NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Q Carr Cooper Elliott Harbuck Hardin Hardy Knauts Murry Speakman Vaughan Brooks The National Honor Society was started to stimulate scholarship in the second- ary school, and to endeavor to place secondary education on higher levels. This is done in two ways. It was decided from the beginning to try to recognize character, service, leadership, and scholarship in the students of the high schools, and in so doing to try to stimulate all members of the high school to try to attain those at- tributes and those elements of high standing. The other way is that the National Council tries to impress on all members who are chosen and inducted into the society this feeling that when one is elected into the National Honor Society, it is not only for his career in the secondary school, but it is for life, and that he, a stu- dent and a graduate of the high school, going out into life, will be held to the pledge as a member of the National Honor Society, no matter where he goes, no matter what he becomes. Malvern Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1936, and has become one of the most widely recognized and respected organizations of the Mal- vern school. The total membership is now one hundred twenty-six. According to the constitution, The purpose of this organization shall be to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to pro- mote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the American secondary schools. Hence, while scholarship is the main requisite, it is not the only objective in the National Honor Society. The emblem of the organization is the keystone key. It is favorable in troduction to the ranks of the scholastic organizations of any college or literary group outside of college. This year three students of the Malvern Chapter will participtae in a national competitive examination sponsored by the National Honor Society. Ten S300 scholarships will be awarded. Malvern Chapter has an annual initiation ceremony in the Spring. It also has an annual dinner party given by the sponsor, Mrs. H. A. Brooks. i H.: Lf' ' I
