HONOR SOCIETY The Melbourne Chapter of the National Honor Society is the first organization of this nature in Melbourne High School. It was started this year by its three charter mem- bers, Mary Jacobus, Bette Brown, and Tom Bass. The purpose of the Honor Society is to encourage scholarship, character, leadership and service. This is accomplished by requiring a certain standard of grades and absolute honesty of all members, and by performing useful services for the school. The Honor Society is fortunate in having such faithful and capable sponsors as Dr. Brown, Mrs. Stanley, Mr. Todd, and Mr. Whitacre.
