( Motor skills weren ' t required just a lot of Thought Process T he major highlight of the season was having two first year speech team members place as alternates in this year’s sectional,” stated Mr. Gene Rajchel, speech team sponsor. He also explained that the team competition gave members confidence when performing in regular class ac- tivities. A speech team is necessary in a small school because it offers an opportunity to be part of a team. “The speech team was agood learning experience and it helped show me my abilities. I would encourage others to join,” said Andy Wittgren. While the speech team was busy building confidence, the chess club “helped secure recognition and build self-esteem for non-athletic students,” according to Mr. Dan Metcalf, chess sponsor. He added the second place finish at the Hebron Invita- tional was the brightest spot in the season.

If you were, the National Honor Society and Student Council were the perfect organiza- tions to join. “The National Honor Society is an organization designed to ‘honor’ a select group of students who have demonstrated their desire and ability to succeed academically and socially,” commented Mr. Jack Granger, NHS sponsor. The Thanksgiving food drive demonstrated their I ability to succeed socially. “Many people’s lives were made a bit more comfortable j through the efforts of all the Hanover students,” said Mr. Granger. Their efforts brought more than 7,000 J canned goods and many hams and turkeys. Getting students involved and showing their spirit was one way the Student Council showed leadership. Student Council is trying to j get away from having | representatives selected by ! popularity, but rather, students who will do the most I constructively for their class,” said Miss Tara Jorgensen, sponsor. “Members have tried to ob- jectively represent their respective classes.” The council sponsored several activities, which in- cluded Homecoming and spirit week. Members always j worked to improve traditional activities, as well as new j ones. V ▲ Going once, going twice,” . . .
