Student Council Gets Off to a Slow Start When the 1979 — 80 school year began, the Student Coun- cil seemed idle, but the lack of funds was a deterrent to plan- ning many activities. In Octo- ber, they organized Spirit Week and Homecoming activities that culminated in a dance Fri- day night. For a community project, Student Council mem- bers sponsored a collection of toiletries to give to local rest homes at Christmas. They also sang Christmas carols to them, with the choral depart- ment. In February, Student Council handled Twirp Week and the Twirp Dance. Mayfest was their closing project. 1.

Academics is one very impor- tant aspect in Northwood's curriculum. To be inducted into the French Honor Society or the National Honor Society is one of the greatest rewards bestowed upon any student. For acceptance in the N.H.S., one must maintain at least a 3.2 average. If one makes a “D” for a semester grade, he is drop- ped from the society, never to be reinstated. For acceptance in the F.H.S., one must main- tain an A average in French and at least a B” overall aver- age. One is suspended from the F.H. S. if his average drops to a “B in a six weeks until his grade is returned to an A . The N.H.S. had its induction ceremonies in November. Two seniors and 22 juniors were in- ducted. The F.H.S. inducted 11 students in November. Both honor societies are ac- tive. The N.H.S. sponsors an annual dinner at Northwood to raise money for the schol- arships given to two senior members at the end of the year. The F.H.S. also has dinners (with French foods) and trips, as well. 1.
