THE PROMETHEAN SOCIETY is found by the students to be one of the hardest to become a member of, for in order to do so a student must have an A in six of the eight grades that are received on his report card. Nevertheless we ha 'e one hundred and thirty five members. The president of this society is Blanche Freeland, the vice- president is Gertrude Burkett, the secretary is Marjorie Burke and Mrs. Eckman is the faculty sponsor. The Pro- methean Society has had two parties this semester. One was at the Slauson Playground and the other in our cafeteria. We have lots of fun even if we are the high brows ' of the school. THE PENTALPHEAN SOCIETY is another of the Edison honor societies. When this society was organized only thirty students were able to qualify for membership, and this year we have about one hundred and fifty mem- bers. To become a Pentalphean a student must excel in each of five fieldsg in scholarship, in school service, in physical efficiency, in character and courtesy, and in home service., The sponsor of this group is Miss. Conover. We are all proud of one student who has been a member of this so- ciety since its organization. Her name is Bernice Graham. At present there are almost twice as many girls who are Pentalpheans as there are boys, but the boys are gaining slowly and expect to catch up. THE HONOR ROLL is one of Edison's fine societies. Its membership consists of all students who receive no grade lower than B in a semester's averages. This society has grown many percent in size. Mrs Huxtable is the sponsor of this splendid group. Members of the Honor Roll have joined with the Prometheans and Pentalpheans in their parties and other good times. The growth of numbers in these three honor societies is a splendid evidence of the increasing interest of students in doing better Work and earning better grades. A, Page Sixty-three
