Sound like a lot of hard work? It is, but that's what students must do to gain membership into the Bertrand Russell chapter of the National Hon- or Society. After prospective inductees hand in their applications, the work begins for current members. First they ver- ify each applicant's grades and extra- curricular hours to see that he has maintained a 3.4 average and has contributed at least 100 hours of ser- vice to school and community. Teachers meet to review recom- ,rr Academic clubs mendations, evaluating each stu- dent's character and leadership abili- ty. If an applicant fulfills all the re- quirements, then he is notified of his acceptence to the Honor Society. On February 5, 1981, the induction commenced. The guest speaker, Sen- ator Melvin Steinherg, delivered an enlightening speech about deciding how to vote on a bill. He referred to a recent bill proposing to raise the drinking age. Other speakers included principal Richard Thomas and advisor Al Sny- derman. After the induction, the vigorous popcorn training begins. Each new member must be conditioned to show up on his appointed day, make popcorn, fill the bags, count to 30 cents and, most importantly, sweep the lobby after putting away the ma- chine.

The difficulty of adapting to Ameri- can life and the recent influx of Viet- namese and Cuban high school stu- dents has created a demand for bilin- gual education. English for Speakers of Other Lan- guages is a program designed to meet this need. It gives these kids a chance, says Marsha Dale, program coordinator. ESOL began three years ago as a pilot program. This year ESOL ex- panded by starting a language center at Arbutus Senior High School. Here students may receive more intensive help with the English language. i The ESOL student attends his re- quired classes at Randallstown in the morning. Then he goes to the lan- guage center in the afternoon. Students of different nationalities -Korean, Russian, Columbian, Iranian, Cuban, Vietnamese and Chinese-learn English together. ESOL offers more than English, students also take a course called the American experience, which teaches U.S. geography, government, civics, history and culture. Foreigners re- ceive knowledge needed to live in American society. Seven of the 87 ESOL students in the county are Randallstonians. One such student is Jose Arroyo. He ar- rived in the U.S. at the beginning of this school year. He agrees with many of ESOL's acclaimers and sup- porters- ESOL is good for students that don't speak English. learning together -uve The Senor Levine Show premiered at RHS in early spring.

The selections discussed are a se- ries of books chosen by the Great Books Foundation of the University of Chicago. Since the start of the Great Books Club in 1978, the number of partici- pants has been between 12 and 14. In the first year, sophomores were ac- cepted, subsequently, the program was restricted to juniors and seniors. The committee judges an appli- cant on the basis of three criteria-a teacher's recommendation, his stan- dardized test scores and his GPA for the last marking period. Assistant Principal D.F. Lane has sponsored the program in collabora- tion with Clarence Beebe, Raymond Glenn and Bert Tromble respective- ly each year. He is extremely proud of this year's group. He describes them as a very verbal, aggressive, spontaneous, fast-paced bunch. They conduct themselves in a mature fashion, he feels, and states, It's an enjoyment for me. Senior Becky Gaul proudly displays her certi- ficate and candle at the Honor Society induc- tion, held in the social studies triad. 4 Great Books Club member Susie Heneson refers to her book as she discusses the work of Aristotle with other members.
