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.
