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.
