The Algonac Chapter of the National Honor Society was organ- ized in 1940. Membership is based upon four qualities: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Since its inception, the organ- ization has taken in a total of eighty members, and the active group this year consists of twenty members. The officers for the first semester were president, Marlene Rzeppa; vice-president, Ellen Martin; recording secretary, Mary Ann Smith; corresponding sec- retary, Gerry Williams; treasurer, Lois Colling. The two main events looked forward to each year are the in- duction ceremony in the fall when new members are tapped, and the banquet in the spring which serves as a reunion for all members. The group has participated in many projects, but the main one is the sponsoring of a loan fund, which now contains over $300. This fund is to aid deserving students who need help to pursue higher education. 26

The Student Council is the representative group of the student body from the eighth through the twelfth grades for student government purposes. Under the new constitution which was written and passed this year, the council is now composed of sixteen member s, a larger group than we have ever had before in our school council. This year this group planned the all-high dances, made purchases for the betterment of the school such as the balco- ny curtain in the gym. All pep meetings and sponsorship of games were assigned toclasses by the council. The monitor system was planned and organized and is an important group working for the good of the student body and school. 25
