Character is one of the fundamental virtues of the Honor Club and is aptly defined as the distinguishing trait of anything, particularly the moral and mental qualities of an individual human being which distinguishes him as a personality. A principle so necessary and so beneficial to the lives of young men and women is rightly included in the Honor Club, for it provides something to strive for and something to attain. This is a natural power, like light and heat, and all nature co-operates with it. The reason why we feel one man’s presence and do not feel another’s is because one has character and the other has not. Men of character like to hear of their faults, the other class do not; they worship themselves. Character is nature in the highest form. It is no use to ape it or to contend with it. for character will foil all emulation. If we cannot attain it at a bound, we can at least do it homage, and some day we may be indulged by the presence of this honored guest. RAGE TWENTY-NINE

Agnes Shaw Valedictorian Stacia Mazaika Salutatorian Agnes Shaw was awarded the Valedictorian for 1927 with an average of ninety-one and six-tenths per cent for her term of four years at Hall, while Stacia Mazaika received Salutatorian with an average of ninety and nine-tenths per cent for four years at Hall. Lila McAlpine, Ralph Colver, and Ramona Klingberg, respectively, had the highest averages in scholastic standing, but part of their work was completed in other schools than Hall, which made them ineligible for either the Valedictorian or Salutatorian.
