NIHS Proves to be AT THE TOP The National Junior Honor So- ciety is an organization for stu- dents who earn and maintain a 3.5 grade point average, exhibit leadership, service, and citizen- ship qualities. Students who qualify receive a membership in- vitation, and are inducted at a special candlelight ceremony. One of the services NIHS has provided this year is tutoring. Students who were targeted by teachers or students who felt they needed a little extra help in a certain subject area, could come in Tuesday and Thursday morn- ings at 8:00 for tutoring. Other activities NIHS sponsored were a Halloween dance, a donut sale, and Valentine cards. Members meet once a month to plan activities and in November Mrs. Caldwell, NIHS sponsor, in- vited an engineer from UNISYS to discuss qualifications for be- coming an engineer , and the im- portance of continuing their ac- ademic excellence through high school. This will only better their chances of attending the college of their Choice. Eighty new members were in- ducted March 17. These students will continue the tradition to be at the top.

The Red Knights are HISTORY BUFFS Mr. Anderson sponsors the so- cial studies club, The Red Knights. The members of the club have a sincere interest in Amer- ican History and the law. Activ- ities include going on field trips to the courthouse, police stations, museums and Epcot Center. In this organization the Red Knight student will be exposed to the happenings in our society, and have the opportunity to ven- ture into the world of social studies. Quick Minded QUIZZERS Five of our school's brightest students are chosen each year to represent SHMS in the Quiz Bowl competition. The Quiz Bowl is very similar to High Q and Col- lege Bowl. The team competes against other middle schools in the Economics Fair. Students se- lect and answer questions in the areas of math, science, language arts and social studies. The preliminary round is held in February, but the team prac- tices every Thursday morning from November through Febru: ary. Mrs. Rice, the Quiz Bowl coach, will use practice questions from previous competitions. The experience of being on a Quiz Bowl team helps the stu- dents gain self confidence, and is a good preparation for high school. Red Knights and Quiz Bowl T 39
