Well, the members of the French ' ' National Honor Society sure do. These academically motivated students have displayed a great in- terest and ability in the French lan- guage. However, this honor is not just limited to the French students. For those who excel in Spanish there is the National Spanish Honor Society. Members of both are nomi- nated by the foreign language teachers. To qualify, a ninety aver- age in the language must be achieved as well as an eighty-five average in all other classes. The members are inducted into the soci- eties during an assembly held in the spring. They set an example used to encourage those whose French and Spanish n'est pas si bon! PECJAI.

Help! But some are sitting at home, grinning. The grinning stu- dents are the smart ones - they took advantage of the student-tutors at J.H.S. The Jenkintown branch of the National Honor Society has once again made student-tutors available 58 National Honor SocietyfThings to anyone who asked for help in a particular subject. Because the tu- tor is a peer and the service is free, anyone who passed up the chance this year really missed a good deal. All ofthe student-tutors are mem- bers ot the National Honor Society, a group made up of the leaders in our school. The members are nomi- nated by their teachers on the basis of scholarship, leadership, citizen- ship, and honor. If a student meets these criteria and has a UB aver- age in academic subjects, he is in- ducted into the National Honor Soci- ety. The ceremony consists of speeches by students, Dr. Barrett, an outside speaker, and songs by the Choral Ensemble. Members of the'National Honor Society take academics seriously, there is no doubt that they have their priorities set and have clear goals in mind.
