NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Although it is one of the lesser known and more select groups in W-H, the Na­ tional Honor Society fulfills several func­ tions in the school. As its name implies, the W-H NHS is actually a branch of a nationwide organization, comparable to the Key Club. Every year, juniors are se­ lected by the faculty on the basis of aca­ demic record and personal character. As seniors, these students form an active core of the following year’s NHS, although more seniors are inducted into the soci­
ety at graduation.
In the beginning of this year, the seven
NHS members held officer elections un­ der the supervision of faculty advisor Mrs. McMullen. Seven positions varying from Secretary to Historian were created in a burst of goodwill so that all members would possess a title after their names. To increase autonomy, the purchase of sweaters bearing the society monogram was discussed along with several fun­ draising proposals.
However, the most important practical function served by this organization is the tutoring program. Students exper­ iencing academic difficulty can speak ei­ ther with a society member or contact Mrs. McMullen, and tutoring sessions are organized with a member who is free dur­ ing the same periods. More often than not, all the involved students benefit from the relationship as can be attested by improved grades and satisfied ac­ counts by tutors.

HALL PATROL
The hall patrol is a group of students
who volunteer their time between classes to keep the halls in order. Though others believe that they took the job 'just to get out of class” the true hall patroller is dedicated to his/her duties. Their main concerns are to keep the halls spotlessly clean and to eradicate loitering in the halls. The patrollers have carried out this great responsibility admirably although this was only their second year in exis­ tence.
The hall patrol performs an invaluable service during the hectic inter-period minutes of the school day. Various meth­ ods are used by the hall patrollers to en­ force rules. Senior Karen Lomnitz relies on the guilt trip, while senior Alex He- lander, leader of the ”B” deck patrollers, uses violence to keep his deck in order.
