ACADEMICS CAN BE FUN When most people think of academics, they think of ”bor-r-r- rlng ; but academics can be fun, as the Na- tional Honor Society and academic games teams clearly Illustrate. Through most of the school year, the Nation- al Honor Society’s time Is spent raising funds for the annual trip of their choice. To raise money the members sell can- dy, sponsor dances, and have bottle drives. All of this hard work doesn’t seem that bad when the members are able to look forward to a weekend trip to Toronto. The National Honor Society also helps many people during the year. The members take a day from school to help out with the Special Olympics, and they Christmas carol in the elementary school. They also take some of their own time to tutor some of the high school students who need help with their studies. One competition that our school participates In, other than sports, is the academic games. There are math, English, science, and social studies teams, each consisting of four players and one back- up player. These stu- dents study hard for the competition and are re- warded by either a win or just the pleasure of participating and knowing that they did try. At this year’s aca- demic games Deckerville students came away champions In both science, beating Carsonville-Port Sanilac 4-2, and social studies, edging Marlette 7-5, In very close matches. The math and English teams had strong performances, but neither reached the final round In this single elimination tournament. -Candy Durham LISTENING TO MUSIC IN TORONTO are seniors Karen Stone and Jennifer Slngler.
