If the members of HONOR SOCIETY looked a little drawn this year, it was from worrying about their 2.5 average. -Charles Glessner '40 F. F. A. u Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. -Robert Beall '40 n HOME ECONOMICS Do all men prefer good cooks? -Betty Mankamyer '41 Out of the Senior and Junior Classes a certain group of students has merited the highest honor given in our high school, that of be- coming members of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY. This society tends to provide higher ideals for those worthy of this honor. They have been quite active this year. A full program was planned--the outstanding parts of which were: the Spelling Bee and the Induction Ceremonies, which went off without any mishaps, and Student Day which is probably the most important and most anticipated. As for mishaps in the group-well, judge for yourself. Did you wonder why several members did not take part in the Induction Ceremonies? A few of the members were ousted temporarily, due to the fact that they did not continue to measure up to one re- quirement, a specific grade average. But being incited by the other members, they soon redeemed themselves. The efficient advisor of this organization is Mrs. Elizabeth Gnagey Witt. The Honor So- ciety was established in M. H. S. in 1930 and since then has become one of the leading extra-curricular activities. The president for the first semester of this year was Charles Glessner, who proved himself quite capable of handling such a position. As in other clubs, the Honor Society has fun at their meetings, too. When you get Gus Hartle, Dick Bolden, and a few more like those together, you're bound to get a good laugh. The FUTURE FARMERS felt mighty important this year and with just cause. Ellsworth Werner and Robert Peck were two of the three boys representing Pennsylvania at the National Conven- tion in Kansas City. Those boys surely know their livestock-dead or alive. William Moser and Norman Gnagey went along to fur- nish the music-they represented us in the State F. F. A. band. Mr. Howard Hartshorn, their teacher and club advisor, accompanied the boys to Kansas City. The boys are proud of john Mimmie too, because he was elected President of the county organization. The following oflicers were elected: Robert Beall, presidentg John Mimmie, vice-president, William Gnagey, treasurerg George Pfahler, secretary, Ellsworth Werner, reporter. One of the boys told us that joseph Suder was appointed Farm Watch Dog but we're not sure just what his duties are. ...30-.
