Girls’ Hi-Y I lonor Society Do you know a signpost when you see one? Like a smiling face or a hough of greenery? The pointers on the road through school are the task of Hi-Y girls who excel in everything from collecting toys to pouring tea. If there’s a job to be done, they’re ready and willing to pitch in enthusiastically. Joie Hubbert presided over the organization this year with the assistance of officers Ann Ulsh, Marg Miller, and Joan Godshalk. Miss Cook continued in her capacity as adviser, leading the Hi-Y through service projects for school and community. Beginning the year with a reception for freshmen and newcomers, they continued with a clean-up campaign around the building. Over a thousand toys were collected in a pre-Christmas drive for poor children of the Hope Day Nursery in Philadelphia. Ample opportunities for managing school affairs give the girls poise, and promote leadership. Self-confidence grows with experience; Hi-Y activities provide a chance for the girls to put their best foot forward. The three committees cover every branch of school life and help to keep the machinery rolling. The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was founded for the recognition of those pupils in the schools of the United States who have proved themselves to be outstanding in the fields of leadership, scholarship, character and service. The Lansdowne Chapter, founded eighteen years ago, is sponsored by Miss Mildred Hoopes. Each year from the leaders of the junior and senior classes the society selects the students who have earned this distinction. The nine members from the senior class who were chosen in the spring of their junior year are: Willard Dye. president of the Honor Society; Ann Ulsh, the vice-president; Robert Seeley, who manages the treasury; Peggy Gordon, the secretary; Mary Conway Hendrickson; Pat Jenkins; Leonard Fina; Pat Gauntt; and Mimi Hart. The cream of the graduating class and the most promising of juniors were inducted during a most impressive honors assembly in March. The members of the junior class who were elected last spring will carry on the work of the society after the seniors have graduated and will maintain its high standards and proud traditions.
