. HEADS ABOVE THE REST By Debbie Weatherman ational Honor Society and Speech and Debate are both organiza- tions for academically oriented atudents. The students that are involved in .hese clubs are usually students who excel. The National Honor Society CNHSJ, 'ounded in 1921, is a national organization sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. It's purpose s to uphold standards of excellence in the ireas of scholarship, character, leadership, tnd service. This year at West, there were 66 mem- mers. Each candidate for NHS must have . 3.2 grade point average CGPAJ since the ninth grade and a 3.2 QGPAJ in the quar- er prior to being tapped, to be considered. Then each candidate is selected based on eadership, service, and character as well .s scholarship. After candidates have been selected, hey are made aware of their selection by .ctually being tapped by a current nember of the NHS. Usually several nembers will go to a classroom to tap a iew member. The National Honor Society was very ielpful to the school and community dur- ng the 1986-87' school year. The most mportant contribution of the NHS was he tutoring program provided for stu- dents at West. They offered their abilities to help tutor any students having problems with a subject in school. Erica Riefenberg was one of the many NHS tutors. When asked how she felt about the program, Erica sais, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I can help someone improve their abilities in a sub- ject. The Speech and Debate Club is de- signed to improve one's ability to effec- tively communicate in public. There were approximately 20 members in the club, and they were always willing to take new members. When Melanie Wilcox was asked about her first year as a Speech and Debate member, she said, The most important thing of Speech and Debate is keeping up with the meetings and practices. The Speech and Debate Club helped the school throughout the year by represent- ing West at state tournaments. The mem- bers of the club earned points to qualify for the tournament. The tournaments were held May lst and 2nd at High Point Central. Speech and Debate and National Honor Society are both clubs that involve stu- dents at an academic level. These clubs have given West a way to record academic success outside the classroom.
