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.

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.

VVhen looking back upon the activities of the club one can readily see that it has been one of the most necessary and valuable organizations of the school. The Boys' federation was conceived and organized by Mr. Edwin Adams, dean of boys. His aim was to have a centralizing influence operated by the boys themselves. In the past year the federation has been very active in Boise high school. An assembly for new freshmen was conducted by the freshman committee headed by Alfred Stone. This committee also helped the freshmen get used to high school life in other ways. The old traditional school yells have been augmented by original ones from the fertile brains of some of Boise high's own proteges. These have been brought to light by the yell contest, the prizes for which were offered by the boys. The boys hope to award a scholarship to the Boise Junior college at some time in the near future. Dick WVinstead was chairman of the scholarship committee which attended to this phase of activity. Marquand Gorton, as chairman of the social committee, conducted an all-school dance, using the railroad idea as theme. This committee also cooperated with the Girls' club in sponsoring a mixer earlier in the year. A worthy service was performed by the philanthropy committee in conjunction with the Girls' club at Thanksgiving, by collecting food, apportioning it in baskets, and distributing it to the needy of the city. Tom Shields was chairman. VVork in the federation was divided into three departments. Three of the committees before mentioned, namely: the freshman, social, and scholarship committees, form the personal service division headed by jerry Hannifm. The philanthropy committee, along with the committees on interscholastic relations, with John llewitt as chairman, and on civic relations, jack Hannegan chairman, comprises the community service department. Charles Finnell heads this department. John Hewitt's committee's function is to promote better feeling at school contests, while Jack Hannegan cooperates with the civic organizations when necessary. junior Parsons' pep committee built the bonfire used at the Nampa rally. The school service department, of which Keith I' was overseer, included also the traliic committee, of which Gene Howell was chairman, and the purpose of is to cooperate with the traliic problems. Clifford Darrah was to get of the driving cars to school, in needed in an emergency. First Row: Forney, Hannifin, Hannegan, Fletcher, Farley, Parsons, Winstead.
