NHS, TWC, and NSHS: Three Clubs Using Hard Work As Key To Success Hard work, honor and student involvement are common characteristics of the National Hon- or Society, Teens Who Care and the National Spanish Honor Society. All three OHS clubs were active in a variety of school and away-from-school events in 1977-78. Teens Who Care and National Honor Society were again the leaders in volunteer hours contri- buted by OHS students. Along with doing 15 service hours, the Nation- al Honor Society accepts members who have maintained a high grade point average. Each member is required to serve on one of the committees which is in charge of such activities as the rummage sale, sponsoring the Christmas and Spring dances, the carnation sale, a car wash and the spring picnic. The sponsors for the National Honor Society were Joan Robertson and Steve Whitsell. Teens Who Care contributed over 2,000 volun- teer hours during the year. TWC was formed so that young people could use their time and skills to help other people and so students could learn more about mental health. Through Teens Who Care I have found that people with special needs don't need my sympa- thy, but they need my love and understanding, said Lynette Miller, Teens Who Care president. Some of the major activities for Teens Who Care included Bingo parties for the senior citi- zens, collecting for the Kentucky Lung Associ- ation, Christmas caroling at the nursing homes, a Halloween party for the mentally retarded chil- dren and fixing Thanksgiving baskets. In November, the OHS Teens Who Care spon- sored a regional Awareness Conference on mental retardation at the 11-12 Center. At the 11th annual Teens Who Care state meet- ing, OHS president Lynette Miller was the re- cipient of the 5250 KARC Scholarship and TWC vice-president Pam Abrams was the recipient of the S250 Kearney Campbell Scholarship. Also, Pam Simon, the TWC sponsor, was named the TWC Outstanding Advisor for 1977-78. Juniors with an over all grade point average of 3.7 and seniors with 3.5 over all grade point aver- age and who maintain an A average inad- vanced Spanish are eligible for the National Spanish Honor Society. The main purpose of the National Spanish Honor Society is to further the usage of the Span- ish language through conversation and to honor students who are outstanding in Spanish. Besides inducting nine new members, other activities of the National Spanish Honor Society included selling candy, having bake sales, car washes and also sponsoring the 1977 Football Dance. The sponsor for the National Spanish Honor Society was Gladys Combs. - By Pam Abrams 6 fClubs And Organizations - Vg 'Q WWW. . bm 5iwvvm.3ap,,, 2 t M 2 at x M I f 'side it J is ' f. Sw -s .' F.

,iii.-..-i- - High-spirited Learning Molds Patient Leaders Both the Interact Club and Spirit In Action are high on dealing with spirit for high school sports, but the two clubs showed they had a sense of to- getherness in dealing with people. Interact is an all-male club which follows the sports teams at OHS and promotes school spirit. The sponsor of the Interact Club was Ron Peyton. The Interact Club had 49 members. The club met every first and third Wednesday of the month at the Ro- tary Club for dinner and discussion about the progress of the club. What do students learn that enter the Interact Club? They learn school support, good moral leadership and participation in a school related topic, said Club President Nicky Nicholas. The Interact Club tried to find pro- jects along the 1977-78 year that would build the club, as well as mon- ey made in the building of the club in general. The Interact Club was in debt at the start of the year due to money spent by the members last year, ex- plained Nicholas. Spirit In Action is an all girls club which promotes school spirit. The president of the club was Susan Shacklett. The SIA was responsible to work with other students and faculty mem- bers to promote school spirit. SIA met every other week during 1977-78. The club had 87 members. Dr. Roy Woodward was the sponsor for the club. Some of the things the SIA did was to decorate the halls of the school be- fore a big game, decorate for parties afterward and just back all of the sports teams at OHS. Student Union is a new club at OI-IS. The student Union was former- ly the Black Student Union. Now the club is open to anyone of either race. The purpose of Student Union is to learn patience and responsibility. Money is raised by such events as car washes and record hops. The mon- ey will go towards a summer prom. Mickey Mundy is the club's spon- sor. - By Steve Mclntyre 6 X Clubs And Organizations 4535222 iiet .,,., , R Spirit In Action meetings were usually held in the library after school.
