They Put It All Together Being a member of the National Honor Society was a unique distinc- tion. Members were chosen ac- cording to their display of academic excellence, character, service and leadership. NHS was said to be the most ex- clusive and prestigious organization at MacArthur, yet the group had its share of difficulties. The organiza- tion was confronted with the fact that S500 or more of the club fund was to be donated to the school. Be- ing a strong service organization, NHS members worked very hard at fund raisers to accumulate the amount of money that was asked of them. Although some of the members seemed very concerned and dedicated, others looked upon Honor Society as a pastime. The fact that members had other sports or club obligations was taken into consideration. Ms. Janet King, sponsor, and officers spent long hours devoted to the small, but numerous, details that always had to be worked out. Coronation proved to be one of those cases. Coronation was the main event NHS sponsored. Being a member of NHS was truly a great privilege. Future members should make NHS everything it stands for, stated senior Anita Garner. l'm not myself until my first cup of coffee, state Ms. King. dps by lucy ching

MASH Notes ended the year debt free, a fact they were very proud of because it was the first time in several years the paper did not end the year in the red. Members successfully entered six academic competitions and brought home more ribbons than any former staff. LVZ S910u qsew
