eeees ely! There are many students who make a difference at Northside by participating in academic teams. For those student who enjoy working with numbers and are good at it, the Math Team is an option. The team members must make A’s in math and be recommended by their math teacher. At tournaments the team members must take written test. The total team scores are used to determine the winners. This aca- demic team always makes Northside proud for its efforts. The students in the Honors Program have the opportunity to participate in the Academic Bowl. This is a county activity which is based on general knowledge of all subjects. Those people who had the best record of correct answers were chosen for the team. This year’s team included Mike Hester, Ronald Brigmond, and Susan Fuller. Once a week after school, one could hear the ‘ding of a bell’ as these conscien- tious students practiced for competition. Georgia Scholars for the 1988 year are Michael Carter, Tammy Piceno, Medgar Rob erts, and Susan Fuller Scott Culpepper, Samantha Bozeman, Tammy Piceno, Debi Waterman, Amy El- more, Carleen Dammann, Jon Peacock, and Tony Nguyen are the members of the Math Team This years group received a tropy for their efforts. Students chosen as Georgia Scholars must be graduating seniors, who must score 1300 on the SAT and must exhibit excellence in all phases of school and com- munity life. In the fifth year of Northside’s participa tion in this program, we were reward by having four of our graduates chosen for this honor. They were Michael Carter, Su- san Fuller, Tammy Piceno, and Medgar Roberts. For their efforts these four have been given scholarships to further their educations.

There are so many students who work hard during the year, but there were a few who worked just a little bit harder. For these students who endured long hours of study and sweat, there are many different rewards. One of the most prestigious honors that can be awarded is the STAR stu: dent award. This year’s STAR student was Amy Elmore and she chose Mrs. Mary Beth Henke as her STAR teacher. Amy's recognition was due to her ex- tremely high SAT score. Another award offered to Seniors is the Golden Eagle Award which was sponsored by the Macon Telegraph and News. The nominees from Northside were Mike Carter (Art), Regina Moore (Citizenship), Sherolyn Ford (Drama), Medgar Roberts (English), Jeff Jones (Foreign Language), Will Vinson (Indus- trial Vocation), Brian Lifsey (Journal- ism), Tammy Piceno (Math), Dottie Her books and her clarinet are very dear to the heart of Star Student, Amy Elmore. Being chosen as Star Teacher by Amy, Mrs. Henke is proud of the honor Hunt (Music), Gail Bird (Science), and Susan Fuller (Social Science). Medgar Roberts and Susan Fuller won an overall award for their outstanding accomplish: ments. Mike Carter and Sherolyn Ford won Honorable Mentions for their tal- ents. Finally, there is a program that gives attention to Sophomores and Juniors especially. The Governor's Honors Pro- gram is a six week session at Valdosta State College. The Program allows ex- ceptional students a chance for exten- sive study in their category. The areas of study range from Dance to Math. This year’s finalists were Ricky McClel- len — Math, Lisa Carlson — Science, and Phil Little — Drama. All of these students worked many years to develop the talents they were rewarded for. All that just goes to show that good things come to those who wait.
