At the end of the year an assembly is held for offering awards. At this time the members of the National Honor Society sign their names in the roll book. The members chosen for this year are: Mary Ann Fry, Cecelia Gatts, Clif- ford Gebhart, Thomas Haeussler, Albert Horn, William May, Onnolee Morris, Dorothy Naher, William Shade, loan Staley, and lean Woods.
