Mr. Snider then presented the members with certificates of membership. Those students to be the first to receive this honor from South Side were Robert Hickey, Dorothy Rinehart, Grace Coudret, Mary Jane Newby, Howard Craig, Gertrude Fawley, Lucille Lindeman, Sam Flem- ing, Rosanna Haven, and Dalma Anderson. All these students are well known South Siders and are indeed worthy of the honor bestowed upon them. On May 17, 1929, the torch was passed to thirteen new members who were in the June class. These stu- dents were Edward Grote, Pauline Thompson, Charles Gruenert, Marjorie Wolever, Betty Ward, Thelma Lare, Katherine Pepper, Clarence Bosselman, Wilma Swind- ler, Mary Graham, Doris Davenport, Ruth Buist, and Eleanore Rupnow. These students are honor students and are active in school affairs. They are also in the upper third of the graduating class. At this meeting Mr. Makey ex- plained the purpose of the meet- ing and introduced the speaker for . xi I 5,3500 og H- 4203 firml- the occasion, Professor J. Ray- mond Schutz, of North Manchester College, North Man- chester, Indiana. Professor Schutz was at first unde- termined whether to speak to the honor students or the others who were in the audience. He finally decided to spak to everyone and gave a splendid address on The Four Dimensions of Life. These dimensions, he said, are height, or achievements, length, or durance of age, depth, or foundations of one's life, and breadth, or the extent of one's learning. Professor Schutz's talk was made very interesting with many clever illustrations, the most appealing of which was his story of a Hindu boy attending a Y. M. C. A. convention. During the course of the convention Professor Schutz said, We decided to do something different from any- thing that had ever been done before, so we called an assembly at which each young man was to tell what his ambitions and hopes for the future were. The tes- timony of a young Hindu gentleman is probably the only one I remember, and am able to repeat. His words were, 'I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. But, by the grace of God, I am better than what I was, and I would like to be more like Jesus Christi These words are indeed worthy of a great deal of thought and should serve as a valuable suggestion for those who wish to live a life of service and struggle well won through. A student who conscientiously lives up to a creed of this kind cannot fail. Page I 7

The name Promethean was chosen for this chapter. The purpose of this organization is to encourage the stu- dent to live up to the highest ideals throughout his high school career, and to serve as a worthy goal for which one should strive, because membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor that the school can bestow upon any of its graduates. The members of this society are chosen on a basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. A student's ability to perform the tasks that are assigned to him, his conduct throughout his four years in high school, his ability to live up to high ideals and to en- courage others to do so, and also the things that he has done to keep up the standard of South Side-all these are taken into consideration in selecting those grad- uates who are worthy of such recognition. The students are elected to the Promethean chapter by a committee composed of five members of the fac- ulty. The teachers who acted on this committee this year are Herman O. Makey, chairman, Miss Milocent H. Work, Herbert S. Voorhees, Earl Murch, and Miss Mabel Thorne. They are privileged to select fifteen percent of the graduating class for membership, al- though they art not obliged to select this number. On December 17, 1928, ten graduates of the Feb- ruary class became the charter members of the Prome- thean chapter. A student assembly was held in the gym- nasium for the purpose of presenting the memberships. At this time Mr. Makey introduced Mr. Louis C.-Ward, superintendent of schools, who was the principal speaker. The subject of Mr. VVard,s talk was The Three Men. He spoke of three types of people, the semi-skilled work- men, the skilled workmen, and the managers of men. He stated that it dependson the education one has re- ceived as to what class one will belong after leaving high school, and that it is the duty of every high school student to strive to do what he can do best to the best of his ability and to become a leader of men. Mr. Ward also stressed the fact that one must not forget the importance of scholarship in relation to social activi- ties, and that there are other things in school life besides sports and dances. After the address Mr. Makey explained the qualifications of members of the Honor Society and displayed the replica of the pin. These pins are somewhat like those of the Phi Beta Kappa, hon- orary fraternity in universities and bear the letters S. L. C. and S., which stand for the four qualifica- Nmoua , ' Hom: um - gui.
