Senior Officers IOSEPH lONES President ' PETER ZANNONI Mantle Orator IOHN REISER Treasurer Senior Class History Twenty-two AST September the Class of '40 started on the final lap of its high school career, determined to make this a year to be remembered forever. With this thought in mind their enthusiasm was boundless, and soon every activity at Coughlin picked up as a result of such spirit. As the time for senior elections drew near an atmosphere of suspense seemed to spread through the halls as each person wondered if his or her favorite candidate would pool the necessary majority. Finally on Friday, March 8, this suspense ended, for three of Coughlin's best-known and best-liked students had been elected: Ioseph Jones, Ann Drugan, and Iohn Reiser. Peter Zannoni was elected last year. Four Wonderful years have passed, and it is With great regret that the Class of '40 leaves the halls of Coughlin. ' ANN DRUGAN Secretary

HROUGHOUT the United States there are many high schools which yearly receive a small percentage of their upperclassmen as members of the National Honor Society, an organization corresponding to the Phi Beta Kappa of colleges and universities, which aims particularly at the recognition of outstanding work in scholarship. Members are chosen by Mr. Super with the aid of the faculty and are judged not only upon scholastic standing but also upon character, leadership and service to the school. The lucky members are announced at the close of the fifth interval and are officially recognized on graduation night when their names are again read by Mr. Super. Certifi- cates are given to each member as Written proof of his accomplishment and all are able to purchase the keystone-shaped pin bearing the Words National Honor Society over a torch of knowledge. Anywhere in the United States, this pin is recognized and respected. Many Couqhlin organizations claim the people of this society as officers and many of its members star in the various dramatic productions of the school. Several are on the Board of Publications, both as Writers and ad gatherers While others more musically-inclined claim singing or playing as their chief interest. Every field of Coughlin's activities seems to meet when this group is gathered. What better inspiration could the younger students desire, than the example set by this year's Honor Society?
