THE TORCH SOCIETY The Torch Honor Society was organized at Edmonds High School for the first time this year and has completed a very successful year. There are at present twenty members. Five Seniors, who will retain their Torch pins, eleven Juniors and four Sophomores. The Seniors wear the Torch pin, the Juniors a two-bar pin and the Sophomores a one-bar pin. To be able to attain your first pin, one must have acquired twenty-four points; a two-bar pin, fifty points and eighty points to become a Torch- bearer. As points can not be carried over from year to year, a Senior must earn thirty points to get the required one hundred ten points in order to have permanent possession of the Torch pin. The members have taken active part in all the affairs of the school. A banquet was given for the Torch members and their friends. The room was beautifully decorated in purple and gold. After dinner several speeches were given. This was one of the important social events on the school calendar. ELIZABETH GERDON. T vuenty'seven
