The theme was based on that of King Arthur and his Round Table. Each newr member was dubbed a knight’’ of the NHS by its president. Mary Topper. Picture at top right shows the president dub- bing” Robert Burkett. The ceremony opened w ith four members delivering speeches on leadership, scholarship, character and ser- vice—the four requisites necessary to become a knight” of the society. The names of the 32 inductees, twenty seniors and twelve juniors, were then announced. These new members were chosen by secret ballot of the faculty from a list of all eligible seniors and juniors. As each name was called, the candidate approached the presi- dent, knelt and was dubbed a knight” in the National Honor Society. To conclude the ceremony, the 20 members drank a toast to the 32 inductees for their suc- cess in the NHS.

Humanitarian Is Most Active Club One of llie largest and most active clubs at Forest Hills High School is the Humanitarian Club. There are 140 clues paying members in the organization. It has a varied and well rounded program of activities. With its altruistic purpose the club has been very beneficial to all con- cerned. Monthly meetings, or oftener if required, are held to outline and discuss activities as well as check on the progress of existing projects. One of the club’s major projects is the sponsoring of four children through the Christian Children’s Fund and the Foster Parents’ Plan Inc. A 812.00 fee must be paid monthly for each “adopted” child. This mon- ey is used for the education and welfare of the child. Several mem- bers of the club act as a correspon- dence committee and they write to to the children and directors to learn of their progress. Another important program spon- sored by the club is that of the foreign exchange student. This is done in co-operation with the Inter- national Fellowship Program. A For- est Hills student is sent to a foreign country for ten weeks to attend school and to get a first hand look at the customs, tastes and philosophy of that country. All expenses incurred by the exchange student are paid for by the Humanitarian Club. A third worthwhile project of this organization was the sending of Christmas packages to area service- men in Viet Nam. The club donates to needy and worthy causes when possible. This year it purchased a portable color T.V. for Mark Grassar, a sophomore at Forest Hills, who has been para- lyzed due to a swimming mishap and unable to attend school. In order to pay for the above projects the Humanitarian Club held two successful sub sales this year.
