Belonging to clubs is BEING INVOLVED Trying to figure out whether or not to get involved with extra- curricular activities is a difficult decision for middle school stu- dents. Unlike the high school stu- dents, middle school students must be concerned about trans- portation home after the activity. Few clubs meet after school how- ever, as many of the organiza- tions meet during a class period and are part of the curriculum. Whether it was in school or after school these clubs and or- ganizations had good par- ticipation from a number of SHMS students. This year the Quiz Bowl team was included in the clubs for students to become in- volved. Headed by Mrs. Rice, stu- dents worked diligently on all as- pects of Social Studies in preparation for the Quiz Bowl which is held in February. At this time SHMS students compete against other middle school stu- dents around the county for the honor of winning first place in the Quiz Bowl middle school di- vision. The National Junior Honor So- ciety gained a new sponsor this year, Mrs. Caldwell. Getting a jump on the new school year, Iunior Honor Society students were at the school during pre- school days for teachers, lending assistance whenever needed. Im- mediately rolling into the fall they sponsored a dance and be- gan tutoring students in the academic areas. These students actual- ly reactivated the school store. The Year- book and Newspaper staff had their usual af- ter school and morning meetings in prepara- tion for meeting their deadline. Last year I thought it was going to be easy working on the yearbook, but meeting deadlines was very hard, said Meg Helmholtz year- book staff member. .Clubs help to keep students organized, and as- sisted in teaching them to get along with others. The main things that clubs offered was fun and knowledge in students, spare time. Clubs and Organizations T 25

26 i Yearbook Mrs. Hall Mrs. Skiraiko Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Skiratko are the Reflections advisors. They are what makes each page in the yearbook possible. They spend endless, tedious hours before school, after school and even weekends to make sure every- thing is perfect and that staff members are working to their fullest capabilities. Their goal is to assist staff members in producing an out- standing yearbook that S.H.M.S. students will be proud of.
