NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Left to right: Jane Price, treasurer; Jeff McMurtrey, president; Dave Hinshaw; vice president; Lynn Thompson, secretary. The highest honor to which a high school student can aspire is membership in the National Honor Society’s chapter in his school. Members were chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and service. Individuals thus chosen have the National Honor seal affixed to their diplomas upon graduation. This is the only special recognition any diploma has. This year the society held regular meetings with program emphasis on academic opportunities for members. Among the speakers were Mr. Robert Ayres, whose subject was “What is expected of a National Honor member,” and Mr. Buren Davis who spoke on scholarship programs and “intellectual buckets.” At one meeting a parliamentary debate on the merits of large and small colleges was held. The club also survived a medium but none the less interesting constitutional crisis. Dedicated sponsor was Mr. James McMurtrey. — 20 —

LATIN CLUB Caesar’s General Staff, the Latin Club, extends classroom experiences and provides time for activities which are not available during a class period. At the regular meeting, Latin Club members learned of Roman customs, saw a movie concerning the slaying of Caesar, and sampled Roman food. Again the membership was divided into groups. First year Latin students were the plebians; second year students were patricians; third year students were the Praetors. Any junior or senior member who had completed Latin training was a senator. The club was again sponsor of the annual Christmas Dance prior to the holiday vacation. Eight Latin students, sponsored by the club, participated in the Indiana University Achievement Awards Program held in Lafayette. Latin awards were again given on the underclass awards days. The highlight of this year’s activities was the Banquet held in the cafeteria. All enjoyed a wonderful evening in the Roman flavor, including a trip through ancient Rome.
