SENIOR OFFICERS Left to right: Elizabeth Tessman, Harry Clarke, Mary Jane VanDuren, Bud Thomas. SENIOR PRESIDENTS ADDRESS HARRY G. CLARKE, JR. We have come to the end of our High School career. Let us not look back with regret at leaving these familiar scenes, but rather let us look forward with eager anticipation to see what tl1e future may hold in store. Though we can never again experience the joyous events of these past years, other and perhaps more wonderful things are awaiting us. Now we must step out into the world and make places for ourselves in life. We shall have to make themg they will 11ot be waiting for us. To do this some of us are going to college to gain knowledge in some particular Held, others are going directly into their chosen careers. But whatever we intend to do, each and everyone of us will need courage and determination if we hope to succeed in the broad full meaning of success. During the past four years, we have been ably guided by a group of people who were not only our instructors, hut also our friends. They have done their best to inculcate in us the things we shall need to know later in our lives. With these beginnings let us always march forward, ceaselessly striving to grasp more knowledge, to reach a point of achievement beyond that ever attained before. Thus the Class of 1938 shall prove itself to be worthy of this, our High School. Pczefm Q18l . is . l fi ...

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY LAURA FENN The National Honor Society, which corresponds in secondary schools to the Phi Beta Kappa in colleges, was introduced into Battle Creek High School in 1925. The first members were not chosen until l926 as the charter was not re- ceived until too late in 1925 for members of that class to be eligible. To be chosen as a member of the society one must have a rating of at least 2.2. Points are given on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter as determined by a committee of the faculty. The honor of being chosen as a member is given only to Seniors who have this rating. No more than fifteen per cent of any one class can be members of the group. This year the group was chosen the last of April and included more students than the group from any other class in the history of Battle Creek High School. The organization which had thirty-two members in l926 has grown this year and now has fifty-four. As a badge of membership to the National Honor Society, each member is entitled to wear a pin or watch fob. If a pin is chosen, a guard indicating the year can be purchased with the pin.
