to Honor and Responsibility The National Honor Society Officers for this year were: Ron Gentry, vice president; Margene Harris, president; Mrs. Morehouse, sponsor; Betty Stahla, secretary-treasurer; and Dona Baltensperger, chaplain. Character. Scholarship. Leadership, and Service, form the foundation of the highest honor organization in school. The faculty selects students for membership in National Honor Society whom they feel excel in these four traits. Many students aim their high school years toward this end. This year the Longhorn Chapter of the NHS undertook many interesting new projects. Members of NHS were on hand to help at Parent-Teacher conferences. The honor students sold apples on Wednesdays after school throughout the year. A monthly radio program was presented by National Honor Society members. In April, NHS members installed a new NHS Chapter in Pine Bluffs. (UPPER RIGHT) Students purchase apples from Dona Baltensperger, Mar-gene Harris, and Galene Houghtaling on a Wednesday after school.

Promotes Projects Student Council members collect pop bottles for the AFS pop-bottle drive. Three representatives from each class plus the officers were the only representatives in the new organization of the Student Council. Even though the number of members was reduced, the Student Council - under the direction of Mr. Morehouse, sponsor; Bill Mueller, president; Larry Webb, vice-president; and Bernadine Gehrke, secretary-treasurer - undertook many new and beneficial projects. Two pop-bottle drives helped to raise money which was later donated to help support the American Field Service Foreign Exchange Program. The Annual Student Council Dance was held on December 22 with the theme. The Night Before Christmas. During the last part of the school year, students were seen going to the library on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to buy the paper-back books. A Book Fair, held April 17, climaxed the project. One of the last projects of the Student Council was Orientation Day on April 24. The Student Council escorted the eighth graders on a tour through the high school building to acquaint them with high school life. Secretary-Treasurer Bernadine Gehrke, President Bill Mueller, Adviser Mr. Morehouse, and Vice-President Larry Webb head the Student Council. 27
