The members of this society are selected by a faculty committee and are judged by their scholastic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities, general character, leadership, and service to the school in their three years of senior high school. The above group has met these requirements and has will- ingly oifered their services. The pmupose of the National Honor Society is to create interest in school activi- ties, to encourage the student to give his services to his school and community, and to develop his personality. By honoring the outstanding students, it is hoped that interest can be stimu- lated in the underclassmen also to achieve this goal. It is stressed that. a well- rounded education must include extracurricular activities. s -16-
