High Achievers Honored Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest achievements a high school Junior or Senior can attain. To be selected, students must have a 3.30 grade point average and maintain it throughout their final year of high school. In addition, the students must be evaluated by the faculty in three areas; citizenship, leadership, and service. To get in, one must go through the Initiation activities. Members are also expected to participate in other activities such as the Marathon Dance, which is held to support the Ronald McDonald House. All the qualifications must be maintained or the student is removed from the society. This years officers were President Sheri Cusack, Vice- President Michelle Reisbig, Secretary-Treasurer Chris Sutter, and Student Council Representative Michelle Nevins. The advisors were Mrs. Deb Hagen and Miss Michelle Goodwin. i. 2. 28 NHS

Council Has Many New Ideas The Student Council dabbled in creativeness this year. They started the year with homecoming week, as they organized all the activities throughout the week. The student Council moved the Homecoming Dance to the Elks Ballroom for the first time. Mrs. Powell, Student Council Advisor added, The Homecoming Dance was a smash. The Annual Bonfire was held before the Homecoming Game. The council held a winter carnival at Bertha Brock Park in January. Another new idea was the semi-formal Valentines Dance held February 14th in the gym. Another activity this year was the bond issue in which the student council helped out a lot. The passage of the bond issue was one of the high points of the school year. Sophomore Steve Pearson was chosen as the I.H.S. recipient of the Hugh O'Brien Award. He attended a seminar in the Spring. The following met monthly with Dr. Hagerty: Tammy Davis, Jack Powell, Sheri Cusack, Tom Droste, Cindy Cusack, • Steve Pearson, and Shawna Hood. The students had a definite major part on the building and equipment going into the new Senior High School. Student Council President Tammy Davis added, I think the student council had a successful year in planning so many new activities. Advising the student council was again Jan Powell and the officers were: President, Tammy Davis; V. Pres., Sheri Cusack; Sec. Leslie Adams; Treas., Chris Sutter; Corresponding Secretary, Becky Bowne; and Historian, Julie Powers. 30 Student Council 3.
