128 ational Honor Society: cliolars and Leaders In spite of the fact that most of the space in this book is devoted to the non-academic side of life here at St. Joe's, it should not be forgotten that this is above all an institution of learning, and that We enjoy a reputation for educational excellence unmatched by any school in the area. Therefore, it is onl yproper that a page or solbe devoted to the students who excel in the academic field. Admission to the N.H.S. is based on scholastic achieve- ment in all subjects, and on such desirable characteristics as leadership and service in the school community. Only after extensive screening for all these requirements are the selected juniors and seniors admitted. Considering the high level of scholastic excellence and extracurricular participation here at St. Joe's, one can see that moderator Brother Cyr and president Ed Stehlik have on their rolls some of the best in a school that is so good in so many things. NHS officers Bill O'Connor, Gene Romagna, Al Zachik and Ed Stehlikon stage with faculty members Bro. james O'Grady, and Messrs. Tier and Ryan at the induction ceremony.

-f H. The conquering heroes await their letters, awards, chicken and peas. Traditional Honors Bestowed at Awards Banquet Only once a year at St. Josephs do those who labor in extra- curriculars get more from their coaches and moderators than criticism, headaches and inferiority complexes. Each spring the school honors those who gave their all in things unacademic at the awards banquet. Letters and awards for each activity are presented at a dinner in the gym, and the evening is highlighted by the presentation of the Scholar-Athlete award to the student who best exemplifies St. Joes in these areas. In the magic of the spring air smiles are smiled, hands are shaken, and students actually get along with their teachers, at least until next season. Coaches Brett, Larzclwehr and Milsopoulos congratulate their successful students, shotputter Tom Barletta, and javelin men Kirk Moore and Mike Ryan. Devoted bandsrnan jim Buist receives his award from Mr. Braga, band director. 129
