NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Too often mem- bers of Honor Soci- ety are classified as bookworms ' brown-nosers ' and snobs. But that's not the way it is. Largely members have other activi- ties, such as track, band, basketball, soccer, and choir. These activities are in addition to the tough classes preva- lent in the member s schedule. Many times members are ashamed to admit to belonging to Honor Society because it's not cool to be smart or get good grades. The truth is Honor Society is a privilege for a cho- sen few. In a school of almost 1,000 one would think there would be more than 50 students that have a g.p.a. of 3.50 or above. The Mazama Hon- or Society has not been very active in the past; therefore, it has not been too visible. Yet the ac- tivities the Honor Society does do are quite important. Many students don't realize that mem- bers of Honor Soci- ety are at every par- ent function giving directions and an- swering questions. Honor Society also gives away two $100 scholarships per year. Honor Society is a worthwhile activity for those who make it so. Admittedly there has not been much action but part of that has been due to the despon- dency of members and lack of committ- ment. The way Hon- or Society is set up is to give students a goal to strive for. People should be able to look upon Honor Society as what it is, an hon- or. Honor Society has helped me to be- come a better lead- er. by Christian Rei- ten HONOR SOCIETY MEMBERS- Front: Jenny Payne, Jill Wagner, Christian Reiten, Carol O'Brien, Brian Kozeliski, Bill Bridges, Miles Wiltrout, Scott Neel. 2nd Row: Qia Clinton, Michelle Turner, Tammy Burk, Hoang Nguyen, Mike Hereyford, Jeana Cox, Christina Sanches, Michelle Argetsinger. 3rd Row: Mike Sreniawski, Leah McGuire, Wanda Webber, Cindi Faulkner, Kristin Shimek, Patty Mitchell, Jenny Zelnar, Stacy Boyd, Brandi Maxwell, Alyson Clement. 4th Row: Chris Foeller, Jennifer McGee, Kori Kizer, Amanda Booth, Julia Ondricek, Leilani Ivins. 5th Row: Trent Glick, Jeniene Zumbo, Brad Sorenson, Greg Stucky, Penne Gibbs, Kris Beck, Kim Sorensen, Michele Pinner. 6th Row: Jeen Clemitson, Megan Nelson, Steve Hamblin, Sharon O'Brien, Connie Becker, Roxanne Shea, Christi Bruner, Wendy Yahn, Valerie Hanna. 7th Row: Robert Hall, Aaron Hubler, Seth Miller, Nathan Kruse, Mike Allison, Ray Noble, Jason Rhinevault, Russ Earnest, Brian Engel.

AI Clubs such as Foreign Language, Math, S.A.D.D., V1CA, and Students for Students are designed to help the high school stu- dent survive the factors of education. It helps students with the present and helps them prepare for the future. Ser- vice clubs such as Key Club teach stu- dents to be good community citizens while life-long and job skills such as lead- ership can be learned in VICA and FBLA. Firing up the minds of students are the spark-catching clubs of today's tomor- row.

During the initiation ceremonies for new Honor Soci- ety members, the officers served cake to the new members and their families. I think next year there should be more com- munity projects that the whole group can be involved in and more fun activities, too ' - Senior Michelle Turner. wm|M| Honor Society - 137
