In Harmony High it is made possible through the Student Council which, although yet in its early stages of perfection, has come a long way since it was first organized in 1946. During this second year of its growth the Council entered into numerous projects, all of which were successfully carried through. The main accomplishment this year was the buying of caps and gowns which will be kept in school and rented from the Council for any purpose desired. This project will continue over a period of several years until they are all paid for. The advisor to the Council was Mr. Kenney and the group consisted of twelve students chosen by vote from the various classes which they represented.

The National Honor Society, whose members are chosen annually by a faculty committee, this year included six students from the Senior class. The number of members cannot exceed 20% of the total class enrollment and they are chosen on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership and character. During the course of time that has lapsed since the first National Honor Society in Harmony High there have been nine boy and eighteen girl members chosen from Senior classes. Faculty committee members who selected the candidates were: Miss Noltimier, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Kenney and Superintendent Anderson. The candidates were formally initiated and presented with pins at the annual NHS banquet.

They were Helen Harstad, Marjorie Morem, Juanita Hauge-rud, Joyce Alfson and Dorothy Flynn. As membership 0 the organization is limited to twenty-five these five were chosen as most likely candidates to bring the total to that number. Most of the fifteen regular meetings were hdld at the homes of the various members. At each a program either of literary value or entertainment was given. On December 8th Mrs. Paul Thompson spoke to the club about Life and Customs in France, which proved extremely interesting. Money was raised during the year by presenting an assembly program to’ the student body. QUILL AND SCROLL (Seated in front—left to right) L. Fairbanks. H. Olson. Second Row: J. Just, J. Tollefson. J.
