Struggle! Pray! Hope! Sleep! And work some more! And what for? Why, to get into TAU EPSILON Pl, of course! Davis, own brand of Quiz Kids experi- enced the above emotions to achieve the highest all-scholastic honor awarded at our school' membership in Tau Epsilon Pi. Those three mys- terious Greek letters actually only represent an illustrious organization of brilliant students, who, after two straight years with an average of eighty-five per cent or better and no mark below seventy-five per cent, were privileged to wear 48 .

Butzberger, the shiny gold pin symbolizing their achieve- ments. Each member could probably tell of the time spent in calculating percentages, stretching points, and doing extra work, all with one goal in mind. Also not to be forgotten are the agonized moments these candidates spent at the bulletin board, scanning the newly posted list for the familiar nomenclature, the indignant dash to Miss Low to see why they were not mentioned, the sigh of relief upon finding out that the omission was merely a mistake. Naturally, for some geniuses, it was all merely a matter of course, and there was no extra work, worry or anticipation involved. However, the effort was all repaid in the end by the ample reward received from acquiring mem- bership in Tau Epsilon Pi-that of having been worthy of a great personal honor and having made one's years of work at Davis worthy of remem- brance and recognition.

Freedenberg Mt: Childs will be free in a minute, said the girl with a smile, as she looked from her homework-covered desk. Plagued with visions of 200's on his col- lege boards, the nervous Davisite took his place in line to wait his turn. Minutes later, he went forward to hear his fate, encouraged by the girl's friendliness. He knew she was one of the RE- CEPTIONISTS, the chosen few who traded study periods for the opportunity of serving Mr. Childs. She, like others before her since 1941, looked upon this familiar scene for a moment and then returned to her neglected homework. In order to bring the activities of the Hilltoppers'9 to the attention of the residents of the community there appeared at intervals in the Daily Argus , under the sponsorship of Mr. Copp, a column entitled 'GDAVIS DOTS AND DASI-IES . The alert Davisites pictured below managed to be at the right place at the right time to get news. They presented an ac- curate record of the major events at Davis, as Well as honoring those Davis students who man- aged to achieve an average of 90 per cent or better. R. Piersall, N.

These are the standards of the NA- TIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, whose symbol is the flaming torch. It was in 1922 that there first appeared at Davis a chapter of this society, which extends throughout the United States, Alaska, and the Philippines. Its members, the worthiest in the senior class, are chosen by the student body and the faculty. Every spring and fall new members are initiated into the ranks of the Society at an in- spiring Honor Assembly. The job does not end here, however, for the National Honor Society was one of the most active organizations at Davis. The Leadership Committee devotes itself to rep- resenting Davisg Scholarship workers tutor stu- dents who need extra help, the Character builders help busy teachers and proctor classes in case of a teacheris absence, Service helps whenever necessary, giving make-up tests and co-operating with the Parent-Teachers Associa- tion. This year, as a new activity, members started computing lists of all those who bavc belonged to the Society since 1922. This list will be valuable if and when an alumni organization is formed. - 1 C . 1 V .

Each year the Society and all Davis Honor Students are guests of the P.T.A. at an honor dinner. Parents and friends are also invited to spend an interesting evening as a last memory of the best of high school days. The National Honor Society truly repre- sents the best in Davis, and it is an organization of which we can be justly proud. 49
