Membership is based on Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service, with twice as much emphasis placed on Scholarship as the other three. The Society started the year with election of officers: Jo Ann Chandler, President, Mabel Shuptrine, Vice-President, Tommie Jean Peacock, Secretary, Hazel Wilkinson, Treasurer, Ann Risher, Chaplain, Lynn Palmer, Parliamentarian, and Hanna Berger, Reporter. Proiects included a very successful book sale, ribbon pinning of honor role students, two impressive tappings, and the gift of a dictionary stand to an English classroom. For the first time an honorary member, Ulla Bengtsson, was admitted. The Honor Society presented her with the '59 class ring, A sizeable gift of Sl75 was given to the school for the purchase of new teaching equipment. The '59 National Honor Society closed the year with the distinction of being the first to wear gold tassels on their caps at graduation. Page 5l
