NATIQ AL I-I0 QR SQCIETY Right: Mr. james McGrath addresses a meeting of The National Honor Society. The society often called upon the experience of the faculty to answer their questions and stimulate suggestions for the betterment of the academic status of the school. After many attempts within recent years, the National llonor Society has hnally become a reality at Bonner. Although only in its first year, important precedents were set and obliga- tions carricd out. This year's programs have proven profitable in that the N.H.S. has be- come an effective agent with its various discus- sions ot issues and problems with administra- tive personnel, and making its results known to members and organizations throughout the school. Altogether. it was a job well done and a high standard of quality set lor years to come.

HI-Q TEAM QP' As a result of four distinguished years in math, eight seniors and one sophomore have been honored by being selected to serve on the Bonner Mathlete Team. This team, led by moderator Mr. Vent, competed with the other teams of the archdiocese and established itself as the most talented team in the league. This reputation is an obvious result of the tremendous mathe- matics department vvhich the students have available to them at Bonner. JOHN STEFANO Member of the Mathletes ff -.s Wi s N X ,, ..... t A H +ve Monsignor Bonner High School is among twenty-one other Delaware County senior high schools who par- ticipate in the Scott's Hi-Q academic quiz program.

Although this year's team met with less than tremendous success, the five men involved are to be commended on their fine spirit of dedication. They often sacrificed valuable free time in an effort to preserve the fine reputa- tion of their school.

LIBRARY AIDES As a result of the recent trend in the school to encourage its students to pursue their studies indee pendently, the library is rapidly becoming a prom- inent tool of students in the cultivation of their minds and the development of their imaginations. However, the library can only be of service to the student if it is coordinated properly. Recognizing the need for eFficient organization, the library aides have made this important process of learning easier for all students. Besolved: That Congress should prof hibit unilateral US. military intervention in foreign countries resounded throughout many debating tournaments this past year. It was the main artery to research and typ- ing evidence for the 1970 Monsignor Bon- ner Debating Team. The members of the team demonstrated their proficiency in both the art and the purpose of debating by participating against the top teams on the eastern coast and articulating their views on the topic clearly and precisely. Their work was by no means fruitless as the team upheld Bonner's line oratorical tradition. Their success ensures Bonner of a fine team in years to come.
