M A S changes stereotype Members of the National Honor Society, usually labeled as eggheads, attempted to change that stereotype by being involved in service projects. Members helped with the Debate-Speech tournament by time keeping and later collected donations for the Heart Fund throughout the community. Accumulated knowledge of members proved helpful for those who needed tutors for a nominal price. With the money obtained from tutoring and from a car wash, the Society donated a trophy case to the school and bought the honor cords for the Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude graduates. Approximately one half of the 200 applicants were accepted into the Society. Teachers rated each applicant in the areas of leadership, scholarship, character and service. Although Pauli Koscloskey was the sponsor, the students made all the decisions concerning the Society. The officers included President Claire Webber, Vice President Brian Reagan, Secretary Fredrica Lake, and Treasurer David Capshavv. The Executive Board was responsible for representing the members and making equal decisions with the officers. The four representatives were Tony Ackerman, Neil Dorflinger, Barry Hart and Robin Parker. Approximately 60 juniors clad in suits and white dresses were accepted into the Society April 20, at the Spring induction. Chemistry teacher and NHS sponsor Pauli Koscloskey conducts a lab.
