Scholarship, Leadershi Scholarship, leadership, service, and character are all important to be successful in lifeg they are also important in determining who will be in- ducted into the National Honor Society. Selection is made not only on scholarship as in past years, but also on each persons leadership, ser- vice and character, both at school and in the community. The major activity of the Honor Society was once again the Food Drive. All the students and teachers were asked to bring canned foods. The Honor Society gathered the food and took it to a needy family, so that they would have a nice holiday meal. The year began by se- lecting and inducting forty new members. The induction ceremony was held Novem- ber 1, in the auditorium. Several present members spoke on the importance of the NHS, and afterward a reception was held in honor of the new members. For most students to speak in front of a large group such as the NHS induction it takes practice and stuttering and stammering. To help students be more at ease when speaking they are of- fered the chance to take Speech. This class helps students relax and speak clearly when making a presentation or giving a speech. Clair Taylor, a member of the Speech Club commented, The field that I plan to go into will have a lot of speaking opportunities. Speech has taught me to be able to stand before a group and make a presentation without being nervous or uptight. P .t 'V Gu A V gr, 5 A, 'A , inc -I.: ' Q l remember when . . .

Add, Subtract Cook and Pla North Mesquite has activities to appeal to varied interests. For the intellectually curious, there is the Math and Science Clubs. For the more laid back, casual student, there is the Woods and Water Club. The Math Club went to meets competing in Number Sense, which is mental math, Calculator, and other math categories. They have attended meets at Austin College and also Dangerfield. The Science Club went on several field trips to broaden the knowledge of the world I of science. They Traveled to Glenrose to visit the Commanche Peak Nuclear Fleactor and the Glenrose Dinosaur tracks. They were taken in style in a Dallas city bus. Glenn Phillips commented, I was so shocked to have comfortable transportation. I wonder who paid for it? While exploring the dinosaur tracks, the Science Club decided to A'research the water in the river. Although their purpose was strictly scientific, their activities looked more like a swimming party. Even though their purpose I is strictly unscientific, the Woods and Water Club, or Outdoor Ed, has learned to really enjoy exploring the great outdoors. Many students, especially seniors, like to take Outdoor Ed to get away from the ordinary class set-up. The students play games like horse-shoes, washers, and have cook-outs on Fridays. The purpose of Outdoor Ed is to learn to enjoy being outside and appreciate nature. Pam Hubner, senior, said, I think it's a super class to take. The thing I enjoyed the most was the cook outs. about I I I Together we stand. Cindy Davis, The msn with the dark sunglasses.
