With the approach of commencement, there is a great anticipation among the juniors regarding the election of five percent of their class to the National Honor Society. The sen- iors also have a great interest as ten percent more of their class will be represented in the organization. One should realize that this election is not a “snap” to win; members must qualify with high scholastic ability and with leadership, be of service to others, and be of good character. They publish three issues of their magazine, ‘The Torch,’ and assist in the taking of attendance each day. These mem- bers are to be found in other groups around school, doing their part to improve Lowville Academy and Central School. It is definitely a great honor to achieve the medal and re- cognition as a member of the National Honor Society. Every high school student should keep this goal uppermost in mind and strive toward it with the best of his ability. 18 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Dick Greene Peter Biche—president Dave Boshart—vice-president Mr. Russell Zeller—advisor Winnie Virkler Julie Steiner—sec.-treas.

Chorus Under the direction of Mrs. Theodore Smith, the chorus presented its annual high- light, the Christmas concert. The presentation this year was a cantata, entitled “The Song of Christmas.” Written by Fred Waring, the program consisted of narration, choral and solo work all woven into an impressive por- trayal of the nativity story. This project was fun preparing, and proved profitable. In the spring, the traditional “Spring Con- cert” was held, composed of several varied selections. Directly following the local concert our group journeyed to Potsdam and took part in the music festival where we made a good showing. Looking back, we realize that one of the greatest values we have derived from chorus lies in the fun we have had enjoying music with classmates.
