National Honor Society ABOVE: MEMBERS: Karla Carter, Becky Plattner, Sara Blackburn, Brenda Weaver, Jennifer Castle, Lisa Kloeppel. For Malta Bend R-5 to be included in the National Honor Society Program it must be a state aproved school. To earn a membership in the NHS, a student is judged on his or her scholarship, leadership, character, service, and citizenship. Membership is not acquired by the student applying for it; it is an honor conferred upon students by the faculty in recognition of outstanding accomplishments in the areas considered for membership selection. There were several students who qualified in the area of scholarship and their names were sent to the teachers to be rated on in the other areas. After the teachers rated the students, they did not qualify for membership. It would not be right to lower the standards of the Society to allow some of the students to qualify for membership. Four students became members of the National Honor Society at the Induction Cer- emony in May; they are Jennifer Castle, Lisa Kloeppel, Brenda Weaver, and Karla Carter, pictured at right. Mr. Harold McCoy is sponsor of the Society. 28 ABOVE: Becky Plattner and Sara Blackburn, graduating seniors, are the outgoing members of the Society.
