SENIOR HONOR STUDENTS oct as guides at the two parent- teacher conferences. JOYCE KIESTER ACCEPTS the Honor Society membership card from sponsor, Mr. Lyle Fodnes. NHS Shows Ability The main purpose of a high school is to de- velop the mind and the character of each student and to thus stimulate his mental and moral qualities. But intellectual accomplishment shown by high grades is not enough ... and to be considered popular'' is not sufficient proof of character. A stu- dent's intellectual ability must be expressed in terms of service, and his character in forms of leadership. These are the qualities of each member of the Na- tional Honor Society— character, scholarship, leader- ship, and service. This organization thus serves as a measure of these qualities. Those students belonging to NHS are 1 1 seniors, with 7 junior members, and 5 sophomore probationary members. Mr. Andrew Chis- mar served as its sponsor for one semester, with Mr. Lyle Fodnes taking over when he left. EACH YEAR AT an all school convocation, honor students select the members of the sophomore class who will be probationary mem- bers. 11 67-68 NHS OFFICERS shown below include Doris Wood, president; Gail Hudson, vice-president; and Dixie Frost, secretary-treasurer.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS reolize thot leading this organization is not always an easy task. Council Coordinates Activities The student government of every high school is its student council. The function of this organization is to coordinate stu- dent affairs and activities. Activities have run quite smoothly at HHS for the past few years making the responsibilities of the council quite simple. Council members are charged with repre- senting the students at the Bobcat Dens, including the setting up of rules which, when enforced, provide disciplinary action. Their major projects are to send get well wishes to students confined to the hospital, and to honor graduating mem- bers of the National Honor Society. Leading the Student Council in the 67-68 school year were president, Brad Rosen- berger; vice-president, Larry Zajic; secre- tary, Gail Hudson; and Joyce Kiester in charge of public relations. Representatives from the classes include: Seniors —Joyce Kiester, Gary Zajic, and Gail Hudson. Ju- niors—Kathi Robison, Bob Delsing, and Sylvia Klemke. Sophomores—Karen Mes- sersmith, Mike Yardley, and Bruce Coplen. Freshmen— Janice Moeller, Chuck Messer- smith, and Tony Weare.
