While keeping a close eye on her watch, Janer Foeller checks Lisa Carter's pulse during the fall blood drive. Again and again, Q 5 member Robin Saffley proof- reads copy for the Star Gazer. Classy Act “He's a very un- usual young man,” said Terry Proffirr, Student Activities Di- rector, when speak- ing about Eric WUIff. “He is intelligent, ar- riculare, interesting, humorous, and he speaks his mind,’ he continuec. Who can believe thar all these won- derful qualities belong to 5-foor 6-inch, brown- haired, hazel-eyed Eric Wulff. The members of NHS must have believed it because in early Sep- tember they elected him president. As presidenr, Eric tried to rekindle the spirit of NHS members through school activities. He also wanted mem- bers to receive more recognition from their peers. N.H.S. And Quill And Scroll 67

Quill G Scroll and NHS. want fo gain recognition The first thing thar ran through a student's mind when he found our thar he was se- lected for National Honor Society or The Quill Scroll Honorary Society was a feeling of A achievement. For a momenfr, all that hard worls, all those stories, and all thar time finally paid off. Quill Scroll and N.H.S. were very selec- five organizations which only the ‘cream of the crop” were invited fo join. In the case of the N.H.S. a single ‘no’ vote from any faculty member was enough fo disqualify a student from being considered. Qualifica- tions for N.H.S. included character, leader- ship, service, and scholarship. “'! was very honored when | was chosen as a sopho- more,” said Junior Janet Foeller. To qualify for Quill and Scroll a student must have been in the top 1 3 of the class, but have been on a publications staff for a minimum of 2 years, and must have made an oufr- standing contribution to the staff. Eric WUuIff, president of N.H.S., said ‘Even fhough we are an honorary organization, I'm trying to get more recognition in the school. We want to be more involved as an organization. We are planning a party for MN students this year. We are going fo rent out the Hucls Finn Riverboat and sell tickers sorta like a dance.” It’s true thar N.H.5. and Q@ S$ members did nor receive much recognition from their peers. On the other hand, it was important fo the members. It gives you self-confi- dence as a member and it also helos you if you are trying to get info another organiza- fion, committee, or job, ’ said N.H.5. Secre- tary Lisa Carter. ‘'We should be more in- volved in school activities, ’’ she continued. The qualifications for Q 5 and NHS. were demanding, bur when a student gor in, he knew thar all the hard worls paid off. “I know now that | haven't done all this for nothing,” said Q 5 member Sue Kopp. Only two people could be chosen fo participate in the N.H.S. Scholarship Contest. Terry Profit decided thar the fairest way to choose is to draw names from a box. 66 N.H.S. And Quill And Scroll Devoted newspaper co-editor, K.C. Lam works hard on a due dare.

Classy Act On Tuesday and eg Thursday afternoons, Sn “i while mosr students and faculty rested or played, Mrs. Jeanne Roman slipped into her tights and dance shoes. She fhen danced a few hours away with her dance group. Dancing with the assistance of an aerobic dance record, Mrs. Roman and her peers confirmed the value of exercise. Mrs. Roman lost 25 pounds, and she attributes thar loss to aerobics. Mrs. Roman thus serves as an example for both her peers and her students. Both groups could do worse than follow her lead and her classy steps. Keeping time to ‘MacArthur Parls,”’ Sue Barry and Kathy Dombrinkk concentrate on keeping it rogerher. together.
