LIGHT v M. Mi Ki-in. E. A. Hkhlciia THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY To encourage higher scholas-tic standards and desirable personality traits are the two basic aims of our newly established chapter of the National Honorary Society of Secondary Schools. Since the constitution allows only 15 percent of the graduating class and 5 per cent of the junior class to be eligible candidates, membership in the organization numbers seventeen seniors and four juniors. The club is under the supervision of Miss Murphy, Mr. Rerucha. Miss Maloney, and Mr. Deal who compose the faculty committee.

Look us over! We vc come a long way since we were freshmen. It takes some words from Carl Sandburgh’s Chicago” to describe this class, Bareheaded Shoveling Wrecking Planning Building, breaking, rebuilding Class of the Big Shoulders, we seniors possess the qualities to be and do all these things intelligence, perseverance, and ability. As freshmen we elected our class officers, Dana Debus, president; lleleu Nelson, vice-president; Ella Madsen, secretary ; Thomas Vavra. treasurer, and immediately took the lead in the race for top place on the honor roll. Our chance to get acquainted at the freshmen party made us the cooperative. smoothly-working group we are today. Assophomores we kept the first place on the honor rollas we did in the remaining years giving it up only once to last year's seniors. Officers during that year were: Thomas Vavra, president: Helen Nelson, vice-president; Lois Bork, secretary ; and Melvin Meyer, treasurer. Then came the junior vear! Time for us to show our dramatic ability and initiative. In the play Shirt Sleeves” we came through with flying colors and a bankroll. rLhe junior-senior prom was an unforgettable occasion for it was smoothly put on by the class officers, Thomas Vavra. president; La Verne Engel.vice-president: Helen Nelson, secretary: and Paul (rates treasurer, working with the various committees. In our fourth and last y ear, we 110 strong,elected:Thomas Vavra.president: Roberta Bove. vice-president; Mary Casino, secretary : Paul (rates, treasurer: we kept our high scholastic rank: gave two magnifi formances of Agnes Emilie Peterson’s play, The Eyes of Tlaloc make the junior-senior prom a success: and. in a word, made our the grand climax of a splendid high school career. Words are too futile to express our thanks to you. Miss Murphy and Mr. Rerucha. our sponsors. s humble freshmen we looked to you for assistance: as sophomores we blossomed under your care: your calm guidance throughout the hectic hours of preparation for the prom and junior and senior plays stabilized us: and now,as graduating seniors, we pause to thank you again for the main thoughtful hours spent in our behalf.
