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
