O THE NATIONAL CONSISTICNT with the aims of the Har- per educational program, scholastic ad- vancement has been the outstanding achieve- ment of the past year. Scholarship was given an impetus by the recent organization of the Harper Chapter of the National Honor Society. The object of the organization is Hto create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the students of Harper High Schoolfl Character is recognized as being demonstrated by such qualities of personality as honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, and morality, as are indispensable to the finest young manhood and womanhood. For membership, a student must have an average of 2.5 in his major subjects and must pass in all his minors. The prospective member must also do his part in supporting the intra-curricular activities of the school.
