The Cum Laude Society was founded fifty-one years ago by Dr. Abraham W. Harris, head-master of a private school for boys in Port Deposit, Maryland. The objective of the society is to reward scholarship. Classical High School's Chapter, established in 1921, has the distinction of being the first in any public school of America. To be eligible for the coveted honor of membership, a student must be in the top twenty per cent of the graduating class. Outstanding character, in addition to scholastic ability, is necessary for membership. Mr. James F. O'Neil, our principal, is the President of Classical's chapter, while Miss Charlotte A. Wethe- rell is Secretary, and Mr. A. Forest Ranger serves as Treasurer. The Executive Committee consists of Mr. Charles J. McMillan, Mr. A. Forest Ranger, and Miss Dorothy Slocum.
