32 TROPHIES The trophies are among Nitro High Schoolfs most sought for honors. There are now five trophies in the trophy case on which students of the school may have their names inscribed. The music award which was donated by the lovers of music in Nitro, is given to the student who shows the most outstanding ability in music for the year. The senior scholastic trophy, which was donated by Monsanto Chemical Company, is given each year to a member of the senior class who is in the upper 10 percent of the class in scholarship, and who ranks high in char- acter, leadership, and service to the school. The Nitro Pencil Company donated a trophy which is given to the student who shows the most improvement during the year. The Hi-Y donated a trophy to the school to be given to the person who is selected as the best all-around athlete. In choosing this person, sportsman- ship, training, and activity, are considered. The Citizenship trophy, which was donated by the Student Council, Is given to the student who Is chosen as the best school citizen. This selec- tion Is made by the student body in an election each year. The Student Coun- cil has set up 10 points upon which the candidates for the election are chosen. These points are: punctuality and attendence; care of school pro- perty; respect for school authority; honesty; industriousness; helps keep school tidy; thoughtfulness of others; support of school activities; observa- tion of principles of sanitation; obedience to school and state laws. The winners of these trophies are selected by the members of the faculty, except the Hi-Y trophy, for which the winner Is chosen by the members of the club. As the annual is being printed this year before the selection of the trophy winners, we will not be able to recognize them here. Nevertheless, we wish to congratulate those who will receive them.
