'Felecled as juniors N rational H onor Society Admittance into the National Honor Society is one of the highest goals that a student at Bloomington High School can attain. Qualifications for membership are based on scholar- ship, character, leadership, and service. Each spring seniors from the upper fourth of their graduating class and juniors from the upper ten per cent of their class are elected by the Bloomington High School faculty. A survey of the faculty suggested a new method which was used in the election this year. All juniors and seniors were ranked on the basis of scholarship. Then the upper five per cent oif the junior class and the upper fifteen per cent of the senior class were placed on an eligibility list. This list was turned over to a faculty committee appointed by the principal which elected members on the basis of the club's four requirements: scholarship, character, leadership and service. The newly-elected members were initiated during an impressive senior high convocation. Members from the previous year spoke of the foundation prin- ciples of the society and presented pins to the initiates. The annual social event of the National Honor Society and the highlight of their year was the formal banquet preceding the Junior-Senior Prom. The officers of the National Honor Society were elected in the spring. The officers for this year were Bill Stuckey, president, Nancy Thompson, secretary, and John Pomeroy, treasurer. The vice-president was a junior and was elected later in the year. The following students had the honor of being elected to the National Honor Society in their junior year: Melinda Baganz, Mary Bales, Leslie Carmichael, Marilyn Freeman, Mary Jane Gilpatrick, Nancy Hauck, Mary Kathryn Johnson, Janis Morgan, Marian Pressler, Brenda Robertson, Judy Sowers, Sharon Sparks, Tom Stuart, and Bill Stuckey. The sponsors of National Honor Society are Mrs. Franklin, Miss Rector, and Miss Rucker. Thi: page Jpomored by BOWER AND SONS

Members of the junior-Senior Hi-Y saw the Youth for Christ movie, Going Steady. They heard the Reverend J. D. Burton use a duck-hunting experience to point out to them that the main thing in life must not be neglected. They were in- formed by Missionary Hendon Harris that they ought to put Christ first, others second, and themselves last. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create and maintain and ex- tend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character. The platform is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The freshman- sophomore Hi-Y conducted the annual Mile of Pennies drive to raise money for food for needy families at Christmas. The club also assisted in the Easter Convocation. Two parties were held during the past school year. Tlaif page Jponfored by BENAVOLE-LINCOLN-MERCURY-CONTINENTAL-ENGLISH FORD

Early last spring the new staff was chosen. The real planning began when Judy Sowers, Leah Terrell, and Ann Chadwick, editor, business manager, and photographer, attended journalism Insti- tute at Indiana University. There the theme, The Key to Our Future, was chosen to co-ordinate the fiftieth anniversary of the Gothic with Bloomington High School today. We wanted to show that our school has changed physically, but the purpose is still the same. The duunmy, the real foundation of a yearbook, was started at I.U. As soon as school began, the staff began selling ads to businessmen and taking pic- tures. To honor the anniversary, the gold and white cover was designed. September, October, and November were filled with taking pictures, writing copy, drawing page plans, and selling Gothics. The days became more hectic as our first deadline loomed ahead of us. When March 11, the final deadline, came, we all breathed a sigh of relief. We had all worked hard to make the 1959 Gothic one to be proud of, the best in fifty years. Ann Chadwick is shown the complications of the business side of the Gothic by Judy Sowers, Leah Terrell, and Mrs. Hobbs. Thu page Jpomored by THE BOOK NOOK
