The TROJAN EXPLORERS of (he ISOTHERMAL —Bill Pfautz At the end of each school year conies the call for the very best, the cream of the senior class, to try a flight to the greatest heights possible in high school life. This most honorable planet is called the National Honor Society, and only four or five seniors each year have the chance to ascend to it. It was discovered in 1900, and thirty-six of the 1,000 mountains (active chapters) on it represent the state of Kansas. The motto of this planet is represented by the letters S. L. C. C. Only when one is proficient in Scholarship (S), Leadership (L), Character (C), and Service (S) to the school, may he hope to attain the distinction of wearing the keystone and flaming torch. Those eligible for election to the space ship which carries the lucky ones up into the sky must be in the upper fifteen per cent of their class in scholarship. Secret ballots are cast by the ground crew (faculty) and the votes are counted by a committee, those few far ahead of the rest being elected. The charter members, or those who have been fortunate enough to merit this reward since the expedition was organized in the City of Troy are: Josephine Cole, Maxine Petterson, Rachel Donabauer, Winifred Leslie, and Robert McClelland, graduates of the class of 1931; Mary Ag- nes Hicks, Opal Moran, Paul Hodler, Paul White, and Boyd Finney, of the class of 1932; Elma Babbit, Florence Crown, Agnes Peden, Maxine Lagle, Wilma Rees, Martha McMahan, and Ralph Jordan, of the class of 1933. This year’s members are: Mary B. Miller, Dorothy McClan-ahan. Birdie Yocum, Rosella Bunch, Gerald Bassford, and Ruth McCall. The officers of the National Honor Society are: President .....................Mary Agnes Hicks Vice-president .......................Opal Moran Secretary .......................Winifred Leslie Treasurer ....................Rachel Donabauer On April 4, 1934, the six new members were initiated into the society. Mr. E. M. Chestnut, principal of the Beloit High School, administered the oath, to which the new members responded with the pledge of the society: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the National Honor Society to which I have been elected; I will be true to the principles for which it stands; I will be loyal at all times to my school and will maintain and encourage high standards of Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. Seven alumni were present at the ceremony. They were: Mary Agnes Hicks, Maxine Lagle, Wilma Rees, Agnes Peden, Paul Hodler, Paul White, and Boyd Finney.
