The society also purchased a scholarship trophy, which is presented after each marking period to the home room which has the highest average number of honor points. Some of the members have acted as tutors for those who need extra help in their work. Another honor possible to Medina High School students is mem- bership in the local chapter of the National Honor Society. This organization limits its membership to seniors.

To its members, the Ergonian Society imparts a deHnite value by teaching them the benefits of co-operative work and by develop- ing a social consciousness and a knowledge of how to act in social situations which are a most important part of life today. This club holds its meetings on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. l23
