fldzllwna 47' Z CCICCII l 6' 0lfl0'C --6. john Carver .UUISC Sigmund Susanna Black Each spring when the day comes the membership of the new National Honor society a large part of the senior class is justly on edge. Scholarship, character, and service all go to make a senior eligible for the Nati al Honor society. This year 48 students were elected by the faculty as worthy to be members ofthe society veryone of them honored and respected by the student body in general. In former years the honor society members were named in two assemblies, one held in the late fall and the other in the early spring. For the last two years, however, the whole membership has been announced at an assembly held in the early spring. Only students in the upper third of the senior class are eligible for the honor of becoming a member, other- wise the choice is made on the basis of leadership and scholarship. This year the members of the National Honor society were named just before the Northwest Music con- ference was held, and the newly-elected members of the honor society were asked to serve as an ofiicial wel- coming committee. The National Honor Society, as its name indicates, is an organization in most of the high schools through- out the United States, and membership in it becomes especially valuable in view of the fact. The school board, out of the kindness of its heart, gave the students the pins for the occasion, a gesture much appreciated by the members, since the pins are rather expensive little things. These pins are shields with a torch standing upright through the middle of the shield. They are badges for any student to wear with pride. Since the organization of the society in Boise high school in 1925, 291 seniors have been honored by mem- bership. The creed of the National Honor society to which the newly-elected members are expected to pledge them- selves is: On my honor, l will do my best to uphold the high purpose of this society and make its ideal the ideals of my school. Immediately after the forming of the year's honor society the members met and named as officers john Carver, Doris Franson, Louise and treasurer, respectively.

COILIICZ aising money with which to purchase a United States Hag, rechartering all school organizations, making a slight revision of some awards, and the conducting of elections were the principal tasks undertaken and com- pleted by Boise high's governing body, the student council. lilected in April, l1j34'fSilVC the freshmen representatives-the council did not begin to function until its members had been introduced to the associated student body and duly sworn in by Karen Kieldsen, the faculty adviser, at an assembly in early September. The personnel of this ycar's council consists of Bob McDevitt, president, Jack Gasser, vice-president, Bill hloats, secretaryg Charles Corker, treasurer, Beth Alloway, corresponding secretary, Warren Cate and Harley Sullivan, senior class representatives, Grace Minson and Charles Finnell, junior class representatives, and Ruth Day and lirnest Day, sophomore class representatives. Bill Graham and joe Farley, freshman class representatives, were elected in February, as were the other ofiicers of the freshman class. The first task facing Boise high school's organ of government was the election of yell leaders. After much pondering and many tryouts jerry Hannifin was selected yell king, Charles lfinnel, the joe Penner of B. H. S., yell dukeg and .-Xlfreda Bardsley, yell duchess. The yell leaders were given bright red weaters trimmed in white. At an evening dinner meeting, Principal Zed I.. Foy presented an outline of possible goals and activities for the school as a whole. The budget for the year was read and discussed also. Class elections involve much work. Nominating conventions must be called, run-off elections held, eligi- bility of candidates checked, and last but not least, votes have to be counted. This faced the council in the fourth week of the fall semester. The upper classes' elections in September, the freshmen elections in February, and the student body elections in April were conducted entirely by the council with the aid of their adviser, Miss Kieldsen, and the office. Negotiation ofa permanent peace treaty with Nampa high school the latter part of September is nothing to be overlooked. Several regular meetings and one special meeting were spent in consideration of its objec- tionable features, and provisions for dealing with violations. Previous to this year the council met in the dean of boys' ofiice most of the time. When this was impossible the dean of girls' sanctuary was used. To avoid disturbance and lessen the amount of confusion resulting from the above system, bliss Kieldsen's room is being used, since she has no advisory. X According to the constitution the class presidents are considered honorary members ofthe governing body. The four class chiefs-Vincent Wells of the seniors, Billy Barrett of the juniors, jack Hannegan of the sopho- ' mores, and Beth Thomas of the freshmen -had the privilege of attending the meetings and making motions. -r E., First Row: Barrett, Moats, Finnell, Minson, McDevitt, R.

They are the newly-elected members of the Junior Honor society. Twice a year assemblies are held to introduce these members to the student body. To become a member of this organization is one of the highest honors an underclassman can achieve. The junior Honor society was organized by Principal Zed I.. Foy to give recognition to outstanding under- classmen similar to that the National Honor society gives outstanding seniors. The pupils are chosen by a faculty committee, headed this year by Miss Grace Berry. They judged on the basis of their standing in scholarship, leadership, and character. Once a member does not mean always a mem- ber in this club, for elections are for one semester only. This is a good incentive for members who must keep up their standing, and it also gives others a chance to be elected. The unior Honor society is perhaps one of the most representative groups in the school, as a student must not only have a high scholastic standing, but must also have several activities in order to be elected. Consequently this organization can boast of having everybody from musicians to athletes on its roster. To recognize this superior ability and leadership shown by students is the purpose of the organization, and the Junior Honor society has come to be recognized as a very fine addition to the clubs of our school.
