THE MIND'S EYE PROVIDED A PLACE FOR CREATIVE MINDS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK With threats of death and destruction any students of West Valley who did no submit their short stories, photos, or artistically oriented projects, The lVlind's Eye staff got the 80-81 school year rolling. Probably the most noticeable differenc this year was the Mind's Eye sponsored apple-of-the-month awards, in which one teacher a month would be the proud recipient of a huge plastic apple full of real apples for the teacher to munch down during the course of the month. During the meetings after school on Mondays and with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Clark, the Mind's Eye staff drummed up new recruits, new support, and also new threats to spring on the unsuspecting students of West Valley. So for those students who had that certain ability to dream up a good short story, take amazing pictures, or doodle works of art on paper, the Mind's Eye offered an outlet for the literary talents.. The Mind's Eye will always make themselves heard, and they gave West Valley students a chance to be heard through their own natural talents. Ann Clark designs an 'Apple-of-the-Month' poster. Taking time out from their work, Mike McCarthy, Paul McCarthy, and Martha Batchelor prepare to crucify Clay Triplehorn. 50 MlND'S EYE

STRIVING FOR SUCCESS E L, NJ-LS. While v-Pres. Jennifer Brice offers im DISPL YED EXCELLENCE National Honor Society is an elite group of students chosen by the faculty in their junior year. These members have met demanding criteria in areas of character, leadership, service and scholarship. Under the guidance of their advisor Sally Allison, the busy year proved successful. For their initiation, these members were kidnapped from school, and were forced to wash car windows, then they were driven to Chena Hot Springs for a fun day of swimming. That day they had their first official meeting where they elected the new 1980-81 officers. The officers are as follows: Matt Colonell, Pres., Jennifer Brice, V-Pres., Mimi Lee, Sec., and Uwe Hollerbach, Treas. This prestigious group consisting of twenty-five Seniors undertook many activities during the year. To start the year out right, they entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, and held their annual Progressive Dinner. They also sponsored the Faculty Tea, and their Valentines Dance was a tremendous success. They decided to take on a new challenge by working on a Science Research Project for Ms. Pomeroy. During the winter months they located, gathered, and organized scientific information for the new resource classes. At the end of the year, they enjoyed the pleasure of initiating the new oncoming members, and planned a memorable induction ceremony in May. o cl ' e the books f r the ub s until he r 3 52 NHS viewpoint, Pres.
