Honor bound At Stuarts Draft High School there was this past year, as in former years, two special groups of people. One was the National Art Honor Society and the other was the National Honor Society. Both groups were comprised of out- standing students who were invited by the faculty to join one of these groups. The National Art Honor Society or NAHS, whose sponsor was Mrs. Spil- man, was mainly concerned with teaching the students to be more cre- ative and to encourage more art work in the school and in the community. It also helped them to be supportive of each other and their work. NAHS was an organization whose members were chosen by invitation of the faculty and those members had to have at least aB + average to be elligible to join. This past year the members sold candy to raise money for art supplies and went on a trip to Richmond, Virginia. The National Honor Society sponsored by Mrs. Leach, who is the guidance counselor at SDHS, was also very active this past school year. This group of stu- dents was made up of those who had a grade point average of at least a 3.3. These members wer juniors and seniors chosen by the faculty on a basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. To be invited to join the Na- tional Honor Society, the students had to win a majority of the faculty’s votes. This past year three seniors were invit- ed to join the NHS and were inducted in the fall. During the year the members of the NHS collected toys at Christmas for the Salvation Army and some even tried their hand at tutoring. At parent conferences a few of them served as guides and also sponsored a guest speaker. Once a month both of the two groups would meet to discuss future activities which would benefit both the school and the community. by Sandy Wright and Robin Watts Far above: NAHS members: Josh Biser, Deana Harris, Teresa Newsome, Marty Weems, Mrs. Spilman, Doug Cogar, John Burch, Joel Batts, Chris Campbell, Mike Rodgers, Sandy Vey, Troy Elmore, Jackie Vu, Lisa Snell, James Kitchen, Michelle Fitzgerald, Candy Northedge, Becky Knos, Tammy Ayers, Vicky Pen- nington, Ann Melvin, Sidney Harris, Roxanne O'Brien.
