This organi- zation gives recognition to students in the upper third of their class, who, in the opinion of their classmates and teachers, are building their lives around the four principles of the organization, character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The fourth induction ceremony of the West Reading Chapter of the National Honor Society was held on February 17. Membership in the junior and senior groups is limited to fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class for the Senior Honor Society, and the same percentages of the ninth and eighth grades for the junior group. The Senior Honor Society officers were Christ- tine Showers, president, Doris Richter, vice- presidentg .lean Cuiiici, secretary, and Patricia Naylor, treasurer. The other members were Shirley Feick, John Thompson, Robert Ricken- bach, Carolyn Horn, and Donald Straub. Members of the Junior Honor Society were Lynne Ann Hagenbuch, Richard Klein, Joan MeKently, George Nagle, Larry Rentschler, Marilyn Wertz, Jeanette Fisher, Theodore Ga- briel, Nancy Holdeman, Florence Horn, Berna- dine Spangenberg, and George Strattan. One of the biggest projects sponsored by these groups, in co-operation with Student Council, was the Student Activities Conference held at West Reading High School. As a result of the conference, an All-Berks County Honor Society Dance was planned and held in the Mt. Penn High School gymnasium. The title for the dance was An Oriental Fantasy.
