Ending With Honors Spring semester brought honors for the high achieving students through the first National Honor Society induction ceremony and the end-of-the-year hon- ors program. The NHS induction held on Feb. 27 gave members time to participate in fund-raisers selling c andles, potpourri, candy and PHS stickers. Being in the honor society is fun and the things we do help me learn to be re- sponsible, Brian Soloman said. The annual honors program was held May 23. Numerous awards were given and class favorites were announced with 54 sophomores and 59 freshmen re- ceiving awards for honor roll. In addi- tion, one student was honored for his or her achievement in each department. It made me feel privileged to be se- lected out of everyone in journalism for an award, ' Jennifer Gunn said. Whether in NHS or honors program, the academic excellence of the student body was evident, (jenny Downs) Over 50 sophomores are recognized for their achievement of being on the all-year honor roll.

Make It or Break It Usually when students think of a year- book, they imagine pictures and auto- graphs. However, a yearbook goes much farther than that, as a group of ten stu- dents found out. Yearbook has definitely been an ex- perience! I have learned how to meet deadlines and how to be more respon- sible, Ericka Wells said. But it meant something, being able to record the year for everyone. Yet having the re- sponsibility of pre- serving the school ' s history wasn ' t al- ways enjoyable to staff members. I hate deadlines. No matter how hard I seem to work, I nev- er get done, Cathy Laughlin said. All the hard work paid off. After meet- ing the big spring deadline April 19, the staff was treated to lunch at Pizza Inn during fourth period. They deserved the break after com- pleting 85 percent of the book that early, adviser Marianne Darley said. Yearbook was also an educational ex- perience. I learned more about the school and had fun doing it, Carrie Rob- inson said. (Jenny Downs) ' fs ana H WHAT-) WHERE HOW Along with being a statt member came many responsibilities.
