Honor Societies Serve School The Foreign Language Honor Societies combined the principles of scholarship, service and friendship in learning and working together. Outstanding Spanish and French students were inducted into their respective societies in spring and fall of 1970. The French National Honor Society raised sufficient funds to offer a scholarship to a superior member, while the Spanish National Honor Society raised money to finance a trip to New York to see Man of La Mancha. Tutoring students in languages was again the service function of both societies. Foreign Language Ho-nor Societies offered mem- bers incentive to continue in their language studies and satisfaction in being of school service.

The Peppiest Mouths in Town Exhibited by the many tasks performed by the Pep Club, school spirit consists of much more than an occasional Rah, Rah! at a football game. Throughout the year, Pep Club members were seen up and clown school corridors painting posters, decorating locker doors and creating new ways to support the teams. Activities included: constructing a float and creating a skit for Homecoming, selling refreshments at the wrestling meets and basketball games, and sponsoring a dinner to culminate each sports season for all participants. Striving to encourage players, the Pep Club held both pride and enthusiasm for the athletes representing SPFHS.

Teaching Future Teachers Having a goal to promote interest in learning and education, the Future Teachers of America Club held different activities to fulfill its purpose. The high point of the year was the club's participation in the District Visitation Program. This was a program enabling the 40 club members to sit in on elementary school classes and aid the teachers. Not only did this experience show all the responsibilities involved in a teaching career, but it also sparked greater interest in the pursuit of this profession. The club also sponsored a scholarship for the most outstanding future teacher. Accomplishing its objective, the Future Teachers of America Club provided a means where interested stu- dents could become acquainted with their lifetime ambition.
