Haverhill climaxing the greatest record eotahliciicci. by any team that has represented the green and v hite on the basketball courts The team couldn ' t have found a better way in which to show its appreciation of the excellent support given them by the students and local tov nspooplco A large and loyal group of spectators has a beneficial influence upon a team in victory or defeat. Lack of interest tonds to be a detriment. ' 7e have only to look back over the past five years to prove this to be the rule. Those of us who have followed the team down the lino are aware that the spirit of the team and the type of play have greatly improved over the per- formances of the past several years. Despite the limited seating capacity, loyal supporters continued to cheer on the team, game after game. Wo enjoyed having them as much as they enjoyed the games, thus both they ard we have gained. Out tharks to a. grand crowd of supporters. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY It seems as though this school should have a chapter of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, Some of the advantages of having such a representative honor group in this school are as follows: 1. It would create an enthusiasm, for scholarship. 2. It would cause pupils to evaluate themselves. 3. It would simulate students to watch the acts that develop character . The NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY .in general: 1. Defines and m.arks high standards for the ideal high-school student . 2. It is national in scope and gives high significance and unusual prestige . 3. It is an agency of high potentiality because it is continually developing a more constructive program. 4. Its organization is very flexible and can be adjusted and arranged to conform, to plans and ideals of this school. • EXCHANGE B etween Red Doors --Tops fie Id High School Your magazine is very complete, ? o would suggest that you list your magazine staff in a more noticeable place.
