National H onor S Ocie 13y Scholarship, leadership, character and service symbolize National Honor Society. These are signi- fied by the Honor Society Pin which is the shape of a keystone, with the emblem of a torch upon it. In our school, to be qualifted to enter the Na- tional Honor Society, one must he a Junior or Sen- ior, and have scholarship ranging in the upper fourth of the classes. The Juniors selected are not permanent members, but must be chosen again the following year. The members of the National Honor Society are chosen by the faculty. The number chosen is approximately 15 per cent of the upper fourth in the Senior Class and 12 per cent of the upper fourth in the Junior Class. The selection of mem- bers, takes place once a year, this day is called HTapping Dayfi Those chosen are tapped by aium- ni Honor Society members. Our first major activity was promoting a charity drive on woolen clothing sent to a school in Roland. To raise money, the Society sponsored two school dances during January and February. Refreshments were sold by the members. The purpose of the Scholastic Banquet, held March 23, was for recogni- tion of those who were on the semester honor roll. To encourage better and broader reading in the student body, the Honor Society sponsored a hook table. The long awaited and by far the most mn- mentous activity was the famed wrapping Duyii ex- ercise at which time the new members of the Honor Society were chosen. The officers for the year were: Arnold Stcvens, President; Kent Newmyer, Vice-President; Ilevefy Larsen, Secretary; Betty Baumeister, Treasurer and RUSS Schutte was the Sponsor. o. w Making plans for the banquet. 1 f

Through afliliation with the Science Clubs of America, the club receives membership certificates, helps with club activities and projects, and pins which signify membership in the SCA. The purpose of the club is to further the knowl- edge of science which will be helpful to the in- dividual, and to bring together students who share mutual interests. It is hoped that through this club and other similar organizations, more stu- dents will become interested in science and help to direct the ideas of our scientific age to the bet- terment of mankind.
