National Honor Society On May 17, 1950, ten new members were initiated by the National Honor Society at a candle light ceremony. Later the old members entertained their parents at a formal tea. Each member of this National Honor Society must maintain a scholastic average of 90, must show ability in leadership, must possess good character traits, and must be loyal in his service to the school. Jerry Swan was elected president; Joyce Gloyd, vice-president; and Kay Carroll, secretary. Miss Piper was the adviser. Student Council The Student Council consisted of three representatives from each class. They were elected at the beginning of the school year by the individual classes. Mr. Horn served as adviser. The officers for this year were Earl Wiehl, President; Neil Barber, Vice- President; and Carol Stoltz, Secretary-Treasurer. The council met at intervals throughout the year to discuss such things as ideas for homecoming and plans for noon hour activities. The Homecoming Dance and the Christmas Party, too, were sponsored by this organization. Back Row—A. Smart, R. Deist. G. Hill, P. Parker, J. Rebholz. Front Row—Mr. Horn. E. Wiehlc N. Barber, C.

The squad was undefeated. It broke all school records and won the conference championship. The team played as a unit and made use of solid reserves. Earl Wiehl, as captain, did a fine job of leading the team on the field. Good blocking and matchless running turned Bill Hinz into the state's leading ground gainer. Not enough can be said about the coaching which was done by Mr. Danielson and his assistant Mr. Bray. These two men turned fundamentals and team play into a winning combina- tion.

Although the boys seemed to be off to a bad start with a defeat from Whitewater, they continued by winning a victory over all the teams in the conference. As a re- sult they won the trophy. In the tournament, that brought the season to a close, lost the first game to Oconomowoc.
