NHS Becomes Social Club The National Honor Society, composed of twenty-seven members, became a social organization this year. Since most of its members were also members of one service organization or another, they decided that their purpose would be to just have fun. They ac- complished their goal, having one party after another at various members ' houses. These parties, although attended by more non- members than members, proved to be a huge success and will probably be carried on in future National Honor Societies.
