Society presents current films and books Now in its third year, the Cinture So¬ ciety has succeeded in bringing to Glass interesting movies and current books. During the school months the Cinture Society plans to present films for the Glass Students, and the paper¬ back bookstore again appears in Eng¬ lish classes throughout the second floor, providing students with the opportunity to buy the latest best¬ sellers as well as many of the classics. Sponsored by Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Hotz, the Society is largely responsi¬ ble for obtaining classroom sets of paperback books, which are pur¬ chased with club activity proceeds and used in English classes. fc CAJt.

National honor society inducts new members in spring National Honor Society membership is one of the highest honors bestowed upon high school students. The E. C. Glass chapter was founded in 1924 and became the 315th national chap¬ ter. In 1921 at Atlantic City, a nation¬ al convention of high school princi¬ pals saw the need for a nationwide uniform way of recognizing student excellence in character, scholarship, leadership and service. The result was the organization of the National Hon¬ or Society. Members today are still elected by the faculty according to the above-men¬ tioned criteria. One of the chapter projects is the coaching of fellow stu¬ dents. Sponsors for the chapter are Miss Wiley and Mrs. Pinn. Members of the National Honor Society have a 48-year old tradition to uphold of excellence in academics, service to the school and high standards of character. J - 23
