 NHS Contributions Pay Off The National Honor Society fullfilled many needs of the students and teachers. NHS also managed in their spare time to raise money for the annual banquet. Becoming a part of the National Hon- or Society is a major step to the road of success. It requires much hard work and determination. To even be considered for NHS one must have a overall average of 92.5 and teacher approval. The club began the year by introduc- ing tutorial sessions for students. Due to lack of interest, attendance at these tuto- rials was unfortunately low, but Carrie Hays, club president commented that the students who were helped made the program worthwhile. The NHS also contributed their skill to the teachers at P.H.S. taking the TE- CAT Literacy test in March. The ses- sions turned into a chance for teachers and NHS members to share donuts and orange juice. It also gave teachers a much needed opportunity to release a little pent up frustration. Members earned money for activities by selling candy bars. With the money raised, the NHS took a trip to Six Flags in Arlington and enjoyed many of the rides. Ending the year, the NHS had a ban- quet at the Hyatt and stuffed themselves with fajjitas. As tradition would have it, the juniors paid for the seniors' meals. 1.

Industrial New Equipment Shapes New Club The 1985-96 year for Industrial Arts was a very productive, safe, and fun year. The year was better because of the new machines, the woodlathe and the shaper. The woodlathe permitted students to make cyclindrical objects such as round table legs and bowls. The shaper allowed students to shape the edges of wood to suit the decorative or functional needs of a project, thus giving the students a broader choice of projects to build. It was easier to complete a project because the machines weren't so crowded. With the new machines in the shop, new safety rules were added to the al- ready long list. In the beginning of the year, before any work begins, all of the students must study the safety rules of all machines. After the studying of all the rules, the students must make a per- fect score on the safety test of every ma- chine. The Industrial Arts club in the 1985-86 year was more advanced and better equiped for the year of Youth Fairs and competitive events. The club met in the morning before school once a month. During those meetings the club would find out about current Industrial Arts events, the new type of innovative ma- chines on the market, and how the up- coming competitions and Youth Fairs could benefit them. Hard work was only part of being in Industrial Arts. There were good times too, like experimenting with the new machines and attending the Industrial Arts club meetings. I feel that the pro- gram has been very successful this year, and with the help of students, our pro- gram will continue to grow and become stronger, commented instructor Kelly Miller. IVIath S cience The 1985-86 Math Science club: First Row: club sponsor Jean Kelly, Pamela Hue- bener, Suzanne McNutt, Farah Moosavi, Barbara Hees, and Kay Weidner. Second Row: Dana Clanton, Eric Labordini, William Lorfing, Charles Mays, Shelah Riggins, Eddie Williams, Carrie Hays, Anne Blakeley, and Nick Peterson. The Math Science club did not have a very productive year. Jean Kelly, the club's sponsor, had a difficult time orga- nizing meetings because the members could not find time in their busy sched- ules. While Mrs Kelly was trying to schedule meetings, the year slipped away swiftly. Before anyone knew what had happened, it was too late for the mem- bers to have any type of field trip or club activity.

Quill Scroll 1 Noel Wagner, junior, relaxes before going to take more pictures for the year- book. 2. Quill and Scroll members include Noel Wagner, Karen Brown, Misty Johnson, and new inductees Anne Blakely, and Leah Blain. 3. Officers of the 1985- 86 school year were president Karen Brown, secretary Noel Wagner, and vice- president Misty Johnson. Something To Be Proud Of In earlier times, quill and scroll was one of the most beautiful forms of writ- ing known. The tools used were a quill, usually a goose feather with a very sharp end, and a scroll, a sheet of paper made from papyrus. Though the forms of writing have changed greatly through the years, the honor is still there. At Pflugerville high school. Quill and Scroll means an honor- ary journalism club. A member is only accepted after showing outstanding mer- it in journalism. The student must be at least a sophomore and rank in the top quarter of his or her class. The new inductees for 1985-86 were Anne Blakely and Leah Blain. Blakely was recognized for her ability on the newspaper staff and Blain for her achievement in both newspaper and yearbook. Although Quill and Scroll club was again inactive, the honor was still there and can never be taken away. — Quill Scroll 63 —
