Pepe The National Honor Society is an organization of which many stu- dents would like to be a member. In November l6, 1925, the National Honor Society was started at Georges, when a charter was granted by the National Council of the National Honor Society. To be a member of this organization, a student must have an average of eighty-eight percent. A vote is cast by each teacher and by the old 111e111bers of the society. The new members are initiated into the so- ciety by a candlelight ceremony. The colors, blue and gold, are dis- played with ribbons tied to the candles. The pin worn by the members is an emblem of the Keystone with a flaming torch. The meetings of tl1e National Honor Society, wl1icl1 a1'e held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, are begun with the pledge of the society. The Christmas Tree Fund which was raised this year was sponsor- cd by the National Honor Society. The money that was collected bought a Christmas Tree and decorations. It was on display in the center of the stage during the Christmas season. The members chosen at the beginning of the senior year were: E. li. Winfrey, Gladys Vcrbus, John Morawa, Myrna Sutton, Dolores Gower, and Patricia Smith. The officers elected were: President, Geraldine Metz, Vice Presi- dent, Catherine Hench, Secretary, Dolores Ann Hudockg Treasurer, James Pepe. zz: 40 5:

There is always a treat for the spectators when they come to the football games and see the Georges Band make its appearance on the playing field. lt has fifty 1llCllllJC1'S who spent much time tllltl effort in learning the different songs. During the Fifth and Seventh period, the hand could he seen marching to the Stadium to practice their drills and formations and to learn new ones. The wind and cold did not stop them. The hand is led hy ten high stepping llltl-iO1'Clt0S, who do a wonderful joh during the hall' time with their aerohatics. During the game, the hand is not idle a minute. They are either yelling with the rest of the students or playing the popular school songs: HXVC Want A Touchdown, and Wl'here's a Great Gang that Goes to Georges? The hand with its energetic 1l10lllllCl'S, plays its nlusie with sueh pep and vigor, that the students surrounding thc hand join in with their voices. The hand has do11e a tremendous job in representing our school. lt has appeared in the following parades: GI Joe, Cll1'lSllllCtS, May Day, and Wlitehel Day. Tile instruments that make up the hand are: elarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trom- hones, haritoncs, hass horns, alto horns, and drums.

nh' Ghoawi ln the first week of Decemher, of this school year, the Girl's Chorus of Georges High came into existence. The idea had heen a long contem- plated one, hut prior to this time had failed to materialize. Mr. Gaal, our music instructor., called for try-outs from the Sopho- ll10I'C, Junior, and Senior classes. After careful speculation, fifty 'talent- ed girls were chosen. During the course of six weeks the I1llll1ll0l' lnount- ed to sixty-five. After the try-outs, there came three weeks of continual practice. Un Decemher 23, our Christmas p1'ogram 'took place and the girls llllltll' their dehut. The audience was hushed as the lovely songhirds, attireat in hlack and white, took their places on the dimly .lit stage. Witll a huge, heauti- fully-decorated tree as a haekground, they succeeded in conveying the Yuletide spirit to every listene1'. Their songs consisted of many well-loved Christmas carols. Again can he heard familiar refrains coming from the direction ol' the 1IlllSilf roo111. Their next appearance will he in April, when they will sing with 'the annual Band Concert. Congratulations are extended to Mr. Gaul, whose patience and per- severence produced such satisfying results, and congratulations also to Gola Petty, a talented Sophomore Who provides the piano accompanist. We, the students of Georges High School, are proud of our Girls' Chorus.
