 WERE RECEIVED Or rather,—honors were earned, for each honor was the reward for an outstanding service or talent. In this way the students and the teachers pay tribute to those who have excelled in the faculty of making everyday living easier for their friends, whether it be by a smile and friendly word to a new or lonely student, a minute of help given here and there to a busy teacher, or an hour spent in making an algebra paper especially perfect. Honors were earned.

On this page you sec the honors bestowed on outstanding scholars. Our school early realized the need for recognition of scholar- ship, and so in 1922, a charter was obtained for our National Honor Society. Valedictor- ians and salutatorians arc the seniors with the highest and next highest grade averages for their entire academic career. One of the first awards established at Nor- man 1 ligh for outstanding outside activities was the Garrison Award, given annually to the football player with the best grades. In 1949, the families of Steve Wampler and Fred Thompson set up a cash award, also annual, to be given to the friendliest and best liked senior, as elected by the student body. The DARs, American Legion, Rotary Club, and re- cently, the Business and Professional Women, have given awards to faculty selected “best citizens.” and teadeteAifr %ciaCitieA.
