Town Crier Last J une, when the staff for this yearts Town Crier was selected, the new editors hoped to establish the newspaper as a foru'm for dialogue in the High School. However, motivating students to write proved to be extremely difficult, and the editors ad- justed their original goals and formed, instead, a cen- tral core of writers that wrote issue after issue. This change altered many aspects of the paper. The quality of the writing improved with each addi- tion as the writers, abilities were developed. Thus, the general quality of the newspaper was upgraded because there was never a lack of printable material. Under the leadership of Art Turfa, the staff of the Town Crier was expanded to include both juniors and sophomores. This expansion lead to a diversity of opinion and ideas concerning the organization of the paper itself. The staff may not have viewed this yearts paper as a complete success, but they felt that one small step has been taken towards making the Town Crier a rep- resentative, high-quality newspaper.

National Honor Society The Cardin D. Brown chapter of the National Honor Society is part 01 a national organization which is dedicated to the promotion of scholars ship and of a spirit of service among the students of Plymouth-White- marsh High School. Membership in this society is perhaps the highest scholastic honor offered by the school. The present members were inducted in the spring last year and were chosen both for their scholastic average and their extra-curricular activ: ities, which range from clubs, to musical organizations, to literary organiza- tions, to any of the school sports. As always lack of money was a problem, so the Honor Society spon- sored bake sales at Plymouth Square and at Shoppersi World. Some 01 the members did their part toward community service by tutoring ele- mentary school children on Saturday mornings in modern math and reading. Although everyone did not participate in this program, those who did so found it very rewarding. Last but not least, came the induc- tion of those persons into the club who will be the leaders of the Society and the school next year. KNEELING: S. Krill, M. Bate, E. Elanjian, M. Coscia.
