It may not have been known to more than three people, but it did give those people a moment in time to remember. It was the news of 1986, and it ranged from James Jackson getting married to Tina Miller breaking yet another bone. These moments took place every day of the week, even on a Thursday afternoon. They were special, unexpected, and will be remembered long after this school year is over. It may have been that third hour at McDonalds or winning a city tournament. It could have been a Valentine's Gram or the Senior Prom. It might have been that conversation that said, “I don’t know what I would have done without you,” or the night a friend put doggie slippers on your feet because you were cold. The New York Times reporter didn’t feel it was worth the effort, but it did make this year a special one.

NHS Demands Dedication The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that serves the purpose of provid- ing community services. It is made up of students who achieve high academic stan- dards. This academic excel- lence must be maintained throughout high school. The National Honor Society not only does community ser- vice but also helps to uplift the whole school environment. This year the society will be painting the wooden coverings for the wrestling mats in the gym. They will be handling the reception on honor’s night and will be working with the Mus- cular Dystrophy Association. They may help another group. National Honor Society mem- bers are responsible for setting a good example and carrying a 3.4 grade point average or higher. Senior Victoria Lor- encz stated, “Being in the National Honor Society has taught me responsibility and leadership.” Senior Michael Cross said, “I was inducted just this year but it has been a great learning experience.” Bill Pawluk
