Louise Adams, Kelly Park, and Cara Warburton begin to decorate the senior hall for the last game But- tons, crepe paper, and posters make a colorful sight. Despite a desperation drive by the senior class to buy hundreds of links for the spirit chain, the sopho- mores held on to take first place dur- ing Spirit Week sponsored by Student Council October 27-31 before the Jackson game. By Friday the sophomores had pur- chased 1061 of the 5:1 links, the seniors had a close 964g and the ju- niors lagged with only 648. Tuesday was crazy hat and tie day, Wednesday sweats and sunglasses, Thursday orange and black with but- tons and ribbons, and Friday was dress up day. Points were awarded rooms for participation and added into the final scores. 2240 points brought a victory for the sophs. The highlight of the pep rally on Friday was the senior skit. The senior girls portrayed some of the more llmemorable moments of the foot- ball season. After the skit, the winner of the l'Baby Face award, junior Mark War- burton, was announced. lunior class officers got pies in their faces for losing Spirit Week.

Students Take Honors National Honor Society inducted members in March. The candlelight ceremony attended by students, par- ents, and faculty was planned by the society's officers. Eligibility is determined by scholar- ship, leadership, character and service. Students nominate themselves with grade averages of 88 for seniors and 92 for juniors. Then the faculty voted and faculty committees completed the selection process. NHS officers also planed the annual sophomore orientation held each Au- gust. National Honor Society officers are lennifer Lindamood, Scott Ovvens, and Terry Brophey. Doug Peifer, Alan Miller, and Steve Barrett are the National Merit Semi-Finalists. Those who re- ceived letters of commendation are Scott Kopp, Dave Ebinger, Bob Shemenski, Terry Brophey, Sharon Busey, Lohni Kelln and Robert Spratt. l 3 l 3 Nei F ' . ualifing for the National Merit Semi-finals is a difficult task. First one must take the PSATXNMSQT test at Hoover the third week in October. If one scores in the top half of one percent in Ohio, he or she will be eli- gible for the scholarship competition. Those who score in the top five percent receive letters of commenda- tion. All the semi-finalists had their names published in a book that was sent to every college in the country. This book constituted a 'lwanted list for most colleges. Three to 6 Hoover stu- dents usually qualify with another half dozen being commended scholars. Of the million who take the test only 15,000 make it to the semifinals. i
