January 1937 9 December 16, 1936 Dear Class of January 1937, About five years ago there was a general demand for some mark of distinction for those boys who excelled in scholarship, character, leadership, and service. After investigating many constructive suggestions, the idea of instituting a Girard Chapter of the National Honor Society was decided upon. Accordingly, on May 19, 1932, the inaugural ceremonies took place, and that inaugural marked the opening of a new phase in the life of Girard—the National Honor Society. Education and Scholarship should be one of the greatest interests in the life of any thoughtful and conscientious boy. Education gives him a chance to develop fully his greatest abilities and leads him to a richer and fuller life. For this reason we consider scholarship as one important requisite for admittance to the Society. Probably second in importance in life is the matter of character. At times it is difficult to develop a good and pure character, especially when it comes to creating an enmity between oneself and another; but then, “he makes no friends who never made a foe.” Placing character and scholarship together, we have leadership. Probably of less importance for initiation into the Society before entrance is service, but once a boy is elevated to the group, service becomes the biggest aim of the individual. We salute the following members of our class who have been elevated to mem¬ bership in the Girard College Chapter of the National Honor Society: Lewis B. Mar¬ tin, Louis Fink, Stephen Niwinski, William O. Stevenson, Karl R. Kalning, William Vockroth, James J. Nulf, Charles F, Hesel, John B. Morrow and Joseph Doughty. Yours sincerely, “B”
