DOROTHY KNAPP, President NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A chapter of the National Honor Society was formed at Garden Home High School during the school year 1940-41. The sponsor of our local chapter is Miss Helen K. Bailey, principal. A charter was awarded through the courtesy of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. The five charter members of Garden Home High School were initiated on January 12. The requirements of the society are that a student be an all around pupil. Election into the ch-apter is based upon character, leadership, scholarship, and service. The student must have a B average and must have attended Garden Home High School one year. Selection for membership is made by the faculty. The charter members of the Garden Home High School chapter included Dorothy Knapp, Presi- dent: Bonnie lean Edwards, Vice Presidentp Twanette Kauble, Secretary: limmie Quinn, and Betty lean LeCrone, all members of the class of '4l. Two Iuniors, Hugh Bradley and Laura Sorensen, were elected during the 2nd semester. The regular meetings of the National Honor Society are held the first Monday of the month. The club members all work in the school office and one of their projects is the organizing of the student activity points. The purpose and ideals of the organization are to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stim- ulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of Garden Home School.
