Eleanor Knight was elected president; Bob McKay, vice-president; Jean Hall, secretary; and Willis Jensen, treasurer, for the year. The annual initiation ceremony for seniors elected to the National Honor Society was held on March 17. 1943. The ceremony was conducted by three of the initial members, the others having graduated at the end of the first semester. The program, under the guidance of Miss Jessie Roulston. was opened by lean Hall. Betty Iwatsuki then explained the sig- nificance of the four cardinal principles of the society; Bob Wagner explained the (laming torch and the colors.

Enrolled in the class were around 180 students. As a result of the class election, Barbara Baker was named president; Charlotte Walker was chosen vice-president; Eugene Hittncr was elected secre- tary; Donald Widner, treasurer; and Shirley Mor- tenson and Douglas Bird became student council members. Mr. O. C. Rogers is the class adviser. The class presented a movie assembly February 10. The picture chosen was “The Construction of Boulder Dam.” It was very interesting and instruc- tive. In their bond sales drive, I iramic High sold more tlian any school in the state. The seventh grade participated in this. They sold $560 worth. During the year dances have been given for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. I»arge crowds attended these dances. Seventh grade members of the junior dramatics club took part in programs and plays for their par- ents and the faculty. These plays and programs were arranged and directed by Miss Wymore, spon- sor of the club. The attendance at each was very good. A good representation from the class is found among the members of the B Band: eight members arc in A Band. SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS To » Row: Joan Dewey, Banjo Pa- ■lilla.

The chief aim of the council is the maintenance of good citizenship in the high school. This year the perennial fun of public initiation by the organi- zations caused the group to take a stand against such initiations during school time as tl»ey are dis- rupting. The council recommended that no costumes or placards are to lie worn by initiates. All initia- tions are to be held during the club meetings. The officers of the Student Council were Nancy Foreman, president: Charles Hegewald. vice-presi- dent; and Lillian O’Dea, secretary. Miss Sargent was named sponsor.

Yet without learning the truths, which inspired the founders of our nation, and the facts about our government and our relation to it, living il becomes a thing of chance. We may act rightly by accident, but we arc far more likely to do so if we are equipped with the information which will help us to reason and judge what is best Each of us has a place in the life of his community, and the community will reach its possibilities only as each member of it reaches up to his opportunities for service and achievement. tl
