Mckenzie Top Row: Third Row: First Row: Franklin Club Last year when the Franklin Club was organized we had neither a con- stitution nor a pin. We now have both, and our emblem is our especial pride. The kite is the background, chosen for its connection with Franklin, and across the kite is a key which was an instrument in Benjamin Franklin ' s experiment. Superimposed on the kite and the key it the great shield of the United States. This shield represents our country and calls to our minds that our club is a History club, and that we have our obligation to our country. Above the shield is a representation of the liberty bell, which has been a symbol of free- dom ever since the Declaration of Independence, of which Franklin was a signer. Around the margin of the kite are five dates, all important in American History: 1492. the Discovery of America: 1620, the Landing of the Pilgrims; 1706, the birth of Franklin: 1776, Signing of the Declaration of Independence: and 1790, the death of Franklin. The kite is divided into six sectors, each representing one of the great continents of the world. These sectors remind us that although our first obligation is to our own country, the world is a composite of many nations and that every citizen today is obligated to help bring about the proper sort of international relations. 29

ALEXANDER, Yeager Student Council In order to get a glimpse of the work of the Student Council, our organi- zation for student government, let us rob the secretary ' s minute book for the report of a typical meeting. Let ' s see — September 30, October 5, October 12, — Oh, here is a good one, — October 19, 1932. The fourth meeting of student council was held at the third period, Monday, October 19. The president, ' Bil ' English, called the meeting to order. After the roll call and the reading of the minutes by the secretary, Edith Simon, a report of the committee appointed to draw up the new constitution was made; then a report of the profits of the candy sale, amounting to $3.50, was made by Virginia Gantt. The president appointed several new committees, the duties of which are as follows: The awards committee is to decide on what basis the homeroom award is to be made this year and what type of award it will be. The hall committee is to keep order in the halls during the lunch periods. The lost and found committee is to list the lost and found articles and endeavor to find the owners. The assembly committee has charge of planning the programs for each assembly. The courtesy committee is to help new students and visitors get acquainted with the students, the building, and the teachers. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. 28

COLLIER Torch Club Those students who are elected to membership in the National Honor Society, the Torch Club, certainly have reason to feel that an honor has been bestowed upon them. The pin typifies the meaning of the organization. Be- fore a student can be elected, he must possess certain qualifications in leadership, scholarship, citizenship, and service. Leadership characterizes personality, which factor paves the way for the upward climb of man. It is indeed an enviable quality to possess. Good scholarship, the second point, tvpifies hard work and ability. For- tunate is the student who is outstanding in this respect. Citizenship is the manifestation of character. It is composed of all the virtues that indicate achievement and endeavor. Good citizens are the essentials of every school. Service typifies the beginning and the end of the education we received and the life we live. The desire to serve one ' s school, and one ' s friends and fellow members, should be uppermost in everybody ' s mind and heart. NEW TORCH MEMBERS ANNOUNCED Seniors— ELIZABETH CHINN. CATHERINE COX.
