Centralian---T930 27 National l'lonor Society HE National Honor Society is the only purely hon- orary society at Central. ' The members are chosen each year during the last few months of school on the basis of their scholarship, extra-curricular activities, and character. The Central chapter, which was organized in 1922, was the first chapter to be organized in any Missouri High School. Election to membership is determined by a faculty committee. Any student who has ever been guilty of dishonest conduct or truancy becomes ineligible. To be eligible to election, a student must rank in scholarship among the upper twenty-five per cent of the senior class. However, not more than ten per cent ot the class may be elected. The average, or index of scholarships is obtained by giving number values to each grade recorded in our Senior High School. E counts -lg S, 35 M, 2g 1, lg F, 0. The sum of these grades is divided by the total number of grades. Two non solid credits count as one solid. Gymnasium and R. O. T. C. credits are not included. A student may be elected to membership if he has an average of 3.5 even though he has no honor points. Honors for extra curricular activities are based on competition. popularity. and appointment. No student can count more than two honors in the five point column and minor honors are also limited. In no case can two honors in the same activity be counted twice. either by duplicating or by pyramidingg for exam- ple, three is the maximum for participating in plays. A students combined scholarship and honor rank is found by adding to the grade average the total number of honor points. divided by ten. The grade aver- age must be at least 2.6 and there must be enough honor points to raise the aver- age to 3.5. An honor point is deducted for every five cases of tardiness. Until a few years ago, one-half of the members of the society could be juniorsg but this plan proved unsatisfactory at Central. Students who have been in Central one year only are ineligible according to the National Constitution. The object of the National Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholar- ship. to stimulate desire to render service. to promote leadership. and to develop character in the students of Americas secondary schools.
