Honor Uph ld Honor Students Work Together and Play Together National Honor Society members were involved this year in many activities, proving that being a brain doesn't require spending 24 hours a day with your nose in a book. Service projects, homecoming ac- tivities, and a Horror Movie night were just a few of the events in which the organization participated. Honor Society was a more domi- nant factor in the school this year, Charles Ross, president, com- mented, even though the club wasn't really in the limelight. We had a number of things which were good projects which really didn't receive much attention. I think our movies were a big success and I hope it's a trend which will continue in the future. Not only did the club show Psycho in December, they also won honors in the basketball free throw competition sponsored by the cheerleaders and took second place in the Interact Christmas Sing. By participating in and winning these contests, the National Honor Society has proven its excellence in academics, athletics, and fine arts, Honey Huckelbury, senior, quipped. From having pizza parties to selling pennants to working at lnterFaith, the National Honor Society has func- tioned as a social and service organization. I feel that the National Honor Society has become, much more ac- tive this year, Jackie Johnston, senior, explained. By doing service, money-making, and social projects, we have kept members active and enthusiastic. Voting is just one more part of belonging to the National Honor Society Here members vote on guest speaker for the annual induction ceremony Singing their hearts out, National Honor Society members take second place inthe Interact Service Club Christmas Sing

Brent Harris, junior Kim Toon, senior I like English class The thing I like best because of all the different about my English class is things we study. all the reading. Kropp said. Many colleges give AP credit. Money wise it saves a lot and it allows freshmen time to take other courses. Some colleges recognize it as a true gifted program. They see that those who put out the extra ef- fort in college. These students are more motivated and not necessarily more gifted.
