The secret of our success! It was 7:45 on a Tuesday morning. The halls of WHS were empty. Sud- denly, at 7:50 a.m., students began to arrive. These students weren ' t arriving to study for Chemistry or Trigonometry. They came for their weekly Student Council meeting. Members of Student Council are presidents and represen- tatives of classes and organizations. At 8:00 a.m., give or take a few minutes, Lenora Retherford, president, would call the meeting to order. Fred Al- len, secretary-treasurer, would take at- tendance. Next Scotty Burt, vice presi- dent, would make one of his smart remarks which Phillip Kreisler, reporter, would always find amusing. Then everyone got down to business. One of the main reasons for this or- ganization was to improve the school and make it a better learning atmos- phere. Topics that were brought out at meetings ranged from improvements in the school ' s facilities to planning Bas- ketball Homecoming. One of the im- provements which was made in the school was the purchase of a set of speakers for use in the gymnasium. The meetings would then adjourn and students would go to their first hour class. Many other things were accomplished in this organization this past year. The first order of business that faced the newly elected president was the eighth grade class elections. Also the president had to read the announcements over the intercom everyday. Everyone seemed to find this task an amusing form of entertainment. W-W-Well, I, I, can ' t really say that they are amusing, b- b-but... remarked Heather Lynch, junior. Kristi Burkhart, senior, a close friend of the accused stated, The funniest thing that happens when Lenora reads the announcements is that she talks too fast. Oh well, nobody ' s perfect! Student Council also successfully planned Football and Basketball Homecoming. To celebrate Christmas, an assembly was planned. A raffle was also held, the prizes of which included a Mr. Potato Head and an inflatable dinosaur. All these things added together made up the secret for the suc- cess of the Warsaw High School Stu- dent Council.

Average kept up despite schedule Faculty around the United States were involved at the beginning of each year in the choosing of those students to be a member of the National Honor Society. They were given a list of those students with the required grade point average or better. These students were then evaluated on character, attitude, and service. For example; the teacher would evaluate the student on the student ' s commitment to clubs and or- ganizations that they might have been involved in, their attitude towards school and teachers, and their ability to get along well with other people. The required grade point average varied from school to school. Some schools required a 3.5, while Warsaw High School only required a 3.0. With the many organizations that students were involved in, it was sometimes difficult to maintain a 3.0 average. Kris Nolle, senior, who was involved in drill team. Pep Club, softball, year- book, Madrigal, choir council, and cur- rently employed at G W Foods, said, I give up free time to do my school work. NHS officers include: Lance Ramsey, Treasurer: Becky Maddux, Secretary; Laura Cadger, Presi- dentj and Chris Thixlon, Vice-President. Lance Ramsey, senior.would rather be in bed than cleaning Pizza Hut ' s windows for NHS Hal- loween insurance. Photo by Kara Hash 40 national honor society designed by heather perry
