The four aims of National Honor Society are to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate the desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. Eligibility on the National Honor Society requires that the student should have a grade average of 2.6 or above. Any extra-curricular honors the pupil has acquired are added to this. The entire honor system was devised by a joint committee of the student council and the fac- ulty fifteen years ago. Not more than five honor points are given from each department of the school. This system aims at preventing a few students from cornering, school activities to the exclusion of other capable students and to the detriment both of themselves and the activities. Not more than the highest 10 per cent of the class is choseng therefore only fifty people, on the average, are admitted each year to mem- bership. Although each applicant must be passed by all faculty members, only misconduct to a large degree, such as dishonesty and gross negligence of duty, would be sufficient for a teacher to vote against an individual.
