N H S IN A C T I O N C haracter, Leadership, Honesty, and Service were among the basic requirements of every National Honor Society m ember. Due to a new amendment in the constitution of the Burkburnett Chapter, members must have maintained a 3 .0 grade point average throughout their high school years. Twenty teachers chose the new members from among those found eligible according to their grades. If there were two votes cast against any one student, that student was elim inated. Finally, twenty-nine students were chosen as new members and were installed on October 16, 1976. December was the month for two of the biggest projects sponsored by the NHS, the candy cane sales and the teachers vs. students basketball g a m e . The candy cane sale was a great success. The club sold over 2 ,0 0 0 canes - three times the amount sold last y ear. Delivering the canes seemed to trigger the excitem ent and restlessness Christmas brought.
