HONOR SOCIETY' The Cumnock College Honor So- ciety, the membership in which re- quires a scholastic average of B or better, held several enjoyable and in- structive meetings this year. One of the society's finest discussions was presided over by Mr. Horace Craig, guest speaker. At another important gathering, Dr. Herbst, prominent in- ternational specialist, was kind enough to show the society travel- ogue motion pictures taken in In- dia. He also lectured on Indian man- ners and customs. To complete the social activities for the year, the members have planned several short trips, picnics, and dinners. lt is planned that these will be highly successful. Small in membership last semester, but gradually increasing despite the high standard ot requirements set by the college administration, the Cum- nock College Honor Society is pro- gressing in membership and increas- ing its high scholastic standing.

Student support and interest has greatly aided the debating and oratorical teams in their recent successful contests. Op- position in non-league debates with other high schools and colleges has been excellent, but the Cumnock team has maintained a surprisingly high average for a pioneering year. The national junior college question tor this year was, Resolved: That Congress Should Have the Right by Two-thirds Vote to Reverse Supreme Court Decisions Declaring Acts of Congress Unconstitutional. The for- ensics team consisted of the follow- ing: Baird, Linton, Alexander, Gray, and Pearson, Herbert L. Winans, Coach. lt is anticipated that the forensics department will be increased next year, for the success of those partici- pating during the preceding year was so marked as to arouse the great in- terest ot the student body.

'K HONO HIC-H SCHOOL IEAN HICKMAN, President Maintaining a surprisingly high scholastic average, and outnumbering in membership the college group, the Cumnock High School honor society has been quite successful under the presidency of jean Hickman. The members have held several meetings during the semester, and they have decided to purchase appropriate in- signia to indicate their membership. Besides being a group of honor stu- R SOCIE TY dents, these young people have al- most without exception participated enthusiastically in school activitiesg it is interesting to find that the hon- or society includes a group of peo- ple who are also outstanding leaders in student life. Providing the high standard of the past can be main- tained, the future of the Cumnock High School honor society is indeed promising. 48
