Parkersburg lligh School has acted upon the realization that they, like other first class schools of the nation, should have a chapter of the National Honor Society. The idea was set forth and discussed in the Quill until sufficient enthusiasm was aroused among the students to insure the organization of a real live chapter. The purpose of the organization is to create a sentiment for scholarship, higher ideals and moral standards, and service to the school and communityg also to stimulate leadership. He who would lie a memlmer must be ranked in the iirst quarter of his classes, that is for scholarship. It has, however, a far larger scope-for scholar- ship alone does not entitle one to membership. A minimum of 80 points out of a possible 100 is requiredg 60 being for schofarship, 15 for character, 15 for service and 10 for leadership. But-the batt e is not won when membership is attained. The same high standards must he not only reached hut kept by the students. The lirst step necessary to the organization of a branch of the Fifty-l our Honor Society here was for Mr. Stewart to appoint his faculty com- mittee consisting of four teachers who are: Miss Laura B. Moore, who was selected to sponsor the Torch, the name of our chapter: Miss Mary Louise Taylor, Miss Merrie Stewart and Mr. Steele. This committee, with Mr. Stewart as its chairman, then met and after much thought and investigation elected the ten students from the graduating class whom they deemed most worthy of membership.
