Membership in the National Honor Society is an honor reserved for only those seniors and juniors who have shown a serious interest in their studies as well as in extracurricular activities and are also able to maintain a B or higher average. These students are selected as probationary members by certain members of the faculty. Seniors, at the close of the school year, who have lived up to the given qualifications, are then installed as permanent members. To be selected for membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor a student can receive in Willkie High and the students chosen must show that they have established well-rounded characters and must exert an eagerness and willingness to work. Those selected must also act as leaders of their class and of the school--not as followers. All in all, the members of the National Honor Society are very proud of their attainment and they have every reason to be so. Officers of the National Honor Society this year are: Donita Shepard, vice-president; Hal Julius, president; and Theresa Hicks, secretary. 24

Record Events for ’66 Crescent This has been a very busy year for the 1966 Crescent staff, co-editors, and section editors . They have spent many many endless hours planning ladder diagrams, cropping pictures, and finally--meeting deadlines. Many students fail to realize the work involved in composing this piece of literary work which really serves as three books in one--a memory book to the students, a reference book for faculty and administrators, and an accredited accomplishment for staff members. With their resolution of changes and ideas unlimited, Susie Pearson and Jane Cornelious spent two very busy weeks during this past summer attending the Jour- nalism Institute at Indiana University. At Indiana University they learned the fundamentals used to produce an authoritative and entertaining yearbook. A person who deserves unlimited credit is our sponsor, Mrs. Hilda Chapman. Mrs . Chapman has unrelentingly given her time and effort--not to mention her patience--to help anyone and everyone. A yearbook is the result of the efforts and talents of many people for the pleasure of others. Working to make this yearbook the best ever has been a very worthwhile experience for the entire staff, who gave their free time and lunch hours to produce for you the 1966 Crescent. Co-editors Susie Pearson and Jane Cornelious work diligently to meet the hectic deadlines. 23

The primary pur- pose of the Megaphone is to present to the student body a written account of school happenings. The Megaphone's first semester co-editorswere Linda Oliver and Steve Poole. Second semester Linda took over with full stewardship. Megaphone editors, Linda Oliver and Steve Poole, strive to meet the expectations of Willkie students. 25
