Honors to the Highest The National Honor Society has been the s:hool's highest and most outstanding organization since it began in the year 1938. We had long wished to pay tribute to intelligence and were delighted when we received our charter. lt added new zest to learning, and pupils became conscious that book knowledge must be mill if character, leadership, and service are lacking. Grades, character and leadership alone aren't enough. Students who are eligible members should maintain a loyal school attitude, coupled with honesty, reliability, promptness, and morality at all times. In order to become a member of this society a probation period of one semester is required followed by an initiation service for full membership. The students who are now on probation are Fred Schaub and Doris Shellhaas of the lunior Class. From the Senior Class Virginia Ellis was recently nominated to full membership. We challenge your best and trust that your names too will appear on this Honor Roll. -IAN ELLA CORBETT Fall Festival A delightful Fall Festival, sponsored by the Seniors on November 4, proved most interesting and exciting to a capacity audience, who indulged freely in the many amusement tricks and carnival gags set up as money making schemes. Bingo seemed to have its share of patrons, while many folk found dancing more to their liking. An auction of pies and cakes, topped off with a turkey raffle, closed the first big event of the school 50115011 -NixTHAN1i51. LAXVSON The junior Carnival One of the closing events of the year 1944 was the Iunior Carnival, a lively night sponsored by the Class of '46, There were so-so dancing in the gym and refreshments in the cafeteria. The concessions were held,in other rooms and in the downstairs hall. A rallle and auction were the highlights of the evening. Many attended and participated in the events of the program. -VmoiNrA ELL1s Poinsettia Prom Christmas comes but once a year But when it comes it brings great cheer. So said the Seniors, No time to be calm. And on December 16th they presented The Poinsettia Prom. The day found us all happy and gay, Each in the mood for swinging awayg Work to be done? Decorations? You bet! False ceilingg lights . . . the floor to be swept. Refreshments? Yes. l knew you'd guess- Cookies, punch-only the best. Then came the fun . . . formals galoreg Music, music! More and more! Tempus Fugetw -l curfew time, Home again, home again, mind! mind! Mama, you know, is watching the time. Thus ends the story of The Poinsettia Prom, Left in the memory of each Senior mind. -ANNA HULL POINSETTIA PROM

Athletics Our boys, our athletes of today, have in reality trained themselves for hetter soldiers to go out and win the victory, that will cause the hand to swoop up and again reach for the Master Switch. Not only will we have champions from this school in basketball, but in the future they will he champions in every sport or activity in which they may be engaged. -SHIRLEY PAUL
