In school, the student not only studies many practical subjects, but he also develops a sense of being orderly and accurate, which is the core of scholarship, according to the dictionary. To be all-around, a person must be systematic-that is, get worlc done on time, and budget time so that he has time not only for work but also for recreation, and other important parts of an all-around existence. The punctual person is always admired, but no one lilces the one who is never on time. The necessity for accuracy is becoming more evident all the time. No one is all-round who is not accurate. One of the most strilcing examples of the importance of accuracy lies in the artillery- man who must fire his guns at the enemy and not miss, ln civilian life, accuracy comes in at such places as counting change and being at a conference at 2:00 and not 3:00. The disciplined mind also is universally esteemed. A person may be scholar'y without having had any bool:-learning. A mechanic has an orderly idea of how a motor is assembled, and, al- though he has not learned his knowledge in a school, this knowledge is filed away so that he can draw upon it with no hesitation or uncertainty. A scientist covers so many fields that if he did not remember his information systematically, he would lose it in the shuffle of molecules, magnets and microscopes. The business man must remember things in orderly fashion. too. If he is worlcing on several projects at the same time, he must be able to remember the details and lceep the details of one project separate from the details of another. The disciplined mind is also able to concentrate when there are others around and to finish his taslc on time in spite of disturbing interruptions. Election to the National Honor Society is based upon character. service, leadership and schol- arship, but not on scholarship alone. Thus a boolcworm stands no chance at allg the Society wel- comes the all-around person, whose scholarly traits have developed not only good marks, but also a sense of order, essential to a leader, and a sense of accuracy, essential for every good public servant.

Sclancacllub OFFICERS: Ethel Ashworth President Joan Blair Vice President Roger Munn Secretary-Treasurer Maxwell Wheat Librarian This year a Science Club was or- ganized in Geneva High School. The club has a membership of about twenty, with Mr. Robert Moore acting as advisor. At the first meeting, a constitution was drawn up, and officers were elected. Meetings are held twice each month and consist of a short business meeting followed by a scientific program. The purposes of the club are: 1. To increase our knowledge of science. Z. To learn to perfect our skills in science. 3. To give service in our community and nation. 4. To understand the importance of science in our lives. 5. To help carry out the program of Science Clubs of America. Our government needs skilled workers and these Science clubs are helping to produce such workers, for they are developing a scientific attitude, especially with regard to recent achieve- ments in their special field of interest. The scientists of today that are doing such a grand war-time job, are the products of former high school clubs. The scientists of the post-war era will be those who now belong to these clubs. Science is today winning the war for us, and in the future it will make our life much more comfortable. The right to dis- cover the truth ourselves is one of the things for which we are fighting.
