This data was in turn used to produce the monthly edition of the Willkie High newspaper, the Megaphone. 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

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

This speech has been heard many times by the students of Willkie High throughout the years of the Troupe’s existence at our school. The club's purpose is to promote the dramatic arts. Every year a series of plays are produced by different groups within the organization. In the spring the whole organization takes on the task of developing a production on a much larger scale. The club tries to keep its membership limited so as not to have too large a group. The membership now stands at approximately 50 students. A group of apprentices are selected every fall. To become a full-fledged Thespian, 10 points must be earned. Points may be acquired by acting in a play, directing a play, or by participation in a production through stage crews and make-up committees. This organization adds to the cultural part of our school society and is very much appreciated and we are proud to have such a group in our school. Thespian officers are: (1 to r) Judy Helpling, treasurer; Mr. Brown, sponsor; Terry Cook, vice-president; Ramsey Elkins, president; Duane Wittkamper, recorder; and Jeanne Drake, secretary. 26
