In order for a person to be eligible for the National Honor Society, he must have a scholastic av- erage of 85 or above. After his scholastic standing is de- termined, he is then chosen on the basis of service to the school, leadership, and char- acter. The purpose of this is to create an interest in be- NATHJNAL.

1' Mark hiiv Four times a year our school puts out a paper called the Black and the White. Each class has its turn. This paper consists of editorials, literary selections, school news, sports, and special features. The juniors had their turn first and put out a Christmas issue, with Claire Colwell as editor. In addition to Christmas stories, the issue fea- tured a section of senior limericks. The sophomores had the next turn and chose Jeff Snowman as editor. This was a Valentine issue with appropriate poems and stories. A special added attraction was a sec- tion on Crash Records. Next came the freshmen, who had gained some knowledge from the other two classes. Theirs was an Easter issue with Martha Snowden as editor. A particularly amusing feature was the the book dedications. The seniors came last with a Com- mencement issue. In it, they had the short stories and poetry that they had written as English class work, also accounts of their class trip to Washington, and their most remem- bered e'vent, graduation.
