22 ECHO ACTIVITIES LYCEUM COURSE The Lyceum Course which was sponsored by the Booster Club consisted of the following numbers: Slout Players in “Wandering Spooks, October 25. “Absent-Minded Bridegroom, H. S. Play. November 22. Buckeye Male Quartet. December 7. Allpress Allstar Trio, February 9. The Booster Club was divided into two ticket teams and they benefited by good returns on the sale of season tickets. The attendance of the numbers was good, and as a result the members of the organization are pleased to state that the Lyceum Course was a success financially as well as otherwise. HONOR POINT SYSTEM In order that the desirable traits of citizenship may be developed to a greater degree and participation in extra-curricular activities encouraged, an Honor Point system has been made a part of Clear Lake High School. The classes are ranked according to their Honor Point average per pupil which indicates the real merit of each class. The upper 5 per cent of the student body according to points gained are awarded the Clear Lake “C at the close of the school year. The student council issues Honor Cards every six weeks, which are sent to the parents of the pupils who have displayed the following traits to the highest degree: Industry, courtesy, loyalty, regularity, punctuality, and re- liability. A pupil receives 10 Honor Points for each Honor Card he is able to earn. During the last weeks of school the student council submits five pupils from each class, from which each individual class elects their two Honor citizens. Space is too limited here to publish the entire Honor Point System but for every worthwhile thing that a pupil does in our school he receives a definite number of Honor Points. Honor Points are awarded for participation in all phases of extra-curricular activities such as basketball, orchestra, and declamatory. Some of the awards are as follows: Points For each semester grade of “A” 5 For each semester grade of B” 3 For each semester grade of C”------------------------------ 1 For each semester grade of “D” 0 For each semester grade of 'Cond'’ or F” .. —5 Report card returned later than one week after given out —5 Not absent for the semester 10 Not tardy for the semester 10 Member of Echo Staff 5 Member of Student Council-------------------------------------- 5 Captain of an athletic team 10 Appear on assembly program 3 The class sponsors keep the Honor Point records and the class standings are posted regularly. It is possible for any student to earn the Clear Lake “C” whether or not he is an A or a “D student. The seniors have been leading throughout the year with the Juniors a close second. The Freshmen have been able to outdo the Sophomores, of which they are proud. Who says we have class spirit? We all say so! The big scramble for points comes when a class attempts to put on the assembly program. If there are any slackers in the group they are conspicuous at a time when every member is anxious to make three points for himself as well as his class. The Honor Point system forms the basis for all activities in Clear Lake High School.
