THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY THE foremost ambition of mn hitch school student is to be crowned with the glory of acceptance into the National Honor Society, “the Phi Beta Kappa of High School. ’ To enter the portals of the society's domain is to have achieved outstanding success in Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. If a student in the 11 A, 12B, or 12A is in the upper third of his class scholastically he is eligible for entrance into the society. These eligible people are then voted upon by both members of the society and the faculty' on the basis of S.L.C.S. ratings. Then, one day is set aside each semester, in which a solemn ritual is held which is culminated with the announctm- nt of the new members. That day is perhaps the most awe-inspiring day of the entire semester. The air is filled with tin tingling suspense of eagerly-hoping candidates. All in all. this marvelous ritual is, without a doubt, the outstanding occa »ion of the entire school year. All these factors show the light in which the Honor Society is held in the eyes of the students. In being accepted as a member, one has taken a large stride down the path of fame and glory. These arc the I2A students who have attained this honor: Louis Katz, President Edith Sachs, Vice President Howard Herzig, Treasurer Joseph Kopecny Vera Novak Anne Kafka Allen Reiscnfeld Rae Seabrandt Florence Mcschan Ellen Fotheringham Phyllis Rothkopf Paul Kelley Gilbert Margulis Edith Goldstein Alyce Kohn Berncrd Schrauf Florence Krenzlcr F.leanor Keller Jack Sharp Lillian Bookatz Lillian Brodsky Irving Cohn William Hoffman Jay Kaufman Margaret Lowthian Edward Oshcr Harold Sand Manuel Shatten Ruth Wolkov Florence Wollerman Here again we offer our deep felt congratulations to these students for having achieved this pinnacle of all high-school honors. THE TWELVE STAR FINAL LAST semester, as l2B’s, some of the members of our class arrived at the idea of having a class magazine. Here again was something original, for this had never been done before in Glenvillc. A staff was decided upon and work immediately got under way. The editors were decided upon as follows: Editor-in-chief—Florence Mcschan. Feature Editor—Howard Herzig. Associate Editor—Gilbert Margulis. Sports Editor—George Fatliaucr. Literary Editor—Florence Krenzlcr. Art Editor—Stanley Simon. News Editor—Edith Goldstein. These people turned out a job that ranks with the best class publications that ever were turned out at Glenvillc. The magazine, which was given the name of “Twelve Star Final, was printed by the Glenvillc printing class and was produced under a non-profit system, the magazine being ultimately sold at an exceedingly reasonable price for such a fine type of publication. All the technical supervision was placed under Miss Gertrude Campbell who assisted the members of the staff in producing the sort of thing that every class wants and appreciates when they get it. All in all, this project was a success and was very warmly accepted. This year, as “Senior AV the magazine publication, for some technical reason, has been converted into a plain class newspaper with a few changes in the staff. However, we are sure that this slightly new project will be equally as acceptable as last semester’s, and we can neither hope nor ask for anything better than that. 121

CLASS ORGANIZATION UNDER the capable sponsorship of Miss Humphreys, an exceptionally fine 12A class organization has been accomplished. The officials have fulfilled the trust that was placed with them by turning in an efficient and capable job of managing class affairs. The success that was attained is mainly due to two factors. J'irst, the individuals chosen were of the finest type and were well-fitted for their individual tasks. Secondly, a fine degree of cooperation was reached between the officers. A combination of two all-important factors like these could not fail to result in on outstanding showing. It is with great pride and pleasure that we present to you their names: Mr. Jack Sharp, president; Mr. Paul Kelley, vice-president; Mr. Allen Reisen-feld. treasurer; Miss Edith Sachs, secretary, and Mr. Jay Kaufman, chairman of the Entertainment Committee. In acceptance of the work done by our 12A class officers, both the student body and faculty join in hearty congratulations that come from the bottom of our hearts. THE SENIOR SPONSORS EACH semester when a new class of sophomores arrive at Glenville High, they arc placed under the supervision of a group of selected 12B classmen. The service that is rendered by these students is very helpful. They actually take these sophs in hand and acquaint them with the school itself, the teachers, the social and athletic functions, und countless other things which, if the proper introductions were not made, these newcomers would quite definitely shy from. Resides this, the sponsors arrange to tutor any of these incoming students who may need scholastic help of any sort. It is a custom for these senior sponsors to give a party for these incoming students. This year under the fine work of the sponsor entertainment committee, a dance was given as a further means of introducing these sophomores to the various social functions of the school. The committee consisted of Sam Goldman, chairman; George Fathauer, Bernard Matthews, Bcrnerd Schrauf, Irving Cohn, Gilbert Mar-gulis, Hettie Graver, and Phyllis Rothkopf. So successful was this dance arrangement that the school now provides a fund to take care of paying all costs of this biannual affair. This single factor is in itself a fine recommendation of the work that was done by the group of senior sponsors. Thus we think we have every right to include these sponsor projects ns another one of the outstanding services rendered by our senior class. We hope that its organization and customs may continue doing a great deal more of this excellent work. The class wishes to thank Miss Henry in acknowledgment of the assistance she gave this group as advisor of all affairs. THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE ONE of the most active organizations of any class is the Entertainment Committee. It is a well established custom that it provides for the planning and presenting of all class affairs. Our committee, under the able and industrious Joy Kaufman, lias succeeded exceptionally well in carrying out its purpose. Last year, as 12B’s, a well planned class dance, the “Jolly Hop.” was given and was received with great approval. Then, in the way of more original ideas, a Stunt Night was presented in which various members of the class contributed their art” thus forming an extremely entertaining program. The members of the committee arc Leon Opper. Marvin Mezi, AJyce Kohn. Florence Krenzler, Florence Mcschan, Harold Sand, f.ou Katz. Editli Goldstein, and Irving Cohn. Mr. Kaufman should be congratulated on his fine choice of committee-people, for they struck the note that is all-important in this sort of organization. They attained a very high degree of cooperation. It is chiefly due to this factor that they achieved such outstanding success. 22 J
