Uu tlatwnal Hanoi Society In 1951 Chapter 4253 of the National Honor Society was organized in the Galesburg-Augusta High School. For a long time only athletes and debaters received recognition for achievement. With the passing of time the idea grew that recognition for things other than athletics or debate was due to many who gave outstanding service in other fields. So, at a meeting of the National Association of Secondary Principals held in Chicago, J. G. Masters of Omaha High School, Omaha, Nebraska, pro¬ posed the organization of a nation-wide society which would honor those students who were outstand¬ ing in scholarship and service to their schools. After some committee work, the National Honor So¬ ciety was founded in 1921, and was officially chartered in 1922. The Society has grown from twelve chapters in 1922 to more than four thousand chapters today. The selection of members to the Society has not been easy. Fifteen percent of the Senior class may be chosen, five percent at each of three elections. The scholarship requirement limits choice to those in the upper third of the class. Candidates are then checked as to their leadership, service, and traits of character. Those who qualify in all four fields become members of the local chapter and are entitled to wear the pin of the National Society. Charter members of the Galesburg-Augusta chapter were Margaret Bell, Jackie Ball, Ron Ingraham, Marianne Eldridge, and Joan Brown. The pledge of the National Honor Society will explain its purpose: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this Society to which I have been elected, striving in every way, by deed and word, to make its ideals the ideals of my school and of my life. Front row: Jon Borough, Sally Sinclair, Mary Jane Behan. Second row: Mr. Burrell, Ron Ball, Don Rutherford, Martha Brown.
