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.

This year the Tri-Hi-Y Girls, under the direction of Miss O’Brien, have sought to make the club both active and useful. These objectives have been accomplished in many ways. Contributions have been made to the World Youth Fund, to the Seniors Class Annual, and to the Christmas Baskets. In the fall we sent delegates to the Hi-Y-Tri-Hi-Y Conference, held at Suffolk and plans are being made to send delegates to the annual convention to be held at Blue Ridge this summer.
