flaw fi'- ff 1. Q 2 S Q he Governor's Honors program is a 6 week ex travaganza that takes place during the summer. The very bes students in the state gather at two locations, one in Valdostl and one in Dahlonega. The selection process begins in the fall when teachers at Nor cross nominate students in all areas: Music, English, Math Science, Art, etc. These nominated students go through a testing process in their specific area. If they pass the testing they go on to the semi-finals. In this step, the students go to Lawrencville to a local inter view. If they get by this interview then they advance to the finals The final interview consists of all of the finalists in the state Once past this audition, the fun begins. Governor's Honors participants go to either North Georgia College or Valdosta State College in July. They spend six week working hard, but having fun. All areas of study have a larg project that they do over the summer. Elizabeth Kreiner, a Senior at NHS, attended GHP last summer and said, lt was l very unique time, a real learning experience. Almost all Gover nor's Honors students enjoy themselves and call the summe well-spent. zzzzzz! Tap! Tap! Zzzzzz! These are the sounds coming from the shop.

he Future Homemakers of America was co- sponsored by Ms. Sue Dozier and Mrs. Sally Weatherford. They taught the members of the club in a great variety of classes. From sewing to cooking, each member of the club had a different interest in Home Economics. The purpose of FHA is to develop leadership and service for the school and community. For the past few years, FHA has adopted a grandmother in the Norcross area. Once or twice a month, five or six members go to see her. While there, they talk to her, listen to her many stories of her life, and take food to her. The members enjoy doing this because they get a feeling of helping someone with a lone- ly heart. Besides visiting their grandmother, they also go to different Day Care Centers in the area to have some par- ties for the kids. FY A10 A11 1. 1982-83 FB LA officers. 2.
