Classic Achievers Pictured ate Volidectorian, David Carroll and Salutatorum. Deberah Houk David's grade point average was 7.047 while Deberah's was 7 023 Throughout your academic career, you are placed into groups, clubs, and cliques. The final placing in is your aca- demic ranking. One could be in the 1st quarter or the 4th quarter, but ten re- ceive the honor of being called the Top Ten. Ranking in the top ten requires 4 years of hard work and study. When Judy Hodgson was asked if she or her parents where more excited, she exclaimed, “I know I was! Some of the toughest classes I had were: precal- clus and physics.” Her career goal now is to do something in Mechanical Engineering. Ed Warren said. ‘‘I plan to attend Rice University.” His career goal now is to make a living in business or law. He said, My toughest classes were Biol- ogy and Physics. When his parents found out he said, We were both equally excited.” Now the top ten are off at college. We are sure whatever they do they will make their family and everyone who knows them proud. High school was a stepping stone for the 1986-87 seniors. Watch out world, here comes the REL ’86-’87 top ten! The sixth senior was Judy Hodgson (6 600). eighth was David Ward (6 348). ninth was James Poepsel (6 338). and tenth was Jennifer Floyd (6 330) Not pictured was the seventh senior.

Secretary Grace Chen In 1921 a group of distinguished educators decided that there should be some public recognition of the de- velopment of those qualities which stand for outstanding intellectual ability, achievement, sound charac- ter, true initiative and conscientious service in all progressive schools in the United States. Therefore, with these standards as guides the Nation- al Honor Society was bom. In 1942, Robert E. Lee petitioned the Nation- al Honor Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. to grant a charter to allow us to establish a chapter. That first year seven members were installed. Since then the membership has grown to fifty. Mrs. Shirley Theile, one of the cur- rent sponsors of the NHS says that to have an average of 85 in honors courses, of regular classes a 95 is needed to maintain status in the soci- ety. Not only does the NHS have an interest in academic achievement but also In the welfare of others. They proved this through a donation to the Shriners Burn Institute in Galveston and raising sufficient funds through the annual Valentine’s day carnation sale which funded three seperate $500.00 scholarships. Academic ex- cellence has played a part in the tra- dition that lives in REL and perhaps will double it’s standing in the years to come.
