we Wafiona To become a member of the National Honor Society is the highest award that any high school student may receive. This spring, as in every spring since 1928, when Eastis chapter of this national organization was founded, ap- proximately fifteen percent of the senior class received this distinction. The members were chosen by the faculty for their excellence in studies, and their outstanding ability in extra- curricular activities during their four years. It all began when, as freshmen, they wit- nessed their first National Honor Society as- sembly. They discovered that these seniors were being honored for their high scholastic ratings. Then, they recognized that all the members were those to whom they had looked as their leaders. They had discovered the first two principles for which the society was founded-uScholarship,, and HLeadership. A vow was made then, that when they were seniors, they would be one of :those to receive the small pin with the torch and scroll, em- blems of the society. During their sophomore year, these students viewed another award assembly. This time, since they were older, they realized that those who became members were not only good stu- dents and Teaders, but that they possessed that something which was called Hcharacterf' They became aware of the fact that these qualities were not selfishly hoarded, but were used in service to others. These, then, were the four principles governing the election of the mem- bers-MScholarship,'7 4'Leadership, HChar- acter, and Service.', Again the vow was onor Sociefy made that when they became seniorsg they would be among those honored. . As juniors, their interest was even more intense as they watched their friends making out activity cards, having them signed by fac- ulty advisers, and then submitting them to the faculty committee, composed of Miss May Farr Hiatt, Miss Evelyn Gilchrist, Mr. John N. Broadlick, Mr. Ralph Tiefel, and Mr. Paul Day. They were thrilled to think that next year, they would be the ones who would do these things. At last on May 8, 1947, their fondest hopes were realized. On that day, they, too, marched down the aisle, across the platform, to receive the small pins with the scroll and torch, -and the four letters symbolizing the four princi- ples. They had reached their goal. These students became members of the 194.7 chapter of the National Honor Society.
