cvlcttlo nail J'lo non Society, 5 1 eonos OFFICERS: George Waldo-President Patricia Bartlett-Vice-President Ethel Ashworth-Secretary-Treasurer The dictionary defines scholarship as learning of an accurate, sometimes academic, vom always schooled and disciplined sort . . . 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.

Our Md m Geneva schools, realizing the need for brawn to back up the ains, have d oted a prominent part of their curriculum to building the muscles that America needs. Through the untiring efforts of Doc Bonesteel, who is in charge of the health program a set-up has been achieved in the grade schools by which our younger brothers and sisters are tak- ing the first step in a graduated system of physical development. Through the grades and in high school, too, the students now must study courses in Health Educationy' designed to acquaint them with those facts and practices that will promote strong bodies, free from disease, for the tasks of war now :md of reconstruction later. In high school the scope of athletic activities is broader than in the grades. Individual skill is encouraged in that part of athletics that includes such sports as tennis and track, where the com- Lvlllllll l.umun, lliillilllll U'.1l.1llf'y, llill Taylur, Bill l,1'f1w'y,.'Irlll11n1y P1l.r.ml11rquu, .-llfrml King, linlf f,'lnfu',.lu1r1r.c ,Ur- lfunn, Sinn IlllllIHllfl,.1IIt'L' lfinzar, lfarllon SflI7N',J1lI!ll'J lfuulry, 'ljillitllll A-lllrn, JI.
