Making the Grade: N The National Honor Society, also known as the NHS, was a club that recognized the out- standing academic achieve- ments of its members. To be eligible to join the NHS as a sophomore, students must have had a perfect 5.0 grade point average. As a ju- nior, a 4.8 average was needed, and as a senior, a 4.5 grade point average was needed. There were thirty-one mem- bers, who represented the top 592 of the school. This year's officers were Rod Schanefelt, president: Krista Cummins, vice presidentg Kellie Cokley. Secretary, and Jeff Sprandel, treasurer. The three main NHS func- tions were the induction in early spring, a picnic at the end of the year, and an annual dinner at which they roasted the teach- er of the year. Another activity associated with NHS was the Academic Bowl team. This team, with eleven members, competed in four meets. These meets were held at Hillsboro, Quincy, Richland. and Millikin. As. Mrs. Heiden explained it, ln Illinois, more and more empha- sis is being put on academic contests. The Academic Bowl team helps Eisenhower to earn g,,,. Mi.. l. av .---x recognition of its academic quality. The seal of the NHS was a flaming torch over the letters CSLS. The flaming torch was the symbol of the purpose ofthe organization-to keep burning at Eisenhower a high ambition for the values of life, and to serve in consideration of others. The letters CSLS stood for Character, Scholarship, Lead- ership, and Service. The advisors for NHS were Mrs. Julia Heiden and Mrs. Mary Cussins. - Todd Gille- spie THORA AND PAUL work together to bone up on their reading. :wr nn I 9 - Y Fl.
