Honor Scoseiety Being chosen as a member of the National Honor Society is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a Senior. Students work diligently throughout their four years of high school to obtain this singular recognition. The faculty elects the members from those who rank in the upper one third of the class in scholarship. Their choice is based on four very important phases of the life of a high school student. They are character, scholarship, leadership, and service. A student chosen for this must have eleven credits in the fields of mathematics, science, languages, history, and English. Not more than 15 per cent of the class can be selected. On April 6, 1945, Mr. lgo presented the following six seniors with the award: LaVerne Buckles, Leta Huntley, Mary Pat Mullen, Johanna McNulty, Bob Mc- Donald, Ted Lough.

Student tjcovtiiimcnll The Student Council was organized for the purpose of promoting student self-government and of cooperating with the principal and the faculty in making and enforcing school laws. Specific activities of the l944fl945 Council were as follows: keeping the magazine and paper racks well-arranged, selling tickets for National Assembly programs, keeping order in the halls during noon hours, and in the mornings, and planning assembly programs. At Christmas time the members ofthe Student Council, with Mr. lgo's help, cut and decorated a tree for the student body. They also wrote Christmas letters to all former G. C H. S. students in the armed forces. ln addition, the Council and the Mothe rs' Club worked out a schedule by which refreshments for school dances were served by the different classes. This year the Student Council members provided games, such as ping-pong, Chinese chess, checkers, and cards for those students who did not wish to dance.
