NHS recognizes students The National Honor Society recognizes high chool students who demonstrate a high degree nf character, service, leadership, and scholarship. uniors who have maintained a 3.2 scholastic aver- uge may apply for consideration, a 3.0 average required in the senior year. Teachers assess the candidates whom they know and may select TOM f the Juniors and 5? of the Seniors. NHS expends a great deal of time and effort n the preparation of the ceremony. Four old mem- oers must be selected to speak on the qualifica- tions for membership. Flowers must be purchased, invitations to parents must be sent, the student- parent tea must be arranged. On the day of the induction, parents are seated in May induction ceremony on the floor of the gymnasium, while old members of NHS appear in the traditional maroon robes to usher and participate in the ceremony. As the his- torian reads the list of new members, these stu- dents stand in the bleachers to recognize the honor. After repeating the NHS oath on the gym floor, they receive their certificates of merit from Mr. Wagner. Although NHS is primarily honorary in nature, its induction ceremony is not the only undertaking. The semiformal Valentine's dance in February is sponsored by the society. In addition, NHS has established a tutoring service. Many students ex- periencing dilficulties in their studies have received help from NHS tutors, particularly in mathematics. 'ooking regally upon the proceedings as old NHS members, Simpson, Claudia Owen, speaker on characters and Jim Lyneis, Eue Harrington, speaker on serviceg moderator-president Dave speaker on scholarship, sit upon the platform- Ielebrating their induction into the National Honor Society, meet in the Maple Room immediately after the ceremony to Aary Steere, Pat Smith, Margaret Honnold, and Claudia Horn fraternize with other new members.

Ski Club likes weather on snow covered hills Ski Club organizes itself in November, just in time for the first snow fall. The only chance many members have to ski is on Wednesday evenings when the group goes to the Pine Knob ski resort. The club, appropriately named Schuss- Tnasters, is one of the largest organizations in Seaholm with approximately 300 mem- bers. Mr. Grothe and Mr. Van Remortel serve as advisers. They made all arrange- ments this year since there were no elected officers. For those iobs which had to be done, responsible students were chosen by the advisers. ln addition to the weekly trips near Birmingham, Ski Club also spent several weekends in northern Michigan during the height of the season. This year, the club began their excursions in the Caberfae Ski Area, near Cadillac. On later weekends, they went farther north to Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain and to Sugar Loaf Ski Resort. Although there are more slopes at Caberfae, Boyne Mountain presented a greater challenge to the better skiers. Weekend trips give Janet Wagner, Abby Knowlton, and Jody Pingel a chance to perfect skiing techniques. Hex e Q Pam Mitchell and Sharon Tanury find this ski trail more of a challenge than either ot them had anticipated. 'ws' Pausing tor a moment after a tiring day on the slopes at Boyne Highlands are Pam Mitchell, Beth Mahan, and Chuck Abbonizio. seize , E .nsfr , s illii ' P an r.. , rrsrla l ,, 5 '1,, rf Q F - ' e.
