NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY x h Z f sri S 'f Q f 5 ' S W H Qi 1 Honor Society members recognize char- acter as the foundation of life, scholarship as the road to achievement, leadership as the abil- ity to inspire enthusiasm and service as the selfless devotion of time and effort to one's school. They strive at all times to en- courage and maintain these ideals in themselves and others. Selection as a member of the National Honor Society is .one of the highest honors bestowed upon a student by the faculty. lt is a recognition not only for achievement already attained, but for the promise these students show of continued excellence in main- taining the cherished ideals of the school. Guided by faculty advisor Mrs.Anita Stew- art, the Honor Society members at Com- monwealth have had a very interesting year. They will recall their Korean child Kim Ki Bae, and their disappointment when the eight year old boy decided to leave the orphanage. The selection of a career is one of the most important decisions of a person's life. The Honor Society was proud to serve the school by sponsoring a career dayfprogram. It was our hope that the entire school was able to derive some benefit from the weekly speakers.

K ldzleidvsmpe fdifors-in-Hhief This year, for the first time, the Kaleidoscope staff has been ftmctioning as anextracurricular activity rather than as part of a journalism class. Thus, all staff members are volunteers who truly enjoy the work in- volved in publishing a newspaper. After a rather slow start, the staff settled down to the many tasks at hand. Directed by faculty sponsor Mr. Kenneth Breslow, and Editors Lindsey Prince and Steven Lord, the Kaleido- scope has seen many innovations this year. The news- paper has become much broader in scope, ranging out- side the sphere of school activities for topics of interest to the youth today. Extensive coverage has been given to athletic events at our school, particularly the ex- ploits of our new football team. Given considerable liberty by the faculty, the Kaleidoscope has become a dynamic force for academic freedom. The editorial department, headed by Sherry Altman, has repeatedly featured vivid accounts of the varied life at Common- wealth. The Kaleidoscope has tried to serve a purpose beyond that of routine news-reporting, to serve as an out- let through which students can express their grievances and suggestions. The Kaleidoscope staff hopes that our aims - that of active service to the school - have been accomplished during the past year. lindsey Przhce sr as 4 fat , -1.
