To elevate these objectives and hold them ever before the school as goals toward which all should strive, is the purpose of this Society. Our aim shall be to hold before the school such motives as shall induce others to aspire to scholarly habits, enlist- ing in worthy service and leading forward in all things that shall advance the welfare of the school. Each year a certain number of students from the eleventh and twelfth grades, who have been outstanding in scholarship, character, leader- ship and service, are nominated for election into the local chapter of this national organization. The Junior and Senior classes, as well as the Fac- ulty, vote on these candidates and to be chosen for membership is the high- est honor that can be awarded a Junior or Senior student in high school.

Catt To the readers of the Mariner fbr 1943: A custom, long neglected, is now revived, namely that of addressing a personal message from the Faculty Advisor of the publication to the possessors of the yearbook. In this case, I speak for the entire Mariner Staff. About the book itself: We are offering to you in these pages a. new ideal. Our conception of the task now completed has been this; to give you a record of the past school year free from all conventionality -- a book that looks past today into the future. How far we have succeeded in approximating this ideal is for you to judge, as the book and its future are yours. To the Staff: My sincerest thanks and appreciation. The Staff this year being extremely small, placed exceptional burdens on the shoulders of Mary Sue Wesbrook, Dorothy Scott, Betty Pearson, Irene Langell and Tom Carden. A toast then to the Mariner of 1943 - may it set the evolutionary march of its predecessors one step higher and be the start from which a line of distinguished successors will follow. R . M . Catt 28
