These letters were sent to the parents, and they, in turn, were to inform their son or daughter of the highest honor any high school student can achieve. This year twenty students were elected, twelve seniors and eight iuniors. Membership is based on scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Each of these were explained during the eighteenth annual induction held in May. The ceremony was viewed by the entire student body and parents of the honored students, and highlighted by the presentation of plaques, certificates, and review of the activities of each member. A tea for the parents and members followed the ceremony. Judy O'Brien, lighting the candle of Scholarship, is symbo- lizing in this induction ceremony man's search for knowl- edge.

Am Clayites take time out from their busy schedule for activities. Ev- ery other Wednesday at l2:3O, clubs meet for 45 minutes. Today's teenager has many varied interests. The extra-curricular program at Clay is designed to take care of these interests. Activities are a way in which the non-athlete can distinguish himself. Our prize- winning marching band offers the chance to win a letter. Science, mathematics, art, debate and clramatics, chess, and music clubs are offered for those interested in these activities. Our Hi-Y and Y-teens are high among the schools in service projects. We begin training for our vocations while still in high school. We have Future Teachers and Future Nurses Clubs. Ample opportunity is given to those who like to work on the COLONIAL and MINUTEMAN staffs. Our chorus develops singing ability. National Honor Society is not only a schol- astic achievement, but it also includes character, honor, leadership, and service. Activities play a large part in building our social char- acter.

Jiucfenif meni This year commemorates the second anniversary of the Student Council at Washington Clay. lts 24 members representing each home-room have ren- dered all Clayites a great service. The main purpose of the Student Council is to help create a better student-faculty relationship. Since they are the voice of the student body, they relay to our faculty the things we students feel are necessary for the betterment of our school. This year in their crusade against trouble they supervised the playing of the iuke box and also reminded the students to return their coke bottles so these two privileges would not be taken away. In Operation School Spirit they sold Colonial badges to help boost team spirit and encourage stu- dent enthusiasm. We will all agree that this has been a profitable year. Thank you - Student Council. Charlotte Cartwright, efficient president, hands over the gavel with its honor and responsibilities to Jack Emmons, president for the coming year.
