Mr. Jack Matthews The honor which all Central athletes strive to reach is the National Athletic Honor Society, which was organized at Central in 1929, with six charter members. The society tends to create fair play and clean work in sports and to stimulate a higher scholastical standing. The requirements for membership are that he must have earned one letter in a major sport or two letters in minor sports. He must show the highest type of sports- manship and citizenship and must have an average equal to or higher than the general school average. This club is entirely honorary and therefore no meetings have been held to discuss future plans except those meetings necessary for the election of officers and further N organization.

Tower Club Sponsor, MISS FREDA NEAL. The Tower Club is t'entral's own honor society, and it was organized in 1921 with four charter members. Miss Freda Neal is sponsor of the club. The society has no officers and is purely honorary, therefore, any student who is able to meet the re- quirements is eligible for membership. The members of the organization are allowed to alter the requirenients if necessary, The Tower Club symbolizes the traditions and the background of our school. The high tower of Central has been the very heart of the building ever since the school was built. lt is honored and loved by all who are a part of Ventral. Thus, it is fitting that one of the greatest honor societies of the school be named for the tower. The requirements include leadership in extra curricular activities and scholastical work. The requirements are divided in accordance with the point system, and each candidate must reach a certain level before being admitted. A student does not need to be of senior classification to be admitted, but may enter as. soon as the necessary number of points are gained. As a Senior B a total of 250 points are necessary, 25 to 50 of which may be from activitiesg a Senior A must have 325 points and 35 to 70 may be obtained from activities. This induces students to participate in extra curricular activities as well as to strive for higher scholastic standing. ' scsfx as -vr saw' 16
