The only requirements to be in this club are having a desire to make a positive contribution to the school environment and having an interest in Christian teaching and philosophy. During the year the Life Club met every week and for holidays they made Thanksgiving baskets and helped needy families at Christmas. The Life Club strives to promote high moral and ethical standards and love for fellow man as taught by Jesus Christ. n organization that is little known here at Norcross is Life Skills. Started by one of our school's counselors Ms. Drake. This is a group of special students who do peer counseling. After one quarter of a class with Ms. Drake where they learn to know themselves better, students go out to other schools. One class a day Life Skills members go to an area elementary school and talk with kids there. They also are there to listen when someone needs to talk. To be in Life Skills one must have at least a B Average and must be ac- cepted by Ms. Drake. 144 v.m.,a.,...,a..,, g,,M, Q M.. f I A 42 Y ,E , 4' ,gi 9 v fe af ai rf , 6 at 'Q Q Z E33 . 1 S X 4 ff if f , , aw, ef! .. x. f f ?f5Yt 5f ?'

lab A4 One of Norcross's more active organizations is National Honor Society, also known as NHS. Sponsored by Mrs. McDevitt, this club is made up of students who have an overall grade point average of 92 or above. The officers for this year were Richard Coblens - presidentg Susanna Espeland - vice-president, Diep Pham - treasurerg Lisa Bellafato - secretary. They worked very hard to make NHS a great contribution to Norcross life. This first major activity done by National Honor Society was American Education Week. In conjunction with the Beta club, they made announcements in homeroom, put up bulletin boards and had a Smart Booth. The week, in November, was a success. During Homecoming, NHS sold carnations, an annual tradition. The club members obtained carnations, pre-sold them to homerooms, and on the day of the game, delivered them. Other activities they participated in were collecting gifts for needy families at Christmas, and aiding a family in need during Thanks- giving. Some members also attended the Georgia Association of National Honor Societies Convention in the spring. A5
