Its members serve as hosts and hostesses at many school functions, and vol- unteer to give their time and efforts to worthwhile school pro- jects. New members are chosen every year on the basis of schol- arship, character, service, and leadership. They must have at least an 85 per cent average, and must receive a good per- sonality rating from teachers and present members. At the in- duction ceremony, they take an oath to uphold the traditions of the Society, and to serve it to the best of their ability. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Leeth Florey, the National Honor So- ciety has become a constant source of service and pride to the school.

The purpose of the club is to send cards to students who are ill for four days or more, to send cards of sympathy when a member of a student's family dies, and to send flowers if a student's mother or father dies. The money is raised by contri- bution. Ten cents is the amount recommended to carry the club through the year but less is ac- ceptable. Meetings are held dur- ing the assembly period on the fourth Monday of each month. Regular attendance is essential. 123

This duty involves typing, filing, and sort- ing of books and catlogue cards, and the circulation of the books. They also have the responsibil- ity of sending out notices of re- served and overdue books. In addition, they perform many mechanical duties, such as, shel- ving, helping in the processing of books, and in the care of film- strips. Office and Guidance Staff The General Office Staff con- sists of girls, both juniors and seniors, that volunteer to sacri- fice their study hall period to work and receive experience in the office. Each period there are specific jobs to be done. They consist of typing, filing, prepar- ing the attendance bulletin, writ- ing absence cards, fixing the daily bulletin, distributing mail, running errands, and doing any clerical work pertaining to an office. Most of these girls are seniors, and those in the Secre- tarial Course receive extra cred- it for the marking period. Be- sides performing office duties, they are also an aid to all teach- ers wanting a job done.
