NATIONAL ONOR 5005 ' The National Honor Society, with its exacting requirements of Charac- XXQ fg fer, Srlmlmwlvip, Leaderrhip, and Service, offers a magnificent test of per- ? sonality to the juniors and the seniors of our school. But genuine leaders, we know, are not concerned whether a crown follows or not . . . They act '7 X according to set ideals and the crowd finally discovers them . . . and follows. V Time, only, will prove whether the members of the N.H.S. will measure up 5 L to its inspiring aims-whether our school sages will be the Leading Women of Tomorrow! Alma Mater trusts they will! Parent and Teach Our Parent and Teacher Meetings give the parents an opportunity to meet their co-workers in the puz- zling task of rearing 20th century youth, to evaluate the material used, and to examine the blue prints- the ideals behind M. training. Rev. Henri Canuel is chairman of this new organization. L C. Lacroix entertained duriru He first Parent Teaflier Meeting.
