The Onlooker Staff spent another year keeping the Taylor students in- formed as to all the happenings at their school. The paper was published several times over the school year and was something that the student body all looked forward to. The purpose of a newspaper class goes beyond the publication itself. Staffers learned journalistic writing styles and proper coverage as well as editing, interviewing, and proofread- ing. Todd Pickard acted for the second year as the editor-in-chief. Although the job required a lot of hard work, he handled his position very well. Todd and the other members of the staff were advised by Mrs. Donelson. Reporler Doug Tate is always hard at work on his journalism skills. (?) Mrs. Donelson checks over an article. 118 Onlooker

National Honor Society 1982 Initiates Rodney Boyd Angle Buckner Christina Coles Carololyn Dial Steven Edmonds Ken Ensign Allison Forbes Donna Freeman Jenny Gotshall Scott Goudy Daniel Hansen Derrick Hansen Laurel Higtilen Tim Laflin John Laurence Gall Martin Stasha Mason Jon Meadors Kim Murray William Parrott Teresa Richey Cynthia Robertson Kristen Sisk Laura Smith Erin Snider Tim Sugar Kevin Swain Lorl Wagner Twenty-eight new members were Initiated last year into the National Honor Society. These students were being recognized for all their hard work over the years. To become a member of N.H.S., a person has to have at least a B aver- age, but there are many other factors that are considered. A member has to be active in school, participating in clubs, class activities, or sports. Another qualification for becom- ing a member is to have good charac- ter and show leadership qualities. Past teachers were asked if they thought potential members displayed these qualities, and if they had a rea- son why a person should not be initi- ated. A few weeks after the initiation, the new and old members were treat- ed to a dinner in Noblesville. Mark Lasbury led the club as president, Pat Fines was vice-president, David Ro- gue acted as treasurer, and Ram Hodge was secretary. Initiates anxiously await the start of the ceremony.
