Car Wash in the spring ... impressive Initiation, November 1960— CHARACTER: “That which a person truly is, the sum of qualities by which a person is distinguished from others . . . includes a strong sense of responsibility, promptness in living up to it, honesty to oneself and to others, high moral principles, strength of conviction, and the courage to express it, courtesy, unselfishness, good-sportsmanship, the ability to do what is best although it may not be what is most pleasant . . . It is our duty to strive to improve our characters so that by being better citizens of the world, we may work for a better world. (Ruth Spivack) SCHOLARSHIP: “Education is a preparation for broader service to mankind . . . The unlimited heritage of the past falls to him who truly seeks, through thoughtful study, to come into his inheritance . . . Because he knows the past and has learned about the present, the student can wisely make the future something more than chance ... All of us arc endowed with unlimited mental possibilities, but the scholars arc those who nurture and develop these possibilities to perfection . . . This perfection is within the reach of all, but he who desires this must earn it by a faithfully hard and tireless effort which is never lost but instead, returned with manifold blessing. (Roberta Scpucha) SERVICE: ‘To attain the fullest life, one cannot live for himself alone . . . Those who serve others are repaid with the personal satisfaction and feeling of good will that come from within . . . The origination of service in youth produces an adult who will be of benefit to his country . . . The true essence of service lies in the simple giving of oneself, one's time, and one’s ability wherever there is need.” (Paula McCrensky) LEADERSHIP: The ability of a personality to guide others into action ... In order to benefit humanity, it must proceed from a genuine affection for mankind, and, of course, a strong character . . . There must be sacrifice, humility, courage, and self-confidence in leadership . . . Since the stability of democracy now hangs in the balance and we desperately need inspiring and capable leaders, it is hoped that the members of the National Honor Society, who have already proven themselves leaders during their high school careers, will accept the challenge and become leaders of courage and faith in the future.
