Perspicacious Pupils An invitation to become a member of the National Honor Society has always been an honor. This academically elite group has customarily opened its membership to juniors and seniors with a 3.5 or higher grade point average. They must also have demonstrated outstanding character, leadership, and service during their years at North High, and be approved by a teacher- administrator selection committee. New candidates are inducted in Oc- tober and February. During this initia- tion ceremony, the lighting of the candles occurs, symbolizing the four qualities valued in an NHS candidate - scholarship, service, leadership, and character. North's NHS during 1981-82 was led by President Ed Garner, Vice-President Belinda Takach, Secretary Lynn Pepkowski, Treasurer janet Collins, and Sergeant-at-Arms Lisa Finley. Mrs. Carol Pim and Mr. Walter Skiff served as chapter advisers.

They have shown their individual acuity by vying for district positions on the Brain Brawl team. Yearly, this team has represented all high schools in our area who compete against other in- tellectual giants throughout the state at the spring convention. The members have also engaged in social endeavors for either fun or profit. Skating parties, bake sales on teacher duty days, and french fry sales during Homecoming have proved that even the main brains can have fun while being spirited Red Knights. Service to the community has been a developing trait of NHS. Yearly there have been parties at the children's home and Lee Memorial Hospital. This year's Christmas project was the collection and donation of toys and games to the Salvation Army. North High's NHS members pos- sessed not only brains but also deter- mination and dedication. They believed and lived the old adage, 'Knowledge Is Power. .4 .,.-. -... . .YL

Do you wish to be an active member in our class and would like to help get things accomplish- ed, but you don't know who to turn to? Do you want the opportunity to enjoy yourself while learning about foreign cultures? Perhaps you should join one of the man clubs and organizations active here at North Higff. With the variety of groups there should be at least one to spark your interest. Most clubs and organizations meet after school or in the early evening, but some utilize our monthly activity period so students who have limited transportation can also participate. On any given day, long after the final bell has rung, N orth's hallways are still filled with the commotion coming from the supposedly abandoned classrooms that have been converted into clubhouses Iwithout the treesj. The following ages are packed with the pride that fills our school, and on these ages our students are making their dedication obvious they are letting their PRIDE show. O g nizationsf 4

'Z-'S' 3 Members of the Press For the many North High students who have developed outstanding journalistic skills during the countless hours spent producing North's student publications, Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Iour- nalists, was reactivated on cam- pus this past year. Iunior and senior students who had corn- pleted a semester of work in the production of the school's year- book, newspaper, or literary magazine, ranked in the upper third of their class scholastical- ly, and were recommended by the publication sponsor, were invited to become members. Twelve students accepted this initial invitation and were in- itiated during a ceremony on Ianuary 27. A second series of invitations were extended in March, with a second initiation held in April. During this initial year North's chapter dealt primarily with organizational matters, membership growth, and the recruitment of in- terested students to the various staffs for next year. Officers for Quill and Scroll were Co-Chairmen Manley Ia- quiss and Dusty Boyd and Secretary Terri Cochran. Ad- visers were Mrs. Virginia Bran- son, Mrs. Martha Richardson, and Mr. Allen Caraway. Stressing the importance of improving their individual publications while encouraging and recognizing the individual achievements of students engaged in journalistic activity, the Quill and Scroll has been an important addition to North's honorary organizations.
