TOPS LIST - S.C. GOVERNS Honor Society members are carefully planning the initiation of upcoming junior members. Members of the Student Council are discussing their order of gold honor cords for the new members of the Honor So- ciety. Character, scholarship, leadership, service—these are the key words upon which the National Honor Society is based. In order to be chosen as a mem- ber of the Honor Society, a student must maintain an average of 90 or above. He must also exhibit the other necessary qualities before he will be initiated into the organization. The Student Council is the voice of the student body. Its main function is to act as mediator be- tween the administration and the students. The sponsor, Mr. Lyle Fodnes, and president, Bruce Engel, work togeth- er to promote harmony in the organization. Perhaps one of the busiest committees in the council is the courtesy committee whose respon- sibility is to send flowers and cards to students who are hospitalized during the school term. is
