(face e£ieve c ut achieve y n May 15, 1985 current National Honor Society Members; Mrs. Anna Urick, the Honor Society sponsor; and families and friends gathered to watch the induction of the new Honor Society Members. To be a member of the Na- tional Honor Society you must be a junior or senior with a grade point average of 4.0 or better. This does not automatically make you a member. Selection is made by the faculty and is based on not only scholarship, but leader- ship, character, and service. Most people believe that to be a member of the society you must be a bookworm.” This is not true. Many members are ac- tive participants in sports, and are members of various clubs and groups. Looking anxious, the new Honor Society members wait to sign the registration. While Annette Marzocchi signs the registration, Clarissa Barkey and Dale Alexander watch to see how it is done. National Honor Society President, Portia Fultz is being inducted by Jimmy Jones. 18 Spring NHS

20 Spring Graduation “S ' lea itty t6e tcueCve ye vi Class of 1985 woke up early Sunday, June 9th, and was excited to see what was in store for them. This was their final day to be an active member of H.H.S. Everyone gathered in the gym to see the 99th graduating class end their high school careers and move on to bigger and better things. There were a few speakers and Miss Ennis wished the class good luck and bid them farewell. She also reminded them that they would always be true Wildcats. The salutatorian, Diane Ginther, gave a speech about her dream of a promised land. She talked about how nice it would be if everyone was at peace with each other. Tim Ventimiglia, Valedictorian, gave a speech about politics and succeeding in life. The band played Looks like we made it, and Vanessa Swanson sang, Love Lift us up Where we Belong. The class of 1985 received their diplomas and everyone went outside and took pictures so they could always remember this wonderful day. Waiting to be seated, Tim Ventimiglia was scared stiff. The 1985 graduates anx- iously wait for their diplomas.
