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

Placing second and third were Mrs. Ridenour’s homeroom 121 followed by Mrs. Ferebee’s Homeroom 123. There was no one close to Janice Mason for the ti- tle of Super Junior of the Year. She did more work than any three Juniors combined. She also took over the job of Junior class vice president in February. Mrs. Thompson is not a teacher at Wilson, yet she gave 32 of her nights to help run the concessions for the night school so that the Juniors could raise money for their dues. She also came to every Junior class sponsored dance. Without her the Juniors could not have had a successful money raising year. 30 : Sy Super Junior Janet Mason concentrates on ay Mo .
