Mallett I Q -Q N054 5 Club members learn about health careers. as a profession in the medical field ever crossed your mind? If so then the HOSA club was for you. It was made up of students interested in a medical profession. In order to learn more about their future profession, the club attended several conventions. These trips included a tour of the health department and the state convention in Raleigh. The club also hosted the Region Vl HOSA competitive events here at the school March 4. This year the club has taken an active role in helping their school and community. Their many ac- tivities have shown their concern through such activities as spon- soring a blood drive in the school's gymnasium and held health screening for the entire student body. They also had a booth at the mall during vocational week, took treats to the children in pedi- atrics and helped the health de- partment core group by giving phone numbers to teens in the school, of people that they could talk to. All in all the HOSA club has been very busy this year. Be- tween conventions and school activities it doesn't seem like they would have much time for anything else but they did take the time to certify the HOE Il students in CPR. Way to go HOSA!

National Honor Society Intelligence pays off for top juniors and seniors he National Honor Society consisted of thirty-two top quality juniors and seniors. The N.H.S. is one of the most prestigious clubs at North. remarked An- gela Locklear. Considering the requirements, it was quite an honor to be in the club. The N.H.S. members set ex- amples for other fellow students to follow. There was a change in requirements for the seniorsg not only did the juniors have to have a 93 aver- age, but the seniors did also. The old inducted the new members in a candlelight cer- emony in November. They were inducted on a basis of service, leadership, character, and academic achievement. The N.H.S. was responsible for the North in the News bulletin board. The members took up money for the Chris- tmas Happiness Fund for the Salisbury Post. Nl feel that our most successful project was collecting money for the Christmas Happiness Fund. lt brought unity among the club members as well as the stu- dent body, and also benefit- ted the needy, expressed Stephanie Michael. Along with other clubs, the N.H.S. landscaped a portion of the school courtyard. The N.H.S. was responsible for the Honor Roll ribbons passed out after every quarter. In order to have the ribbons, the N.H.S. sold poinsettias in December to raise the money that it would take. N.H.S. members worked hard to become members and contribute as active part- icipants.
