Result: A perfect candidate for an honor society. Once the requirements were met, the work began. ln the summer National Honor Soci- ety members sold suckers and lollipops on popular intersec- tions and at popular stores. Other activities to raise money were a helium balloon sale and liftoff during Homecoming week and the annual Roman Day at the end of the year. Once the money was earned, the next decision was how to spend it. The group chose to donate S300 to the Michael Durkin fund. Michael was a victim of a tragic acci- dent while jumping rope. We felt that donating to the fund was a good way to show what we do with our money, stated Sue Bryniarski, president of NHS. Foreign language honor so- cieites were beneficial to be in- ducted in to because colleges looked for students who had excelled in foreign languages. I feel the students involved in honor socieites have a distinct advantage in future life, stat- ed Miss Karen Vogel, Foreign Language Department chair- manq.l Quill and Scroll was an honor society for people who ranked in the upper third of the class and showed excel- lence in journalism. Studying for classes and be- ing involved paid off when one had the privilege of being in- ducted to an honor society. vite, Sue Bryniarski Lower Middle: French Honor Soci- ety: Front Row: Trang Nguyen, Mi- chelle Brown, Charlotte Banks, Lisa Martell, Laura Spindler jtreasjg Back Row: Shari Bobowski, Anne Larson, Natalie Mikolajczak iv. pres.j, Marnie Murphy ipresj, Judy Gawlik Above: NHS: Front Row: Sara Ville- gas, Gail Grazioli, Mary Zic, Saundra Large, Tonya Colquitt, Janice John- son, Beth Tashjian, Laura Spindler, Amy McLaughlin, Kathy Nagel, Trang Nguyeng Row 2: Adonya Seldon, Mi- chelle Brown, Laura Rogers, Dawn Ar- min, Beth Bradshaw, Sue 'Bryniarski ipres.j, Teresa Whitfield, Judy Gawlik, Carla Engelsbel, Lisa Martell, Dolores Carbajalg Row 3: Lynn George iv. pres.j, David Bjork isecj, Anne Lar- 1 s,,,,-QQN. son, Jose Jaques, Marnie Murphy, Shari Bobowski, Kevin Smits, Mike Renderman, Angela Carlomango, Chris Warchol, Debbie Matyasikg Back Row: Natalie Mikolajczak, Todd Carlson jtreasj Dirk Tyssen, Laura Thompson, Dave Ducat, Mike Bayr, Frank Ratkus, Joe Sepeczi, Tom Turek, Mike Griffin, Jen Campanile.

J 4 ,A- .qsiitiitgl Sw, Competitions keep students after school o matter what month of the year it was, spee- chies could be found lurking in A and B Building halls late into the evening. Speech competition, fall and spring plays, and group interp- fcontest play kept everyone busy from September through June. Speak Easy Club, the main body to which all speechies belonged, was in charge of planning fundraising and so- cial activities. Money raised was used to send students to national competition and to pay for a group trip to Great America. Speak Easy made it possible for theatre and speech people to get together and have fun outside as well as inside of school, said Speak Easy president, Laura Magnavite. In order to become a mem- ber of National Forensic League, one has to earn 25 points by competing on speech team. Service points were earned by speaking in public and by doing morning announcements. Degrees of merit, honor, excellence, and distinction could be attained by accumulating more points. NFL was strictly an honorary society, but its members were all active on the speech team. The Thespians were another speech honor society consist- ing of those involved in the production and performance of plays. Working on light, sound, makeup, stage, or technical crews could earn enough points to qualify for membership as could appear- ing in front of the footlight. l'm glad that I got involved in theatre my freshman year. lt's given me a lot of exper- ience that I will use later in life, said Thespian president and only 4-year member, Cece Castaneda. Whatever aspect of commu- nicating students enjoyed, one of the three speech groups held something for them. Op- portunities for involvement were available as auditions for plays and speech team were held, and Speak Easy opened its admission to any willing, hard working member.
