NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Honors seek benevolence By Lisa Atturio Donating toys to the needy children and composing and distributing the Buff-lo- down are just a couple of the duties per- formed by the National Honor Society. This organization is based upon students with an overall B+ scholastic average and teacher's evaluation. Each year the proceeds from the Buff-lo-down, the student directory, go toward scholarships, service projects and a field trip. On their field trip, the group ventured to Commanche Peak, the site of the nuclear power plant. The group went to the Puluxi River and examined the fossilized dinosaur tracks. I like being a sponsor for the organiza- tion. The kids were good and we had good cooperation, Mrs. Delories Webb, commented. At the traditional spring initiation assembly in March, 36 juniors and seniors were formally pinned before parents, faculty and fellow students. Afterwards, the honorees and their guests were welcomed in- to NHS at a reception in the library. Officers were Wayne Trimble president, Gene Hensarling vice-president, Tracy Taylor secretary, Cary Stegall treasurer, and Barbara Alexander and Trina Gregory editors ofthe Buff-lo-down.
