NAPANEE i l 'K This year the Napa Chapter of the National Honor Society, which had its beginning a year ago, started out with four members. These four, Walter Healy, Ralph Lui, Reva Decker and Martha Sawyer, had been given the added distinction of being elected in their Junior year. Toward the close of the fall semester eight members from the graduating class were taken in. These were Elaine Giauque, Bryant Fitch, Edith Owen, Arthur Tockey, Ruth Raeder, Hilary Helsley, Dorothy Hansen, and Ferril Nickle. The members of the society are guided in their daily life by the four cardinal principles, namely, Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service. The purpose of the society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of the high school. The following extract from the ritual brings out the ideals of the organization-The emblem of this society is the keystone and the flaming torch. The keystone bears at its base the letters S, L, C, and S, which stand for the four cardinal objectives. As the keystone is placed by the l uilder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must be held firm and true to the purposes of life by the virtues represented in this symbol. Thus the keystone symbolizes the high ideals of this Society. The flaming torch is the emblem of our purpose. To ltear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep lzurning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve, these purposes are symbolized in the torch. These are the high ideals of this organization, which forms a nucleus of responsible pupils. It is the highest honor in the school and is some- thing to be worked for by every student. l'l'wenty-threel

NAPANEE s The State Honor Society stands for the highest ideals oi' scholarship and character. To be 'a memlzer, a student must have an unusual scholar- ship record. This restricts the membership to a choice iew. Napa Chapter 119, of the California Scholarship Federation was oiii- cially installed on April 28, 1926. Ralph Lui was the first president. Under his guidance the new society took form and was well estal lished under the second president, Starr Northrop. Walter Healy was elected president in the fall term of 1926, by a group of fifteen meml ers. During the spring semester of 1927 there were thirty-two memlzers with Hilary Helsley as president. Members of this Society are entitled to Wear the pin of the local Chapter and permanent pins are awarded Seniors who have earned mem- lership for at least two-thirds of the high school period. In addition to the pin they have the California Scholarship Federation seal embossed up- on their diploma, permanent record, and their college recommendation. Last year three Seniors were awarded these permanent privileges. They were Frieda Fullert, Starr Northrop, and Charles Raeder. The two toys are attending Leland Stanford University and University of California, respectively. We hope that the present Senior class will add to our permanent roll of honor. fTwenty-fourj
