for the establishment of a Chapter of the National Honor Society in November 1937. Since that time approximately thirty students have been extended the high honor of membership in this nation- wide organization.

M mbership in the local Honor Society is restricted to those students who consistently maintain an average of 905 or above. Although the members do not elect officers or carry on a program of activi- ties as other clubs do, membership in the society is a cherished goal of most students. This year the junior high school members visited the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Zoo and the senior high school members visited State Teachers College at Buffalo. It is a significant fact that most of the students who have maintained membership in the local Honor Society this year have also been very ac- tive in all extracurricular activities. 25

A better understanding of our community life was the core of the seventh grade curriculum for this year. Visits to points of interest in the community and talks by town officials helped to make this study practical and meaningful. The class is indebted to Supervisor Harold Haws and Justice of the Peace Donald Moore who gave freely of their time to visit the social studies classes and explain the duties of their respective offices. Two events stand out as highlights of the year's activities. They are the assembly pro- gram which was presented before the junior-senior high school students in March and the other was the trip of the honor society to the Buffalo Zoo and Museum of Science. The class is proud of John Dooley who won first prize in the elementary boys' division of the Americanism essay contest. Also Suzanne Brumsted and Florence Dynarski brought honor to the class by winning second place in the essay and spelling contests respectively. A Christmas party and a picnic at Emery Park in June were the most important social ewans on the 7th grade calendar. Both of these events were enjoyed by all members of the class. Despite a crowded schedule of work and play the seventh graders did not forget their duty to others less fortunate than they. The class contributed liberally to the United Chart ties Drive and they also sent a CARE package to a needy family in Europe. 21+
