STUDENT CUUNCIL TL'Dl'lYl' COUNCIL this year was very active as the legislatixe body of the school. Linder the able supervision of Mr. Radley. our adviser, the council accomplished more than the councils ol' previous years. Thu social committee made up a list of assembly programs for the year and sponsored dances at basketball games during the winter. The scholarship Committee with the aid ol' Mr. Hadley sent an application for membership in the National Honor Society. The athletic committee de- cided on awards in sports and made up eligibility lists. The traffic com- mittee provided ushers for school entertainments and the music contest. Plans for the handling ol' traffic at the music contest were discussed. Through action taken by the council, buses were provided for transportation to home basketball games. Every year the Student Council becomes more active in school affairs. The students should continue to recognize this splendid opportunity for self- government. P resident , ...,.. .,.. ....

NATIDNAL HONUIQ SCCIETY K ATIONAL HONOR SOCll'l'l'Y was nel- comed as a new organization this year. The scholarship committee with the aid of Mr. Hadley and Mr. jenkins drew up a suitahle constitution for the National llonor Society and sulmmitted it to national headquarters. A courte- ous letter was received welcoming Waterville Central School into the society and approving the constitution. A xery attractive charter was also sent and now hangs in our school office. Kappa Chapter was chosen for the name ol' this hranch. After careful deliheration, a committee consisting of faculty members chose the following as the first memhers of this select group: Florence Austin, Anne rllll0lHSOIl, Phyllis Thomson, Peggy 'l'ownsend, Doris Fuess, llctty Gilliland. and Ruth Beck. Candidates lor memhership in this organization should rank i11 the uppcr third of their class in scholarship. They should he natural leaders and should not he laclxing in initiatixe. school spirit. and responsibility. ln the yearly appointments not more than five per cent of the eleventh year class and not more than fiftecn per cent of the twelfth year class can hc chosen. Memhers of the society hecome graduate mcmhers as soon as they graduate from high school. Upon doing this they lose their power of vote. As recognition ol' their memlmership students receive an attractive emblem. Waterville is proud to he one of the few schools i11 this section in thc National Honor Society. The Kappa Chapter should serve as a stimulus for good scholarship and good citizenship in this school. Back row. left to right: Ruth Beck. Margery Townsend. Florence Austin. l lfilliland.
