SENIOR COUNCIL Work, work, and more work seems to be the motto of the Senior Class Council. The Council composed of one elected member from each Senior homeroom, all officers and nominees for office, has the tremendous responsibility of planning, financing and ex- ecuting all Senior Class functions. The first job of the Fall agenda was the determination of the amount of money needed by the class, and the amount each Senior consequently would have to pay. Be- cause of their careful management and excel- lent business ability, they had to collect only nine dollars per Senior tor the lowest Senior Budget in many years. With the helpful advice of their sponsors, Miss Helen Ware and Miss Martha B. Han- cock, such activities as Senior Day, the Senior Banquet, and the Senior Dance were success- fully held in the Fall. And once again at Christmas time five dollars was given to the WLYVA Christmas Party out of the class treasury. Spring brought even more tasks to be done than before. All Seniors had to be measured for their caps and gowns, which were changed to solid blue this year, the money collected, graduation announcements and personalized cards ordered, the Senior play chosen, graduation exercises planned, and a Commencement Dance held as a final high school fling. All of these projects were carried through with maximum enjoyment and minimum ex- pense for the Senior Class. For all the fun we had during our last year at Glass, we wish to express our appreciation and say con- gratulations for a job well done. BACK ROW: Miss Ware, F. Anderson, D. Hoskins, D. Ragland, A.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY National Honor Society is to the high school student what Phi Beta Kappa is to the college student. It is the ultimate goal that climaxes twelve years of schooling. This year forty Seniors, fifteen percent of the Senior class chosen from the upper third in secret by the faculty, were welcomed into National Honor Society with these words. 1 ‘| pledge myself to uphold the high pur- pose of this society to which | have been elected striving in every way to work and by deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life. The annual National Honor Society As- sembly held on March 28 was presided over by last year's president George Hurt. Other members of last year's chapter Sally Rhodes, Bobby Smith, Angie Morgan, and Ned Turn- ley spoke on the four basic qualifications of the Society, character, scholarship, leader- ship and service. Each succeeding chapter has a project with which they hope to help the school. This year's project was the coaching of all stu- dents who requested help in order to pass. This service made the difference between passing and failing for many students. The officers for the 1956-1957 Chapter were as follows: President, David Petty; Vice- President, Lind Groseclose; Secretary, Gloria Ashwell; Treasurer, Fred Thayer; and His- torian, Anita Fortune. With their sponsor Mrs. Wallace, the members of this year's chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society lived up to the traditions and responsibilities set by past chapters and proudly wore their pins as a symbol of the four years of hard work that won them.
