Club Is in Action Again The National Junior Honor Society, under the guiding influence of Gladys Lehman, is composed of those students of this year’s sophomore class who have attained the highest standards of scholastic achievement, citizenship, and general school participation. The National Junior Honor Society, a branch of the National Honor Society of Ionia High School, was formed to give recognition to these deserving students with the hope that its membership will increase. In addition, since the scholastic abilities of high school students is often forgotten in the mass of sports and activities it enables us to instill work by all students toward higher levels of scholastic achievement. Officers in the club this year were president, Karla Laarman, vice president Dan Palmer, secretary, Chris Rendall, treasurer, Charles Hofbauer, and student council representative, Dorothy Piercefield. 29

Honor Society Takes Strides Forward Honor Society members Kris Reis and Sandy Horrocks show the variety of books offered at the book store to Evan Mac-Farlane and Don Hemingsen. The National Honor Society completed its sixth year of service. This year Mrs. Gladys Lehman has served as advisor. Officers include president, Terry Johnson; vice president, Bob North; secretary, Cheryl Edwards; treasurer, Linda Kruger; and student council representative, Anne Kopchick. Operating the bookstore was a major activity of the club. The bookstore was open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Members supervised the sale of books in their free time. A wide variety of literature was offered at the bookstore this year, ranging from the popular “Peanuts” series to many classics. The club also participated in supervising a noon-hour study room. For the first time the club presented a fifty dollar scholarship to one of its members. A goal achieved by the National Honor Society was the re-establishment of the National Junior Honor Society. A banquet was given by the National Honor Society on December 12, 1967. New members were initiated at this banquet. Qualifications sought in members of the National Honor Society are character, citizenship, leadership, service, and a 3.00 scholastic average. Front Row: L. Kreugar. C. Edwards, A. Kopchick. T.

Girls Compete Fiercely in GAA Sports Girls seeking lively physical activity and a good time gather in the gym Thursday nights from 3:30 to 4:45. Sports such as volleyball, softball, basketball, bowling and gymnastics occupy the time of the girls. Teams are formed and tournaments are played. Each spring the girls invite their mothers to come to Mother-Daughter Night. Many mothers amaze themselves as well as their daughters by their surprising skill, but all have a good time. Leading the club this year as president is Carol Heppe. Other officers are: vice president, Sue Travis; secretary, Chris Reynolds; treasurer, Laurie Tupper; student council representative, Ruth Heppe. Faculty advisor is Miss Kay Arnson, who helps the girls and also participates. Catch it! Carrol and Ruth Heppe enjoy playing basketball, one of the many sports offered by GAA.
