Challenging their Spanish counterparts to a soccer game, the French Honor Society began the year with a burst of enthusiasm. Characteristic of organizations of its kind, the FHS had several major events during the year and very little other activity. At Christmas the group donated six pounds of spaghetti to the family dinner-dance, their time and talents to the evening entertainment. At Christmas the group donated six pounds of spaghetti to the family dinner-dance. In addition to school involvement, the French Honor Society had occasional parties, or soirees, to become better acqainted with each other. At an October soiree, induction ceremonies were held for the numerous new members. Composed of thirty outstanding Spanish students, the Spanish Honor Society was involved in a variety of activities. In the fall the SHS accepted a challenge to a soccer game with the French Honor Society, which they lost. Working in cooperatoon with the Spanish Club, they helped support an orphan as one of several joint projects. During the third quarter the Spanish Honor Society devoted one of their infrequent meetings to the induction of new members.

combine forces known as voodoo dolls. Keyetles held workshops prior to Homecoming Week and used assembly line technics in the production of 300 dolls. This activity proved very profitable for the Keyettes. Collecting for UNICEF during Halloween was another Key and Keyette accomplishment. Before collecting money, the clubs met at the Epithany Methodist Church for an informal dinner. In the past spaghetti was the main course, but the Keyettes agreed to try something new — chili. The food was delicious and dinner went smoothly. Following the dinner, the Keys and Keyettes divided into groups and collected money for UNICEF. The clubs ended a successful evening by collecting 200 dollars. Additional Key and Keyette activities included the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, a breakfast for teachers, and Teacher Appreciation Week. Both the clubs had separate identities, but the organizations functioned together effectively as a team.

J A Soccer fields honorable battle Participation in school activities ’and an outstanding scholastic record was the key combination for acceptance in 'he National Senior Honor Society. Acceptance into NHS was primarily a type of recognition for exceptional students, but members were determined to make NHS an active part of the school. First, a tutoring service was set up for students and members of NHS volunteered to tutor in the subjects of their speciality. NHS members tutored students during study halls, after school, and during the evening hours. There was a great demand for tutors and the service provided by the NHS was greatly appreciated by students and faculty alike. Monthly meetings for NHS were mandatory and at the meetings plans were made for social and fundraising activities. A few of the planned activities and projects included iceskating, an ac- tivity attended by six of the thirty-three members of NHS, and planning a play to raise money for charity. Encouraging and rewarding individual student achievement in journalism, Quill and Scroll recognized outstanding student contribution to school publications: Rank and File and Columbian. Frequently referred to as an Honor Society for Journalists, Quill and Scroll was not an active organization but members were kept busy meeting the deadlines of their respective staffs. Reporting, writing copy, typing, making and setting headlines, and creating layouts were just a few of the tasks that beset students around deadline time. Working and contributing individual journalistic talent to a school publication resulted in obtaining the honor membership in Quill and Scroll.
