Baird HI-Y KEY CLUB To overcome an early year financial crisis the club carried on a series of fund-raising projects. The most elaborate of these was the sale of Aerosol shoe polish. The club also sponsored several dances and worked with the Circle K Club in selling refreshments at Ohio Wesleyan University social functions. Most of the business of the club was handled by committees. This left time in the club meetings for a program. Don Shaw, chairman of the program committee, presented a num- ber of interesting speakers. Other committees were the project committes under Alan Hackel, the social committee headed by Dave Landsittel, vocational guidance led by Bob Gallant, interclub committee under Larry Hopper, and sergeant at arms headed by Terry Heineman. In addition, a house committee consisting entirely of freshmen was set up to put the library in order before and after meetings. 49

Jaccaud NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service are the four qualities which are taken into consideration in selecting members of the National Honor Society. Sixteen Willis seniors were taken into the society this year when the twenty-fourth annual initiation was held on April 16 in the auditorium. ' A - Mr. Graham gave the welcoming address, speaking brieiiy on the history of the organ- ization. Miss Whitted then read the names and qualifications of the prospective members, sixteen in number. The students then went to the stage, where the initiation ceremony took place. Five Willis alumni, Frances Alter, Judy jones, Nancy Wickham, jerry Allen, and Robert Max- well took part in initiating the new members. Mr. Iames Blair then gave a speech to the assembly, containing the truth that you are what you resolve to be. After the assembly ,the new initiates were honored by the teachers at a banquet in the Colonial Room at Buns Restaurant. Robert Maxwell gave a short after-dinner address telling the' students that they must accept the responsibility of this award as well as the honor. The present policy for the election of members, adopted in 1952, calls for a ranking of eligible students in each of the four qualities on which the selection is based. These rank- ings are averaged together and a single class ranking is obtained. Pupils must be in the upper third of their class scholastically to be eligible for Honor Society consideration. The National Honor Society originated in 1921 through efforts of Edward Rynearson, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University. Today there are more than 5,000 chapters in high schools throughout the country. It is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. - 50
