An assembly program is sponsored by this organization, in addition to its principal function of acting as a medium between the administrative and student bodies. • The National Honor Society A high spot in the school year for seventeen Seniors and nine Juniors is election to the school’s chapter of the National Honor Society. In an impressive service those chosen arc welcomed by Dr. Ewan, Mr. Abbott, and the nine black-gowned members who were elected when they were Juniors. Election to the society is based upon the four principles: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. Students, to be elected, must have made outstanding records in their school life in all four of these principles; thus one-sided development is discouraged and well-rounded personalities are encouraged. By character is meant honesty, ambition, industry, and a spirit of democracy. By service is meant unselfish devotion of time and effort in the support of school activities. Leadership means the ability to inspire others to honest living and industry in school activities, while scholarship symbolizes ability to work well and a sincere desire to acquire an education. The Society sponsors the Honors Banquet and the Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet, and occasionally manages the school’s refreshment stand. 17
