'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. The en- tire North family extends a warm welcome to our newest group' Organizations f 47

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. The major aim of National Honor Society members has been to promote , I 1 - james Lee gets inducted into NHS as veteran Denise Morgan looks on. 2 - Filling the Christmas box with gifts for needy children is NHS member Lynn Pepkowski. . 3 - Lynn Pepkowski, Phil Baker, and Richard Frank await the new inductees' entrance . 4 - National Honor Society: Sitting - Pam Hagie, Denise Morgan, Kim Kirby, Lynn Pepkowski, Lisanne Banta, Phaladya Dean, Ieri Cunningham, Kathy Kubesh, janet Collins, Lisa Finley, Tara Maxey, Belinda Takach.

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

Innovative Interpreters North's Forensics Club is an organiza- tion that encourages its members to par- ticipate in scholastic speech competition. It is a club for students who know or want to learn how to use their voices to convey emotions, to inform, to persuade, or to entertain and wish to have their proficien- cies in these skills judged. Speech competitions, either in in- dividual or group categories, were available at the various forensic tour- naments held within the district and state. Under the experienced and creative eye of Mrs. Suzanne lager, Forensics Sponsor, many hours were spent choosing, practic- ing, and perfecting the needed skills in ex- temporary or interpretive speech. In February, North High's Forensic Club hosted a district speech competition. Twenty-eight schools from Southwest Florida met to compete in the categories of debate, extemporary oratory, oratory, dramatic interpretation, humorous inter- pretation, congress, and group interpreta- tion. Parish Hill took lst place in humorous interpretation at district and state. Forensics was a fantastically fun-filled learning experience for individuals, but it was hard work. Many hours of research and practice went into every piece before the contestant was ready to step into the spotlight of competition and be judged. xx is... -.,,, vu, 2 1 - Practicing her humorous interpretation selection before the February competition is Tammy Saucier. 2 - A moment of seriousness for Iohn Prickett as he per- forms. 3 - Scarlett Edge, Stephanie Iuba, and Casey Hanger seem to be throwing it, but Iohn Preuss and Iohn Panio certainly don't want to catch it, as they practice their group interpretation. 4 - Forensics QL to Rl: Row 1 - Iohn Prickett, Parrish Hill, Ioe Fortini, Ray Garner, Todd Spurlin, Iohn Panio, Mark Arlington, Ed Garner, Iohn Preuss.
