These girls help the oihce staff, take complete charge of the civic room, and act as senior guides at the beginning of the semester. The council has in the last year given teas for the mothers of all 4-A students and has sponsored two candy sales. Both of these projects were effectively managed. The girls also sold candy at the performances of Adam and Eva and the operetta. On March 13 the annual St. Patriclfs Dance was given by the council and was, from every point of view, successful. The dance was held in the school gymnasium and a large part of Calumet attended. The girl in the blue skirt, white sweater, and blue emblem is now recognized by all as a member of the Senior Girls Council. Top row: Hamsa, A.Scott, Martin, D.Scott, L.

Maroon and Blue Staff Dorothea Misch . Chairman Mary Rita Smith . . . . St'c1'vffn'y NE of the many useful departments of the Calumet Rooters Club is the Maroon and Blue Staff. It is com- posed of girls selected for their high character and scholarship by Miss Fremont, the faculty sponsor. The main purpose of the staff is to be of general service to the school and to assist Calumet in every way possible. The citizenship race is the largest part of its work. This includes taking charge of student score sheets, supervising the sending of letters to the homes of students who obtained high averages for the semester, and sending invitations to the honor students invited to the honor dinner which is given once a semester. The staff also takes charge of the sale of fountain pens and ink Within the school and sometimes sells school pennants and caps. Occasionally they offer their assistance to relieve the office in times of pressure. No social activities are attempted by the Maroon and Blue Staff because it exists only to be of practical use to the school and is not at all an organization for social purposes.

Honor Society HE Honor Society of Calumet is a body which is repre- sentative of the highest scholarship in the school. Its members might be fitly termed the cream of the cropf, Their marks average ninety or more, and they stand in the upper fourth of their respective classes in scholarship. The project of an Honor Society was first developed in 1925, but not until the first year in the new building were any set rules drawn up for its regulation. Then, because of an extensive increase in membership, Miss McKinley, Miss Berle- man, Miss Duffey, and Mr. Dougherty compiled a set of rules for the organization. Later these were revised. For six years, the Honor Society of Calumet existed as an independent group, but this spring it was admitted to the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, the highest award which can be conferred upon the student body of a high school in recognition of scholarship. About fifteen per cent of the present seniors have been chosen as members of the national society. In order to be eligible a student must have had an E average for six con- secutive semesters and must have had no more than one final GU in any of these six semesters. Those chosen for this honor excel in service, leadership, and character, as well as in scholarship. The local society, exclusively a Calumet organization, re- mains in existence for the benefit of the lower classmen, since no one can become a member of the National Society until his senior year. .
