Teri Ballinger and the spirit level at a pep rally. 3 8 ORGANIZATIONS helped us because we were able to get ideas from other schools. Most cheerleaders confessed the hardest thing they had to work on this year was jumps, to get them up high enough and to look good. Mrs. Paula Cogdell said their weaknesses were in the area of making the routines sharp. Their greatest strength was in pyra- mids, said Mrs. Codgell. They are strong girls and are diverse enough to be really creative in their stunts. The girls have worked hard, and some have realized that cheerleading is not all play - it is hard work, Mrs. Codgell said. You have to be ready to work and give up a few things in order to be a really good cheerleader these days. A good cheerleader is a combi- nation of athletic ability, a positive lead- er, and being extremely peppy and en- ergetic. Most of all, there must be a desire to be a great cheerleader and to work for it. VARSITY: fFront Rowl Karen Kithcart, Stacey Palmer.
