NHS is an active group which leads in promoting many activities within the school and community. The club consisted of many bright and dedicated stu- dents who led their class by taking part in leadership ac- tivities. In December, some of the NHS members par- ticipated in a Torch Run. They ran from DFW Hospi- tal to Carswell Air Force Base holding a lighted torch. As a result of the run, a tree was give to the Armed Forces to promote peace. Jason Cartwright, a partici- pater in the run said, It was a lot of fun and for a great cause. The NHS officers were President, Eric VanBlar- cumg Vice-President Barbie Flaten, Secretary, David IT GOES LIKE THIS . . .

The NHS members had to have a 3.66 grade point average and also had to be nominat- ed by their previous teach- ers. Thus all four years were evaluated. The fact that the grades and activities are noticed and rewarded is what I like most about NHS, said Karl Berta. Mu Alpha Theta was a mathematics club for stu- dents with good math skills interested in competing in math contests. To be an ac- tive or national member, students had to be enrolled in a high level of math. To be an associate member one had to be enrolled in Geom- etry. To give those who were not enrolled in either a chance to compete also, those in Algebra I were con- sidered affiliate members and able to compete. Don Dao said, The meetings are a chance for me to learn dif- ferent aspects of math and how to apply them to every- day lifef' A math contest was sponsored by Mu Alpha Theta members in Febru- ary. April is Math Educa- tion Month. National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta were two clubs designed to recog- nize those who excel aca- demically. WE COULD DO THIS? Deciding what to bring up at the next Honor Society meeting, Wal- ter Wykes, Anthony Marks, and Sam Wester give their views. iPhoto by Kevin Brilesl HERE IT IS...

This meeting will now come to or- der! said Paul Evans. This is what was heard every Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. by the half awake members of the Student Council as they began their meeting. The students located their seats and began to listen to the proposals that were on the agenda. Most of the ideas put forth were ways to get the student body motivated and into school spirit. This group was re- sponsible for all the activities during Homecoming Week, sponsored all the dances, responsible for many cooper- ative efforts between the school and the community, and the Spring Fling and Carnival. THE THINKER . . . Deep in thought, Michael Cozad looks over the minutes of the last meeting. ORGANIZATIONS If rv f ,f Y Tracks toward greater success The Council consisted of the class officers and all of the at large mem- bers. The at-large positions were voted on by the student body. Qualifications to be on the Student Council were that one had to maintain above a C average and a desire to promote a positive atti- tude toward the school. The officers met each day during second period and planned and put into action all the activities voted on by the Council. The officers also were responsible for maintaining the Coke machines. About half of the period each day was spent filling the machines and count- ing the money from them. Vice-Presi- dent Adriana Tejeda said, I like fill- ing the machines. At first I thought I'd get tired of it but it's fun. My only regret is being the last ti finish every- day. All monies from the machines went into the Council's account to help support their many projects. Besides the machines, the officers also had to keep the announcements on the out- side marquee current and write the minutes from the last meeting and plan for the next meeting on Friday. Without this organization in school the students would have no imput as to the activities of the school nor would there be any school functions to at- tend. ,gg 13 l I Treasurer, S.
