Snowballers stressed importance of people, NHS stressed academics IFFERENT AWARENESS I hese people are hugging each I other! ’ ’ ‘ ‘What am I doing here?” “I don ' t belong here!” These thoughts went through Mr. Robert Krol ' s mind when he attended his first Snowball meeting. Mr. Krol and Ed Kubiak attended the first Snowball meeting where they were chosen to be staff members. Only 1 1 Hanover students participated in Snowball at Egars Junior High School a year ago. But the numbers have doubled and the program has expanded. During the four-day stay, Snowball programs focused on large group sessions and mini-workshops on teen problems. When I attended the first Snowball meeting, I felt really out of place,” Mr. Krol said. “Then I discovered it was a neat experience. This year I was co-director and four Hanover students were staff members. This program allows adults to communicate with kids on the same level, I only wish more teachers would get involved.” Personal and academic awareness from Snowball and National Honor Society were the threads that linked the groups to each other.

Being president takes a lot of time and persistence to keep things running smoothly. It ' s tough to do so much, but I look forward to the rewards it will bring, said co-president Millie Willy, junior. Having co-presidents allows us to represent a wider range of students. But after all the ruckus and problems, the personal fulfillment you get from things like the blood drive helps you handle everything else, said junior Dan Barney, co-president. It’s tough to do so much, but I look forward to the rewards it will bring. — Millie Willy STUDENT COUNCIL members, (front): Jim Tustison, Jessica Sasseville, Sue LaVelle, Tim Smith, Deanne Mickey, Julie Weightman, Melissa Beck, Julie Wicker, Dan Beck, and Chrissy Baton.

National Honor Society retffled Holiday Star tickets, raising $100 for scholeuships. Mr. Bill Lueder was the winner. While people who were involved with Snowball developed a personal awareness, juniors and seniors who were inducted into National Honor Society emphasized their awareness of academic excellence. We hope to continue to stress the importance of study and application to school work and academic success. We would like to increase our membership but until more students excel, this will be difficult,” Mr. Jack Granger said. “I sponsor NHS because it was challenging for me to work with highly talented and motivated students. It was also personally rewarding to see them succeed in their endeavors.” NHS ideals included leadership, scholarship, service, character and being an inspiration to others. To qualify, the student had to be a junior or senior and have a 3.4 GPA. A faculty council consisting of five members made the final selections. Activities included the Thanksgiving food drive and the Senior-Faculty Basketball game. Also, they did the courtyard landscaping and maintenance. It was personally rewarding to see them succeed in their endeavors. — Mr. Jack Granger NHS Sponsor
