Where does she get all of that energy? From Wheaties or vita- mins ?Q She was the one who directed the all-school play which we can truly say was a success and helped to make possible our trip to Shawnee. As Student Council members we can t imagine what we would do without her! She is definitely the indispensable woman!

THE ATIUNAL HONOR SOCIETY These students have attained one of the highest honors in Ardmore High School, that of being named to the National Honor Society which includes the upper ten percent of the Senior Class. Seven of these were select- ed at the end of their junior year. At the first meeting of the year, it was decided that in the spring when the other seniors and the top five percent of the junior Class become members, the society will honor the boy and girl of the Sophomore Class having the highest scholastic rating. The officers of the year were: President, Helen Herberg Vice-President. Don Atkinsg Secretary, jim Mc- Murry. Others honored in their junior year were: Peggy Bonneau, Kenneth Prowant, Betty jo Renick, and joanne Sullivan. Those elected in their senior year were: Georgia Boyer, Elizabeth Ciaylor, Beth Ann Pound, Melba Phipps, Hellen Cleelt, Colene Shinn, Margaret Maher, Evelyn Halpin, Par Byrd, joan Scott, Memory Smith, Gene Ledbetter, jack Hammett and jim Hill. XY hen Ardmore's chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1926, Mrs. Lillian Schenk was selected as sponsor. For the past twenty- one years she has faithfully held and expertly filled the duties of this posi- tion. Her qualifications to lead these honor students are apparent in the fact that she received the following scholastic honors while attending the llniversity of Missouri: Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Lambda Theta. and Phi Alpha Theta. l Besides sponsoring this group, Mrs. Schenk teaches Spanish and Ameri- can Literature. To prepare herself more adequately she spent the summer of 1946 studying in Mexico. She would be an asset to any faculty and every x 1 f member of the National Honor Society appreciates her tireless leadership.
