The Honor Society provides incentive for learning by recognizing those students who have attained a high degree of success in their studies, and sets goals for the students of the school. Those who earn A” in at least ten points of prepared courses and no grade lower than B” during the four quarters of eligibility (second and fourth quarters of junior and senior year) are chosen for membership. Honor Society members hold passes to the school library and are privileged to wear the gold M. Students who have earned membership during three of the four quarters of eligibility are distinguished at gradu- ation by wearing the red tassel. The Honor Society is a body of students whose common denominator is an ap- preciation and understanding of the world around them. Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Brown and Miss Flora Lutz, faculty advisors, the Society sponsors activities that will benefits its members. During the past years, the members have taken advantage of Boston’s cultural opportunities by visiting many museums and concerts. This tradition has continued this year by starting with the viewing of Is Paris Burning?” The annual sale of Red Raider decals at sports events and through the year supports these projects and helps to contribute to the Permanent Scholarship Fund. At induction ceremony, the meaning of the symbol M, representing Melrose High School and Man, is explained to every new member. The M holds the eternal flame of knowledge supported by the two pillars of truth, honesty, justice, and service. The Honor Society is a vital part of the students of Melrose High School who are seriously interested in academi c progress. The principles taught to them by the Honor Society will guide and enrich their future.
