NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Seated: Hewitt, A. Rider(Bower )Cor Jes, Kenyon, Jones, Jaksec, Mvers, Werner, TL Loftus, L. Foster, F. Foote. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The local chapter of the National Honor Soci- ety was named after William T. Wallace, princi- pal emeritus of H.H.S., because he represents the ideals on which the National Honor Society was founded. Mr. Wallace taught at Hastings for 33 years and was principal for 27 years. The object of the National Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy lead- ership, and to encourage the development of character in high school pupils. The society is the high school equivalent of the college Phi Beta Kappa. Juniors and seniors who have attended Hastings High School for at least one year and maintained a scholastic average of 2.00, a “B average, are eligible for membership. Mr. Edwin L. Taylor, Mrs. Mary Payne, Mr. Stanley Wheater, Miss Ruth Robson, and Mr. Carl Damson composed the 1947 faculty council. This council selects the membership, taking into consideration scholarship, service, leadership, and character. This year’s initiation was held in Central Audi- torium March 24. The Rev. Leason Sharpe opened the ceremony with the invocation after which a duet, “The Rosary,” was sung by Beverly Drake and Neva Ball. Chapter member lames Burns introduced the speaker, Dr. Wilbur West, direc- tor of the Western Michigan College camp at Clear Lake. Dr. West pointed out that the mem- bers of the society evidently had the right attitude, the ability to finish their tasks, and the proper ideals of service. After Mr. Stanley Wheater ex- Sramiing. Mr. Taylor, adviser, V. Warren, Ball, M. Bryans, R. Groos, Burns, Hodges, Keech, Gwinn, Wilson, M. Drake, E. Conklin, M. Clark, Miss Robson. plained the significance of membership in the Na- tional Honor Society, the candlelighting ceremony took place. Each initiate rose and received a candle which he lighted from the combined flames of four other candles, held by James Bums, Norma Jaksec, Colleen Jones, and Dorvald Keech, s'gnifying scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Each initiate then received a yellow rose, the chapter flower, from Jean Kenyon. The pledge was administered by Principal Edwin L. Taylor, after which Pres. Patrick Hodges welcomed the new members. Mr. Lewis Hine played two oboe solos, and the Rev. Sharpe concluded the cere- mony with the benediction. ,—The mcmh rs initiated in 1947 were Neva Ball, C Dorothy Boweh Marvel Bryans, Mary lane Clark, Edna Conklin, Reynolds Cordes, Marvin Drake, Frances Foote, Lachlan Foster, Richard Groos, Charles Gwinn, Joan Hewitt, Helen Dtftus, Keith Myers, Alan Rider, Virginia Warren, Myrna Wer- ner, and Arnold Wilson. Officers for ’47 were Patrick Hodges, president; Donald Keech, vice-president; Colleen Jones, sec- retary; Miss Ruth Robson, treasurer. The society’s emblem is in the form of a key- stone with a torch emblazoned on it. The key- stone is the supporting stone in an arch and signi- fies a strong, solid foundation or character. The torch signifies learning. The society sent letters of congratulation to students receiving a 2.75 average or above. It sold pop at basketball games, assisted at the Hastings Relays, and will edit the first issue of the Fort- night in the fall. Membership includes both students going to school and those who have graduated.
