FHS Societe Honoraire de Francais Sponsor Mrs Pamela Cooper The French Honor Society is a na- tional honorary organization. The eighteen members of REL must have a 90 average in all their classes which include French 1 and II. The members must complete three semesters of French and maintain a 90 average each semester prior to becoming a member of the F.H.S. This organiza- tion was established to recognize the outstanding students in French. Mrs. Pamela Cooper feels that the F.H.S., “Benefits the students’ chances in attending a university of their choice, especially now that uni- versities require a language. F.H.S. is an elite group because it’s hard to maintain that level of excellence. The National officers are of French de- cent.” “The F.H.S. helped you to under- stand the language and the culture better,” says Keith Lohkamp. Judy Hodgson feels, “It’s not as prestigious as the National Honor Society because in the F.H.S. you just have to have a 90 average in French and an 80 average in everyth- ing else.” Deborah Houk says, Anyone can be in the F.H.S. because it’s based on your grades.

Delta Epsilon G.H.S. Spernor ol the 148647 German Honor Society was M« Lindy Hor ey r; The German Honor Society was organized to honor the students who excelled in the study of the German language. There were two levels of the Soci- ety. The National Chapter and the R.E. Lee Chapter. The requirements for the National Chapter was that the student maintained an average of 95 or above for at least three semes- ters and for the R.E. Lee Chapter was that the student maintained an average of 90 or above for the three semesters. For most students this was a great accomplishment. Spon- sor, Lindy Horsey said, “It makes the students feel good to know their hard work is appreciated!! The purpose of the German Hon- or Society is to recognize the achievements of the students who excelled in the study of the German language. The members of the club rarely met with each other for any meetings since it was only an honor- ary society and there was not much business to be taken care of. There was an initiation ceremony on May 18, 1986 to induct the fol- lowing new members: Harald Aa- lund, Lisa Armstrong, Henry Bern- shausen, Traci Douglas. Ronnie Ganski, Angie John, Melissa Pumer- aga, Jennifer Tyler and Mark Weiss. The one who held the whole thing together was the sponsor of the soci- ety, Ms. Lindy Horsey. Angw John. Room Gon C.
