National Honor Society Scholarship . . . Character . . . Leadership . . . Service. These four Words meant success to any school student who wanted to meet the necessary factors to gain entrance to the Wildwood Chapter of the National Honor Society. Each year the faculty has selected a group of students meeting these requirements who could lead other students, serve the school, retain high marks, and have good characters. The seniors and juniors were full-fledged members while the sophomores were but probationary members. President Leon Mazzotta, Vice-President David Brown, Secretary Kathryn Braidwood, and Treasurer Beulah Davidson were the student leaders. Mr. Herman Gulick, Mrs. John Croker, and Miss Marie Fath were the advisers of this group and led many interesting discussions on topics of value. Some of these were debates on personality, wedge jobs, practical or academic education, and the like. Semi-monthly meetings were held Monday evenings in the school's library. The National Honor Society contributed to the sports equipment of our school with the ping-pong table, which has been in constant use throughout the year. In order to obtain funds with which to get the necessary materials for the annual Egg Roll, given to the first and second grades of all the Wildwood Public Schools at Easter time, the society gave a series of noon- hour dances. These were eagerly patronized by the student body. Reading from left to right: fFront rowj B. Davidson, D. Brown, L. Mazzotta, K. Braidwood, F. Leps. 1 fSecond rowj A. Patton, E. Burkhardt, A.

SHT AH Y At the end of every quarter, a very popular periodical is published for Wildwood High School students. Under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Davis, this magazine has furthered its popularity by gaining top honors in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest. The contents of this book have been used to broaden student knowl- edge and help develop appreciation for better literature. Editorials have promoted a spirit of cooperation and friendliness both within the school and in the city. It helps teach pupils to become better citizens. In its many interesting pages it contains jokes, literary productions, poems, alumni news, and facts about the school. The magazine purposely carries a very large staff because of the training it gets in English. This in turn provides a source of excellent stories for the periodical. Jokes, both by the students and from the exchanges, are not only enjoyed by the high school students but also by city oflicials, so it has been rumored! Anna Burkhardt, three years a staff member, is the capable editor of Ship Ahoy.
