MYRTLE LEAF THE STAFF Editor—Elizabeth Pearson Assistant Editor—Burton Wilson Business Manager—Roy Anderson Advertising—Phyllis Roush Exchange—Glenda Lillie Humor Editors: Elizabeth Daniels Bonnie Wise Donna Ward Audrey Goodman Sports Editors : Roy Anderson Harry Summers Proof Reader—Audrey Goodman Typists: Donna W’ard Donna Floyd Aura Lee Sheedy Ramona Francisco Callie Smith Copy Readers : Rosalie Laird Elizabeth Daniels Alma Thomas Hazel Oberman Wanda Hoffman Pat Guerin Advisor—Mrs. Marcia Rae Wells The MYRTLE LEAF this year has been efficiently edited by Elizabeth Pearson; she has worked tirelessly on each edition. Phyllis Roush has ably solicited the advertising which pays for the printing of our school paper at the Herald Printing Company Because of her efforts, we have been able to have several pictures of school groups, the cuts of the myrtle trees and the Bobcats. The latter adorn our sport page which has been edited by Roy Anderson. Editing the MYRTLE LEAF is a project of the senior English class. The May edition is traditionally edited by the juniors and the incoming staff and is devoted to the graduating seniors and their commencement. As war-time restrictions on travel were lifted, a meeting of the Oregon State High School Journalism Association was held November 24th at Eugene. Editor Elizabeth Pearson, assistant editor Burton Wilson with the advisor, Mrs. Wells, attended the all-day session and received many helpful suggestions for making a better school paper.

TORCH HONOR SOCIETY First Row—Pot Guerin, Alma Thomos, Wanda Hoffman, Shirley Tram, Rosalie Laird, Corlyss Lucas, Louise Epperson, Ramona Froncisco, Elizabeth Pearson, Martina Kmcheloe. Second Row—Mr. Dunning, Donna Word, Horold Roy, Nancy Hoga, Leland Harry, Walter Smith, Horry Summers, Eddie Ellis, Fronk Hoffmon, Donna Floyd. The Torch Honor Society had a very successful year under the leadership of the following officers: Wanda Hoffman, president; Wilter Smith, vice-president; Ramona Francisco, secretary; Leland Harry, treasurer; Harold Ray, sergeant-at-arms; and with the help of Mr. Dunning as advisor. The object of this organization is to induce students to attain a higher scholastic standard and to afford a worth-while goal for such students to reach. To become a member of Torch Honor you must have earned during your first school year, 28 points, which entitles you to wear a one-bar pin. By the end of the second year you must have earned 58 points, entitling you to wear a tw-bar pin, and the third year you must have earned a total of 90 points in order to receive a “Torch Pin.” If during your fourth year you earn enough to have 124 points you are entitled to keep the “Torch Pin.” The number of points earned by a student is based on grades and participation in varied school activities. A “one” counts five points, a “two” counts three points, a “three” counts two points, a “four” counts nothing and a “five” deducts one point from your total. The first event of the year was the initiation of new members in November. The students to be initiated were dressed very unbecomingly in loose white gowns with signs pinned on them. In the afternoon they were taken singly into one of the rooms blindfolded to be put through the initiation. That night a nice banquet was given. A delicious chicken dinner, prepared by the Home Economics girls with the aid of Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Floyd, was served. One-bar pins were presented to Shirley Train, Harry Summers, Corlyss Lucas, Martina Kincheloe, Frank Hoffman, Nancy Haga, and Louise Epperson. A two-bar pin was presented to Ramona Francisco. On December 7, a dance was given at the Legion hall to pay for the banquet and other expenses. It proved to be very successful with an attendance of about 50. The last event of the year was the program given by the Torch Society for the eighth graders from all districts on Eighth Grade Day. TORCH BEARERS—Pat Guerin, Wanda Hoffman, Rosalie Laird, Elizabeth Pearson, Harold Ray, Walter Smith, Alma Thomas, Donna Ward, Donna Floyd, Mary Ann Cooper. TWO BAR PINS—Ramona Francisco, Ruth Reed, Leland Harry. ONE-BAR PINS—Shirley Train, Harry Summers, Corlyss Lucas, Martina Kincheloe, Frank Hoffman, Nancy Haga, Louise Epperson.
