HISTORY CLUB HISTORY CLUB The NHS History Club has been going strong for seven years now. The members of the club strive to make history a big part of their lives. Its members visited Hawkinsville this past year to see Dukakis give an election speech. Going to Hawkinsville was an opportunity of a life- time for many of the clubs members. The club also sponsored a mock election this year. To have a part in the election the students had to try out in front if three judges. The three judges were Mr.Rogers, Mrs.Combs and Mr.Boyd.The mock election was a great suc- cess. During February, which is Black History month, the club highlighted special moments in Black History each day over the intercom. The club also highlighted special moments such as the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Under the direction fo Mrs. Newberry and through the excellent work of its members, the history club has been capable of making 1988-89 an excellent year. The club hopes to keep history a big part of everyone's life. The history club meets every Tuesday at break in room 53.

MAJORETTES MAJORETTES MAJORETTES To be a part of the majorette squad, much time and practice is put in during the summer before school begins and also practice daily after school during the fall. The girls are sponsored by Mrs. Carita Walker. Majorettes add a little something extra to the half-time routine by twirling their batons and doing their dance routines. Not everyone can twirl a baton. That is why only the most talented are chosen to represent Northside. The girls make it seem so easy to twirl a baton, but dropping the baton is easier if one does not have the coordination. Anytime there is a group, everyone's cooperation is needed in order for the group's effort to work suc- cessfully. There are always problems to work out, but a group with close relations can pull through. By watching the girls perform during the football season, it is evident that they have a good working relationship. The majorettes march down Watson Blvd. ahead of the band during the Christmas parade Majorettes, Kristi White and Leslie Owens, are a familiar part of the daily practices that are held after school A dedicated person with a “nack” for organization is needed to keep everything running smoothly; that is manager Brandi Barfield’s job 110 Majorettes
