To be ad- mitted into the organization, one must be in the upper thrid of his class and excel in leadership, scholarship, character. and service. Selections are made by the faculty, and only five per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the senior class may be chosen each yelar. Four members of the class of '40 were initiated into the society at the e11d ol their junior year and 20 new members were initiated on May 16. M. A. M. STITIDENT CGUNCIL The Student Council this year took an active part in carrying out the new home room plan. Each home room consisted of about thirty students from one class. The home room period was the first twelve min- utes of every morning. The Student Council, supervised by Miss Scott and Mr. Lunan was composed of the president of each home room and the Student Council Executive Committee, Bill Cross, Edith Bowe, and Ruth Nolan. During the year the Council sponsored Homecoming, Home Room Discussions, As- sembly Programs, and helped to develop a friendly and cooperative feeling throughout the entire school. F. R. V.
