where do brains get tapped? Many school organizational activi- ties are done by following past tradi- tions. This year, National Honor So- ciety decided to change their style by introducing new ways of raising money and having a good time. To start off the year, NHS held a Think-a-thon in which members took a test and then collected pledges. This new idea raised a great deal of money for a club that began the year in the red. Another new idea was also attempted, NHS tried opening a book store in the Student Council Corner Closet. Selling paper back books turned out to be a very unsuccessful venture for the club, but it was an effort to get members more involved. Sweetest Day and Valentine's Day flower sales, bake sales and selling tickets at home games were the biggest fund raising projects. These helped pay for a banquet and a scholarship for a col- lege bound NHS member. On March 4, NHS held their annu- al tapping ceremony. Junior and seniors students with a minimum 3.0 average, showing participation in extracirricular activities were in- ducted into NHS after being select- ed by the faculty and administration. During the ceremony, the selected students' names were announced and then tapped by the two-year senior members. Although the tap- ping ceremony was basically the same as last year, the week follow- ing found new inductees going though initiation. Senior members could require the inductees to recite the officers' names, characteristics of National Honor students or do the NHS cheer. On the following Monday, National Honor Society held a banquet at the Showboat Restaurant for the new members and their parents. This Page: 1.
