National Honor Society Established by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Honor Society combined the efforts of the separate local honor societies into a single nationwide endeavor. Its constitution was drawn up in 1921, and the following year the official emblem and form of charter were adopted. The idea expressed was that the fundamental objective of the high school should be the realization of American democratic ideals, and meaningful recognition should be given to those most nearly attaining the desired goals. Through the efforts of the student council, a Harlem chapter was chartered on March 5, 1951, under the sponsorship of Mr. Paul Mann and Mrs. Dorothy Wood. Since then each spring the Harlem faculty has rated for nomination to membership the top junior and senior students, based upon excellence in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The present fifteen members were elected in the spring of their junior year, only 5% of their class then eligible. At the impressive spring ceremony before the student body, candidates were inducted, having attained a goal, yet only a steppingstone, in the ever upward path of knowledge. This year the Harlem Chapter received the high honor of being invited to install a National Honor Society chapter at Hiawatha High School, Kirkland. Considerable effort on the part of Mr. Mann and the fifteen members went into preparations and the completion of a new plaque. Mr. Moore, Mr. LaLoggia, Mr. Mann, and the members made the trip for the ceremony held in the Kirkland auditorium. Mr. Moore presented the new charter to the Hiawatha principal. The processional of candidates to be inducted, led by the robed Harlem members, was followed by a scries of short speeches on the ideals of the society. The oath administered by president Daniel McLcvige and the prayer by Andra Hotchkiss preceded the recessional. A reception in the home economics room ended a most successful and rewarding experience.

Mr. Bicncma and Mr. Hyde, the PEPPER expanded from its four-page status to a larger-than-ever-before ' twelve-page publication. Students involved in producing the new PEPPER first learned the fundamentals of journalism at a seminar conducted by the Rockford Register Republic last fall. Armed with valuable information and filled with pride at the praises heaped on their paper at the seminar, they returned home with many new ideas for improving the content and format. The layout—a new word for many staff members—improved with each monthly issue, as did the advertising and the articles. At times it seemed improbable that the entire staff and the advisors would end the year on speaking terms, but in the end a mutual sense of accomplishment pervaded. All who worked on the PEPPER will agree that there is an incomparable feeling of satisfaction in knowing that a job is not only done, but done well. 1 BOTTOM ROW: D. Lilagren. K. Thumb m P. Teastct.
