Lee must be enrolled in Latin and maintain a 90 average through April 1. Being a member of the N.L.H.S., “has nothing to do with heritage,” according to sponsor. Miss Mary Jane Bickley. The 1986-87 members of the N.L.H.S. are: Alicia Beam, Jennifer Byrd, David Carroll, Michelle Carter, Bebe Garcia, Stephanie Furgeson, Amy George, Greg Hanson, Brian Hart, Gera Mickle, Andy Miller, Kel- ly Mullins, Stephen O’Sullivan, Hollie Pagel, Missi Perez, Jimmie Reeves, Chris Rincon, Lydia Rodriguez, Ken Sandel, Doug Tadlock, Eric Twar- dowski, and Clemencia Vigil. David Carroll (12) feels that being in the N.L.H.S., “just means you have a good grade in Latin.” On May 21, 1987 the members of the N.L.H.S. gathered together for an installation. This year’s installa- tion was held at Pizza Inn. During the installation, the mem- bers repeated a Latin phrase. “Lin- gua Latina est fundamentum sapien- tiae.” Which means; “The Latin lan- guage is the foundation of wisdom.” When the ceremony was complete the members enjoyed a festive feast.

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.

Classical: English History Students have been taken to new places and introduced to new people through literature and history. Fresh- man began to learn about the dread- ed term paper, sophomores ex- plored the world of literature,juniors prepared for their college entrance exams, and seniors perfected their skills in term paper writing. Included with these subjects were other areas of the English language as well as the usual testing. English and American authors from William Shakespeare to Nathaniel Hawthorne was just one incentive for testing. Although tests are not always popular with the stu- dent body Mrs. Cauley, one English teacher at Lee stated, “ 1 feel that it can be used as a positive instrument if it’s used properly”. At the same time while English teachers were fa- miliarizing students with the English language history was taking students to past victories and defeats both in our country and around the world. For some, government explained the way our country is run and the way the judicial system works. Econom- ics, on the other hand, gave students an idea of what being on your own really means as well as how much it’s going to cost. Teachers also helped the student body by showing films of different career choices and helped them attain information about them.
