NAPANEE Up to the leginning oi' the school year C1926-19275, the Press Club had not Leen very active and interest in the club flagged somewhat. To stimulate this dying interest, a formal banquet :.t which Mrs. Vingie Roe Lawton, well known authoress spoke, was held. All contributors to the year's first edition of the lVligwan were invited and the affair was highly enjoyable. At that time, the club had but five members and it was apparent that the membership requirement of three articles published in the Mig- wan was too severe. With this in view, a meeting was held and a revision of the eligil ility qualifications was made to read as follows: To be eligible for membership in the Press Club, a student must ful- Iill one of the four following requirements: 1. He must have the editorship of the NIEHS or the Napanee. 2. He must have held the associate editorship of the NUHS and have one article pul lished in the Migwan . 3. He must have done exceptional work on the NUHS . 4. He niust have had two articles published in the Migwan. To become a member of the club, the unanimous consent of the mem- bers is necessary. The Press Club has not, as yet, achieved anything noteworthy beyond a good start, I ut it is hoped that by gradually increasing club activities year Ly year and by fostering the now-awakened and growing interest in thc literary field, that some day the Press Club will become an important factor in the life of Napa High.

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

Having started with a group of ten boys, the present charter memleers, the society now has a total oi twenty-three enrolled, among whom is Mr. E. E. Crawford, the principal. The Five Mental Hazards, that is the initiating committee, Worked out an excellent initiatory system for the new corners. George A. Strong, the enthusiastic advisor, has been one of the main advocates ole the society. A handsomely engraved cup has been presented by the Society to he the perpetual trophy for the interclass golf championship winners. As the Napanee goes to press, the tournaments have not yet leen held so the winner cannot he announced. A committee working on the establishment of a three hole golf course. In a year or two this hope may 'ce realized. As evidenced by the Student liody, this organization is a permanent oneg and an excellent one. No where else can a group of toys get together and have a real good time--incidentally with faculty members as part of the crowd. fTwenty-sixj
