Abiding By the Rules Choosing a right path (( I really enjoyed the service project. I had a good time helping the first graders, said NHS President Mike Haas. It was the first time in many years the National Honor Society had undertaken a service project. This year, as in the past, voting became a difi ' icult procedure. The prospective members were given ap- plications, which they put information on and gave to Mr. Gearhart. A 3.0 was needed to get an application. The applications then were given to the faculty to vote upon and select new members. The faculty voted on the idea of Service, Scholarship, Leadership, and Character in a prospective manner. Service dealt with a persons work in the community. The Student who might be chosen had to show ability to lead in or out of school. Lastly, the person was chosen upon their char- acter, which hopefully in their eyes showed outstand- ing quality. This has been the second year Mr. Gearhart has been an NHS adviser. Along with president Mike Haas were Vice president Kim Harding, Secretary Barb Sherwood, and Treasurer William Eversole. The first major project of the year was the new members ' induction ceremony in November. Four members spoke on leadership, scholarship, service, character, and RHHS alumnus Kathy Zieder spoke on the importance of education. Fifteen new members were inducted, including six seniors and nine juniors. New members were joined by their parents and then proceded with a reception in the Home Ec room. After the reception, members and their parents went out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. This was the first time I really enjoyed the service project, I hod a good time helping the tirst graders, NHS went out after induction. The members also had a Saint Patrick ' s Day candy Sale. Members sold green and chocolate clovers to students to raise money. Along with the sale, the NHS performed a service project in the elementary. All NHS students were assigned a elementary class to over and teach and held teachers once a week. This has been a first service project in many years.

Abiding By the Rules The Final Layout Even with the few minor problems we ' ve had , said Robert Agnew, we still put out twelve issues. Agnew and 37 other mem- bers compose the Salience Staff. The staff was very experienced with 5 of the 6 major editorial positions filled by Seniors. Alison Horwitz was editor-in-chief, Kim Harding was managing edi- tor, Rafe Omerza was News editor, Brian Matz was Feature editor and Dave Pelleg was photo editor. The lone junior was sports editor, Ann Rossoll. The re- mainder of the staff was assigned jobs by these editors, who then would edit their work. With the paper layout redesign a year behind them, the staff set out to further improve the award winning status of the Salience. Although the advertising goal of S6,000 was not reached, twelve tri-weekly issues were still planned. After writing the articles and taking the pictures, the staff would stay after school to paste- up , or layout the design of the paper and ready it for printing. We had a lot of fun at paste-ups. We ' re like family , stated staffer. On less than a happy note, staffers were unable to attend the Columbia Scholastic Press Association meeting in New York City. With a reduction in out of state field trips, several such trips were cancelled. Staffers earlier had traveled to Bowling Green State University for a day of journalism in November and again returned to BG for the annual spring awards. Adviser Robert Hodder again served as adviser for We had a lot of fun at paste-ups, We ' re like family, the newspaper even though his major teaching duties this year were in the middle school. Like every year, there were a few problems, but we still were able to come through in the end, com- mented editor Horwitz. In May, three year veterans sadly took to their blue pencils and wrote the final 30 for their final layouts.
