Beta Creed Contains Basic Human Qualities Honesty, jusitce, service, cooperation, re- sponsibility, industriousness, humility and charity. This is the Beta creed that all Beta members follow. Beta is a national honorary organization. Membership is granted to those who wish to become members, have A's and B's on their report cards, and maintain a 3.0 average thereafter. Many students are inducted into Beta throughout the year, resulting in its being the largest club at Escambia. A banquet is held to induct second semester members and new officers. More students at Escambia High School are striving to improve their educational standards, states Dewayne Williams, president. I am very pleased with the enthusiasm of so many students interested in joining our chapter of the National Beta CIub. Beta stresses the importance of education. The senior members of Beta have the privilege of wearing blue and orange honor cords at gradua- tion. Other Beta members serve as ushers at the seniors' baccalaureate service. Service is another important part of Beta. Members participated in the NHS clothing drive and received second place recognition. During the Christmas season, Beta sponsored Toys-for-Tots to help the Marines collect toys for under- privileged children. Several students planned to travel to Orlando to attend the state convention in May. The Beta Club conventions are held as social-educational affairs.

In order to become an NHS member, so- phomores must have obtained a 3.8 average and juniors and seniors a 3.5 for all years prior to his present academic standing. To remain a member, however, all students must maintain a 3.0 average. Under the guidance of Miss Betty Sue Wrenn, sponsor, the 64 above-average NHS students serve both the school and the community. NHS activities include the Brain Brawl. which is an annual event similar to High School Bowl. Members are asked questions related to their studies and are expected to answer to the best of their abilities. Competition is a major aspect of this activity because the levels of competition range from the local to the district and finally to the state. The society sponsors the annual clothing drive. This year. 2,239 pounds were received from clubs and students. Members were also responsible for building clothing racks to hold that which was collected. Along with selling pennants, National Honor Society raises money by sponsoring the Junior Mister Contest. This contest is open to males who are judged on the basis of poise, appearance and talent. The money raised by these projects is used to finance the Robert Tuttle scholarship. A senior National Honor Society member who has generally given the most service is selected by fellow members to receive this award. Through membership in NHS, I have learned the responsibility and the importance of participa- tion, comments Rae Anne Harper. historian. Serving others through NHS has helped me to become a more mature citizen. First row: Sheri McCurley, Karen Kohanowich, Susan Gorman. Paige Norton. Tharp. Ann Gorday. Robin Myers. Elizabeth Radaj.
