National l-lonor Society The National Honor Society is the highest honor to be gained by a high school student. Membership to the society is not based entirely on the grades received by the students who are selected, but emphasis is placed on character, service, and leadership as well. Students may be able to make good grades, but if they are unable to cooperate and unwilling to serve in a gracious way, the grades they earn are of little worth to them. Many students fulfill these requirements in part, but only a limited number meet all of them. This organization was first established in Tama in 1923, and since then has become the main goal of each student entering high school.

Declamatory Approximately fourteen students made real efforts to learn declamatory readings this year: of these, nine contestants were chosen to compete in the home declamatory on November 26. Bill Platt received a first place rating in the oratorical division, and Ethel Willer and Dorothy Overturf received firsts in the dramatic and humorous divisions respectively. These students journeyed to the State Preliminary Contest at Garwin on December 5. Bill and Dorothy brought home the bacon with first places, and Ethel received a second. The next declamatory experience for Bill and Dorothy was the Sub-District contest at Keystone, December 19. Again Bill was victorious, while Dorothy won a second. However, Dorothy received the highest rating of any contestant in that contest. t Bill Went to Traer Ianuary 22, to compete With more speakers in the Pre- District contest. Here a Traer boy, who later was a second place Winner in the State finals, was victorious over Bill, although one judge gave Bill a first rating. The contestants did unusually well this year, and the students and their director, Miss Bond, should be highly commended for their efforts,

Girlsl Sextette The sextette is composed of six girls, two representatives from each of the three upper classes. Five of the girls are members this year for the first time. The group has worked hard and was rewarded by winning a superior rating at the district contest at Vinton, Iowa. The members are: Edith Mason, Pearl Burton, Dorothy Morgan, Inez Zhorne, Iune Stigers, and Carol Shearer. Boysl Grlee Club This year's Boys' Glee Club has probably been one of the smallest in the history of the Tama High. It has also been one of the best. Although only 16 fellows went to contest, the glee club received a rating of excellent. It has made great strides in tone, blend, balance, and intonation in the last year. The boys' most popular performance was, without a doubt, the barber shop scene which it presented at the Musical Moments program this year. The group has appeared at many school functions and several times at the King Tower Cafe where they were invited to sing for various organizations. This year's glee club has really demonstrated that boys can sing and that they enjoy it. OFFICERS President ,,,,,,.,,,,,,, ....., N orman Kauble Vice President ....... . .
