H t || r ' X. s r 1 1 1 N.H.S. National Honor Society continued its work to promote scholarship at Longmeadow High. President Tina Millas was pleased by the large number of new members who were accepted in September. They joined the older members in N.H.S. activities around the school, which included a car wash and two induction teas. The tutoring program was very successful this year. It was popular and appreciated by both students and teachers, and it extended to tu- toring middle school students at night. N.H.S. members worked in the Lancer Bookstore and the History Department, where organizational help was needed. Advisors Mrs. Dolgin and Mrs. Dudley felt that the large membership in the club represented the continuing trend at L.H.S. toward scholastic achievement. 1.

Ains Bri haracter to LHS The A. B.C. program entered its third year at Longmeadow with new home sponsors. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, who were previously in charge of the A. B.C. house, moved to Vermont with their son. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, and fresh- man Eileen, were the new fam- ily of the A. B.C. students. Like last year, the individuals in the program became involved in many school and community functions, from Basketball and Class Council to National Honor Society. During an interview with Senior Greg Allison, he stated that L.H.S. let me be what I wanted to be. He learned that people are people regardless of race. Greg realized that others were expecting him to succeed in school, scholasti- cally, socially, and personally. When asked what he enjoyed most at L.H.S., Greg replied, Catching a touchdown pass in the East Longmeadow game. Many A. B.C. students find that the pressures are strong at Longmeadow and the competition is harder than at most other schools. There are demands that have to be fulfilled, and at times the students are placed in difficult situations, the learning, however, has been beneficial in the A. B.C. experience. 20

Chess I u b M a t h C I u b Chess Club is divided into two teams on the ba- sis of skill. The goal of the club was to capture the first place title, and to im- prove on playing skills. Donald Ladd was the advi- sor again this year. He aided the players and gave them guidance when needed. The purpose of Math Club is to investigate areas of math which are not normally discussed in math classes. Robert Alt- man was president, Peter Corey was vice president, Bob Hutchins was secre- tary, and Peter Kruc- zynski was treasurer. Oth- er members, along with advisor Mr. Greenwood, met often to work on problems or to use the computer. Seniors made up the core of the Math Team this year, under advisor Mr. Griffin. Mike Stein, Bruce Hochstadt, Ed Bet- tigole, Art Sibbach, Jim Medalie, and Bob Hutch- ins were key members who scored well during competition. Mike Stein was number one in the league, which was a re- markable achievement. Concentration and quick adaptibility to mathemat- ical concepts brought vic- tory for the team. M a Team h 22
