' rains vs. ' rawn Honor societies provide academic incentive I think there is too much emphasis on sports and not enough emphasis on the student's scholastic achievements, judged Celeste Kroll. While Morton's extensive sports program flourished, individual excel- lence achieved through study seemed sorely neglected. The Senior Honor Society corrected this matter -by extending membership to students earning a grade point average of 3.25 or above. Membership enabled students to list their participation in the honor society on college applica- tions and thus increase their chances of acceptance. Senior Honor Society also sponsored a banquet commend- ing outstanding scholars. The presen- tation of awards for outstanding junior boy and girl completed the evening. Not to be outdone, Junior Honor Society contributed its part toward recognizing the scholar. Members distributed honor scroll cards each semester to congratulate every student whose name appeared on the gold or silver honor rolls. The honor societies' focus on individual achievement sought to prove that strong individuals are the backbone of a healthy society. lj With a strong knowledge of architecture, Andy Wierzbicki hopes to place in the IIT Drawing and Design Competition for talented drafting students. 23 PTO Parents' Night employs Senior Honor Society Guide Lisa Saran to direct visitors to classrooms. 35 At a fund-raising Junior Honor Society bake sale, Dori Mysicka, Katherine Lacina, and Carmella Avery aid a customer in choosing a delicacy. if '30 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - JUNIOR AND SENIOR HONOR SOCIETIES gifts-if -.gn 'Ft .
