Meaning of Honor Society Explained to RRHS Students

As the National Honor Society a s s e m b l y h eld in February a p p r o a c h e s , many RRHS'ers are s t i l l bewildered about the S o c i e t y ' s aims and r e q u i r e -ments .

Membership is o p e n to j u n -i o r s and seniors . Five per cent of the junior class and ten per c e n t o f the senior class are given this honor.

S t u d e n t s cannot apply for membership b e c a u se i t i s an honor bestowed upon the student by the faculty.

The teachers vote on the stu -d e n t s who are eligible, those in the top 25 per c e n t of their c l a s s . F o u r s t a n d a r d s are u s e d in the vot ing: character , s e r v i c e , l e a d e r s h i p , and scholarship.

Once a student is a member , he must c o n t i n u e to meet a l l these standards in order to r e -ta in membership .

The National H o n o r Society member has received a unique honor as the standards are not based on s k i l l or accompl ish-m e n t in only one area. It i n -v o l v e s not only the qual i ty of his s c h o o l work , but also the qual ity of his person.

R o c k y R i v e r High's new members will join the 289, 614 m e m b e r s in 10.759 chapters throughout the nation.

M e m b e r s hip is a badge of h o n o r a n d a goal w e l l worth working f o r .

The 1965 Dri f twood staff an -nounces i ts f i r s t annual Haiku Poetry Contest to be held Feb. 15-26, and also i ts subscr ipt ion dr ive to be h^ld Feb. 22-26.

Haiku presents an image in a way that suggests a mood, a thought, or even a phi losophi -cal att itude. However, Haiku can be w r i t t e n about a l m o s t anjrthing, and a l l students are u r g e d t o t r y f i t t i n g t h e i r thoughts into sy l lables .

Students are also enuourageu to submit any creative w r i t i n g for possible publication in the l i t e r a r y magazine. The D r i f t -wood w e l c o m e s any poetry, short s tor ies , essays, or other prose f o r m s , w r i t t e n in or out of class.

Who Locked Door? An action of the Board of Education which stops students f r o m going anywhere except home for lunch demands our immediate attention. We must not necessari ly consider the action i t s e l f , b u t we m u s t c o nsider the "why" of the closing of the lunch periods.

When debating whether the action was just i f i ed , we must r e c a l l how long the discussion reigned in Student Counci l . We may then remember that we were w a r n e d almost two months before the issue was brought before the Board .

We were warned that i f l o i t e r i n g , property damage, and l i t t e r i n g did not stop, action would have to be taken.

The "why" o f t h e r e s t r i c t i o n is apparent now. A number of RRHS students were not respecting the property of others , and the respons ib i l i ty which we hold of being a representative of this school.

The regaining of pr iv i leges depends solely upon the actions and attitudes of every student. By showing that we may be t rusted to take this respons ib i l i ty , we w i l l perhaps regain the confidence of the admin is t ra t i on . But we must not forget that the loss of this confidence was through no one's actions but our own.

Nils Notices Lack of Indians, American Swedish Meatballs Hi all of you.

It 's quite a long time since I wrote and I guess you begin to wonder if I sti l l live and have my scalp. I do h a v e it a l -though Ohio is supposed to be Indian country. In fact, to my great disappointment, I have-n 't seen a single Indian since I came here, e x c e p t for some baseball p layers , a n d no one COuid"cairTh'em dar igerdusT"

T h e school I go to is - - n a t -u r a l l y - - m o d e r n and big. A -b o u t 1300 students go to the school and it seems to m e that m o s t o f them are in my way w h e n I r u s h to class in the s h o r t , s h o r t f o u r - m i n u t e break.

Right now the second semes-t e r has just started and I have changed f r o m Amer i can gov-e r n m e n t t o sociology. A l -t h o u g h M r . Duke had a hard t i m e - - i t w a s def initely not one of t h e most quiet classes--he somehow managed to teach us q u i t e a l o t about Amer i can government. I know more a-b o u t i t t h a n I know about S w e d i s h g o v e r n m e n t . I t ' s q u i t e embarassing when peo-ple ask me to compare.

Otherwise p e o p l e are very

nice to me and try to make me feel at home. Some time ago t h e meatballs in the cafeteria s u d d e n l y became "Swedish meatballs. " As I never w a n t to make anyone disappointed I ate t h e m , although I 'd prefer something else,

I n o t i c e d qui te ear ly that Amer i can boys don't p a r t i c u -l a r l y l ike being dressed up. I get a reminder of that every

"time have~l;o jfnake a speech, ' a n d go to school in coat and t i e . P e o p l e keep asking me why I ' m dressed up. O n c e - -n e v e r m o r e - - I answered " I feel l ike i t " and was rewarded with a look s a y i n g something l i k e : That Swede's nuts !

For some unknown reasons I was made photographer of the River le t staff and the kids who go to c a n t e e ns rea l ly regret t h a t by now, but personally I enjoy i t .

As you cer ta in ly understand f r o m my l e t t e r , I ' m having a good t i m e . Maybe i t ' s easier to understand t h a t when I t e l l y o u t h a t my s ix months here h a v e b e e n 1 i k e s ix weeks.

ingenuity, the students put t o -gether a geometric display that can be s e e n in room 212. No other geometry homework was a s s i g n e d while the students worked on their projects.

"Everyone seemed to enjoy the change from normal paper work. I think they understand the p r o b l e m s since they've worked t h e m in three dimen-sions, " noted Mr. Seidel.

Seniors ^Duck' Police/ Return to Chase Goose

T E E N A G E T R O U B L E B I A K -E R S c a n c o m e f r o m Rocky R i v e r . Over 40 Rocky River high s c h o o l seniors were i n -volved in an incident two weeks ago last Tuesday that made the paper - -and the police b lo t ter !

In fact, that 's how they made the p a p e r . In the West Shore Post, i t was r e p o r t e d under excerpts f r o m the Rocky River police b lo t ter .

T o quote the police: "Jan. 21, 7:12 p . m . - - S c h o o l students who attempted to b u i l d snow-m e n o n f r o n t lawn of school bui lding w e r e dissuaded f r o m d o i n g s o by school p r i n c i p a l who pointed out t h a t lawn was newly planted. "

Actual ly , t h i s report is i n -complete and s l ight ly inaccu-ra te . T h e dissuasion was not conducted by M r . Bennett, but by a R o c k y R iver pol iceman. Off icer Middleton of auto brak-ing fame, I believe.

A l s o , i t was not given once a t 7 :12 p . m . , b u t s e v e r a l t i m e s . T h e l a s t verba l one

w a s at a b o u t 8:03, the last actual one at about 8:13. This f i n a l one was rather subtle a mere s w e e p ing of the f ront lawn with a searchl ight !

A f ter a g r e e ing not to build s n o w m e n o n the front lawn ( p a r t i a l l y because the snow wo u I d n ' t pack w e l l , anyway),

the seniors went behind and to the side of the school, and en-gaged in such s t imulat ing pas-t i m e s as " R e d Rover" and "Duck, Duck, Goose. "

T h e y a 1 so bui l t up a large "65" o n t h e side lawn which, h o w e v e r , melted the next day along with the rest of the snow. F i n a l l y , a l l students departed at a l i t t l e after 9:00 to work on neglected homework.

The camping t r i p s and short t r i p s to v i s i t re lat ives gave B i l l a V i e w of much of the rest of S o u t h A f r i c a .
