NJHS Gets Around ia |) Before a meeting, Mrs. Boone takes attendance. During a meeting, members discuss club plans. The National Junior Honor Society was chartered as the Presidential Chapter on May 24, 1976, the year after the eighth grade class was transferred from Harry A. Hunt Junior High. The Presidential Chap- ter consists of eighth and ninth grade stu- dents who display outstanding citizenship, service, leadership, and character, as well as outstanding scholarship. Most of the members were inducted in the seventh grade, although some were inducted during the second semester of their eighth and ninth grade years. Members of the Presidential Chapter went on a trip to Six Flags Over Georgia and “The Underground” in Atlanta, Georgia, during the fall semester. During the spring semester, the group went on a three day tour of Mount Vernon, Alexan- dria, Washington, and Kings Dominion. The expense of both of these trips were reduced through fund-raising projects such as doughnut sales and car washes. 29
