THE ARDSLEYAN 7 THE HONOR SYSTEM OF THE ARDSLEY HIGH SCHOOL To give public recognition to those pupils whose services bring honor to our School, and to enlist their active aid in the betterment thereof, the Student Council devised an Honor System which has functioned with in- creasing success for the past two years. Honors are based upon three-month units, and call for the development of all round proficiency in scholarship, attendance, athletic ability, and ser- vice. These requirements are within the reach of almost any pupil who will work. The first award is an emblem, representing three months perfect at- tendance, good scholarship, and athletic ability. The High School award is a monogram, and a service requirement replaces the athletic test. Six months of perfect attendance, good scholarship ,and a service to the school result in the award of a service ribbon. The High School award is a service bar. Having completed the service, they take an athletic test instead. The final award is a sterling silver Honor Medal, mounted on a ribbon bar pin for the girls, and a watch fob for the boys. This represents nine months of scholarship, attendance, school service, and athletic ability, and entitles the holder to membership for one year in the A. H. S. Honor Soci- ety, which will be described later. The second year awards are made on the same basis. In 1925, gold medals will be awarded to the pupils who have qualined for medals for three years. The Honor System is financed by the Student Council, which has de- voted to this purpose the proceeds of the annual Physical Training Exhibi- tion so successfully conducted each year by Miss Willoughby. The athletic requirement may be waived by the Council in case of physical disability. The Honor Awards are made by the representative of the Board of Education at the Honor Assemblies held in the Auditorium at nine o'clock on the first Friday of each month. Mrs. Goehren has been present at every Honor Assembly to make the awards. During the school year 1922-23, 127 emblems and monograms, 70 service awards, and 28 medals were earned. During the school year 1923- 24, 124 emblems and monograms, and 87 service awards had been earned up to May 15th, and at least 50 medals will be awarded this June.
