The Honor Society For the first time in the history of Greenbelt High School, a National Honor Society has been established this year, much to the enthusiasm ol' Mr. Speicher, the faculty, and the students, who think it's a grand idea. The number of our particular chapter is 2896. Our chapter has been received, and members who were elected into the society this year will he charter members. The characteristics that are necessary to reach this goal are: First- Scholarship Qany student wishing to enter the society must be iII the upper one third of his class scholasticallyjg Second--Leadership: 'l'lll1'tl-Cll?1Y2'1CICl', Fourth-Service Cthis includes service to the school and the connnunityj. Membership to the Society IIIay be attained in the .lunior and Senior years. However, records from the beginning ol' the lfreshnian year are taken into con- sideration when eligibility for the Society is being determined. Five per cent of the Junior Class may be taken into the Society at the end ol' the last semester: live per cent of the Seniors may be taken in at the end ol' the first semester and again at the end of the last semester. No more than hfteen per cent of the Seniors may be members. If a member of the society is found to be unworthy of tlIe honor while he is in high school, he will be deprived of his membership. After graduation from high school, a formerly active member is declared an honorary Ineinber and has the honor of being such for the rest of his life. Selections for mentbership into the society are made by the entire faculty. Membership cards are given to every member, and a choice may be made between the purchase ol a pin and at ring to designate a member of the society. To belong to this organization is the greatest honor a student can have, and it is worthy ol' the eflorts necessary to obtain membership. The National Honor Society contmands the eflorts and achievements of the high school student throughout his entire four years. From the time he enters high school until his graduation, it gives him the incentive to do his best work at all times. The Honor Society is a national organization that is devoted to the ideals that every high school in the country should strive to achieve.

All-Greenbelt Nite Greenbelt's exciting Night of the Year got under way at 7:30 P.M. on March 2, 1945, The auditorium overflowed with the expectant crowds. In the first event of the evening, our Grizzliettes found themselves out in front of Bladensburg High during the entire basketball game and polished it off with a score of 26-4. During the intermission. awards were presented to numerous members of the boys' and girls' basketball teams for their outstanding perform- ances during the year. Tiny little grade school figures then proceeded to tumble their way into our hearts. Next came the performance of a war-time baseball game by the Boys' Leaders Club. A thrilling one-round boxing match followed. Excitement mounted, for the name of our Queen had not yet been revealed. As the majestic strains of Pomp and Cirrzlnistarzrrf began to float melodically through the air, Miss Cotterman's careful plans began to take shape beautifully. Our little freshman representative, Helen Miller, enteredg then came sophomore, versatile Dolores Wolfe, accom- panied by the junior, pretty blond Betty Sillaman. Shirley Mitchell and Ruth Morgan were the two popular seniors, followed by beautiful Ellen Gussio as Maid of Honor. Perfect silence reigned as everyone strained to see the Queen as she made her entrance. Yes, it was Carolyn Tompkins, and she was not a bit happier than the rest of G.H.S. to know that after three con- secutive years of being elected to the Queen's Court, she had really captured the Supreme Honor. Carolyn was proud and happy, but still couldn't believe all this was happening to her, even after she had been ceremoniously crowned Queen of All-Greenbelt Nite by our town manager, Mr. james T. Gobbel. The Queen and her court made themselves comfortable while our boys' basketball team prepared to take Bladensburg High School by storm, Between halves, the Girls' Leaders Club added sparkle to the evenings excitement. The boys topped Bladensburg with a score of 56-25. As a popular band appeared, another All-Greenbelt Nite ended tunefully at twelve mid- night, and all our fair ladies and handsome men turned their feet happily towards home. l50l
