Pl!! hilly National Honor Society The National Honor Society was organized for the benefit of the scholars. Its aim is to pro- mote leadership, and the desire to help one's school as well as scholarship. The faculty selects the students who become members of the society. To be elected is an honor, for the pupil must be in the upper twenty-five per cent of his class in scholarship, he must have shown ability as a leader, and rendered service to his school. Only fifteen per cent of the class may be chosen for membership.

HELEN JOHNSON Austin, George, David and the Twins occupy a bachelor's apartment in New York City. Things are quite gloomy for them when the play opens, as George has lost his job, the Twins have had their allowance stopped, and Austin has been jilted by the girl he was to marry. Then Austin receives word that he has inherited the Fairview School for Girls, from his aunt. He also learns that Homer Johns holds a mortgage on the school which exceeds its value. . , Austin believes that girls should be taught charm. He therefore wants to take over the school and make a success of it. Johns promises that he may do this on two conditions: That no girl falls in love with him and that Miss Hays be retained as second in command. Austin then descends upon the school with George Boyd, who is in love with Elise Benedotti, as his accountant, David MacKenzie as his lawyer, and .lim and Tim Simpkins as dancing and ukulele instructors. The girls at the school see Mr. Johns and think he is to be the new principal, so they decide to strike. When, however, they see Mr. Bevans and learn that he is to be in command they immediately change their minds. Mr. Bevans' idea is a huge success in all respects but one, because Elise Benedotti falls in love with him, to the great disgust of George Boyd. Austin really loves Elise but does not show it because of -his promise. The climax is reached when Elise runs away, which throws everything into a panic. George and Austin go after her, but Austin brings her back. Mr. Johns tells Austin that he has lost his school but that he will give him a position, but Austin refuses. Elise accepts the position for him and when she tells him of it he ends the suspense by saying, You're the silliest, most reckless, obstinate girl I ever knew, but-you have got charm.
