With the opening ofthe school term came the beginning of a campaign for student participation in government. Early in October the home-room presidents Went to Clearfield. Here they were fav orably impressed with the high school, which was functioning under a student council. In January We were further helped by Clearfield when Mr. Mead, principal of the high school, came to DuBois and spoke to the entire student body. iiEarly in February a committee, consisting of representatives from each class, was chosen to draw up a constitution. After this preliminary work had been done, the afternoon of February twenty-eighth was set aside for the real organizing. At that time almost one hundred percent of all the students decided to have a student council in D. H. S. and pledged themselves to its support. iiThe Student Association is made un of an executive committee, consisting of ten students, and the student council of thirty students. The ex- ecutive committee acts as an advisory board to the student council. It must ap- prove all decisions made by the council, must sanction the dismissal of any mem- ber of the council, and it alone has the power to grant permission to a student to hold office in the student council once he has been dismissed. All applica- tions for charters by organizations and all petitions must be approved by the executive committee before they can be acted upon by the student council. The executive group may suggest any policy or any activity which it deems beneficial to the school. With this fine organization established in our school we have a bright outlook for the future.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A few of our Crew IIZLIFC Iwerz f'A'l'l'1IIffIIldl sailorsg they have received the praise of their superiors. Membership in the National Honor Society, an honorary organization for Seniors, is a treasure highly prized. The number of members for any one year cannot exceed fifteen per cent of the class enrollment. They are chosen from those who rank among the upper third scholastically. This year from the fifty-two pupils who fulfilled the scholastic requirements twenty-four were chosen because of outstanding leadership, character, and service. These twenty-four were considered the best all-round pupilsg they had shown not only an ability to lead but also a Willingness to co- operate when others ledg they had been worth-while citizens of our school. 1lDuBois High School is a progressive school and has for many years of- fered students the privilege of belonging to the National Honor Society. However, the group has never been an active one. There is a possibility that in the future five per cent of the junior class will be chosen during the latter part of the sixth semester. To this nucleus ten per cent of the senior enrollment will be added during the following' year. This group will be expected to establish certain objectives toward which they will work. This should make the National Honor Society mean more to its members and should also raise the standard of the school.
