PRESIDENT:

"Leadership should exert a wholesome influence on the school. In taking the initiative in class and school activities, the real leader strives to train and aid others to attain the same objective. The price
of leadership is a sacrifice --the willingness to yield one's personal interests for the interests of others. A leader has self-confidence and will go forward when others hesitate. No matter what power and resources may exist in a country, they are ineffective without guidance of a wise leader. Leadership is always needed; thus, to lead is a substantive charge to each of our members and to the candidates."

VICE PRESIDENT:

"Character is the force within each individual which distinguishes that person from others. It gives each one individuality. It is that without which no one can respect oneself, nor hope to attain the respect of others. It is this force of character which guides one through life and, when once developed, grows steadily. Character is achieved and not received. It is the product of constant action, daily striving to make the right choice. The problem of character is the problem of self-control.We must be in reality what we wish to appear to others. By emonstrating such qualities as respect, responsibility, trustworhtiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship, we may hope to prove by example that we value character."

SECRETARY:

"Scholarship means a commitment to learning. A student is willing to spend hours in reading and study, knowing the lasting benefits of a cultivated mind. We should continue to learn even when formal education as ended; for education ends only with life. Knowledge is one great element in life which leads to the highest success, and it can be acquired in only one way --through diligence and effort. Learning furnishes the lamp by which we read the past, and the light which illuminates the future. Candidates have the charge to continually expand their world through the opportunites inherent in scholarship."

TREASURER:

"Service can be described in various ways. In the routine of the day's work, many opprtunites arise to help others. Willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without monetary compensation or without recognition, is the quality we seek in our membership. We are commited to the idea of volunteering our time and abilities to the creation of a better tomorrow. "

HISTORIAN:

"The historian's job, besides holding qualities of leadership, character,
scholarship, and service, keeps track of the NHS upcoming events and records memorable moments throughout the year by either taking pictures, recording NHS history, and working on the NHS website."
