M. GRIDLEY V. ANDREWS AMERICAN LEGION SCHOOL AWARD Every year Libertyville Post No. 329 of the American Legion pre- sents awards to the best all-around boy and girl in the graduating class. The faculty acts as a committee and chooses these students on the basis of courage, character, service, companionship, and scholarship. The Legion believes that these qualities are essential to good citizenship, and the awards are given in the hope of inspiring the students to become good citizens. Courage is listed first because it is undoubtedly the first quality of good citizenship. Character is also of the greatest importance. Service to others and companionship toward his fellow-men are pre-requisites of the good citizen. Scholarship, though ranked last, is very important be- cause, though a citizen possesses a sterling character, he can be of no use to his community unless he possesses the knowledge and wisdom to carry out his enterprises. The American Legion award, therefore, is presented only for out- standing characteristics, and the boy or girl who wins the award may feel justly proud. Last year Margaret Gridley and Vernon Andrews were chosen from a class of sixty members to receive these awards, which were presented to them at the 1932 Memorial Day Service. Page twenty-five

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, which was or- ganized in 1920, admits a certain number of members to its ranks every year. The members are selected by the principal and a faculty committee. Membership is awarded for scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter. Only those in the upper third of the Senior Class are eligible for membership, and only fifteen per cent of this group may be selected. The names of those who have been elected to membership are an- nounced by the principal on Commencement night, and a pin is presented to each student who has been chosen. To be elected to membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor which can be bestowed upon a student of L. T. H. S. Last year the following nine students were selected from a class of sixty mem- bers to receive this honor: Margaret Gridley, Adrian Sutton, Elizabeth Christensen, Melvin Kohner, Eleanor Treptow, Vernon Andrews, Lois Hazlett, Jack Osborn and June Rutherford.
