The L. H. S. Beta Club is composed of eighteen members who are either Juniors or Seniors and who have maintained a general average of 90 or above. The purpose of the club may be explained by an interpretation of the emblem: The “B” is the first character of the Greek word “Bios,” which means “life.” The three stars above the “B” represent the spiritual side of life in the specific traits of altruism, honesty, and courage. The eagle represents good citizenship to which the members have pledged themselves. The black background represents the dignity and seriousness which should attend the search for knowledge. The gold band around the emblem is symbolic of friendship and brotherhood, without which life would lose much of its richness.
