10 Honor Society and Student Council Strive to Promote Understanding Individuals in Honor Society and Student Council aspired to head the student body by ex- ample and leadership. These organizations attempted to mo- tivate the faculty, students and community toward valuable, ge- nial relationships. Promoting good citizenship and encouraging harmony with- in the school for its welfare were the main objectives of the pro- gressive council. The group’s main achievements included composing and adopting a con- stitution, setting academic re- quirements for the honor roll, attempting to solve discipline problems and purchasing trash cans for the parking lot. Endeavoring to provide and maintain this forum for student opinion were president, Bill Hebbert; vice-president, Mike Hudson; secretary, Jann Moel- ler; treasurer, Mike Brost; and advisor, Mr. Eugene Campbell. The HHS chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society strove to encourage and develop the qualities of character, scholar- ship, leadership, and service, which the organization stands for. These students’ goal was to become alert, active individ- uals and leaders in their com- munity with sound minds and well rounded personalities. As guides for the parent- teacher conferences the Honor Society members helped to en- courage understanding and co- operation in education. Leading this honorary group were president, Bruce Coplen; vice-president, Bill Hebbert; secretary, Karen Messersmith; treasurer, Mike Yardley; parlia- mentarian, Mike Hudson; and sponsor, Mr. Lyle Fodnes.

We can learn about the development from past to future by examining the present. One of the important factors in the development and education of the individual is non-academic. “That man has had a liberal education, who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of;. .
