TORCH HONOR SOCIETY Torch Bcorort woro: Donold Dovonport, Robert Dotlofun, Romono Froncitco, Dick Cill. Lolond Horry. Pot Ovortoo ond Burton W.l ©n. 'T'H'E officers of the Torch Honor Society for the year 1946-47 were: president, Shirley Train; vice president, Harry Summers; secretary-treasurer, Nancy Haga. Mr. Harvey was appointed as advisor. The Torch is an honor organization and membership in it is won by earnest endeavor in scholarship, good citizenship, and taking part in school activities. The purpose of the Torch Honor Society is to promote school citizenship in its broader sense. It is intended to round out the activities of the student and give him a broader view of his school life. It should promote scholarship, school spirit and good fellowship by interesting students in as many different lines of activities as he can take part in advantageously. The Society is governed by a point system. The points are earned through grades, athletics and taking part in other 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 the total. To become a member of the Torch Honor Society you must have earned during your first school year 38 points, which entitles you to wear a one-bar pin. By the end of the second year you must have earned 78 points, which entitles you to a two-bar pin. The third year you must have earned a total of 120 points in order to receive a “Torch Pin.” If during your fourth you earn enough to have 145 points, you are entitled to keep the “Torch Pin.” Thirteen new sophomore members were admitted to the Torch Society this year. Those receiving the one-bar pins were: Marvene Christensen, Joyce Compton, Amy Davenport, Maureen Evans, Edward Gilkison, Geraldine Huntley, Donna Krewson Lila Mae Laird, Louella Lobdell, Jerry Matson, Evelyn Oberman, Dale Ohlsen and Donna Jean Young. Members entitled to wear the two-bar pins were: Eddie Ellis, Louise Epperson, Geraldine Ginn, Nancy Haga, Frank Hoffman, Martina Kincheloe, Corlyss Lucas, Harry Summers and Shirley Train.
