Seraph Sisters Serve School ancl Community The Seraph Sisters, the sen- ior girls' honor society, was faced with an unusual situa- tion this year. In the years be- fore the Seraphs have num- bered about 98 or 100. ln the class of 1956, only 41 girls had a 1.6 or better grade overage which is a requirement for membership. In spite ot their small num- ber, the Seraphs had an active year. They participated in many school activities: pre- senting a pep assembly, giving a tea for new girls and holding the annual Seraph Swing. As their main project the Seraphs worked for the Wallace school for mentally retarded children. They made costumes for the Wallace school Christmas pag- eant and ushered at this event. The Seraphs also worked on the remodeling of a farm com- munity which will be the new location of the Wallace school. The Serophs were guided in their activities by their offi- cers: Rhoda Cinsberg, presi- dent, Carol Philips, vice-presi- dent, Karen l-ladley and Susie Porter, secretaries, Betsy Her- rick and Marilyn McMeen, treasurers. Mrs. Mary Moore, dean of girls, is the sponsor of the group. Listening to a report on Senior Girl awards are a QFOUD Of 5ef0Dl'1S-
