Through membership in the National Honor Society, those who are elected are able to secure better positions when they leave school or are given a highr rating at whatever college or uni- versity they attend. Membership in the society is the goal of most students who enter high school, and attainment of this goal is really an achievement worth a great deal of praise. Although students who are elected to member- ship in the society IHLISI have grades in the upper third of their class, there are three other require- ments for membership. They are character, lead- ership, and service. Tn the character requirement, personality, hon- esty, sincerity, responsibility, and initiative are considered. Being able to direct those under them and to hold positionss in outside activities are con- sidered under leadership. Service to the school, to classmates, to people outside school, and to or- ganizations are necessary for service requirements. Seniors of 232 display their large honor plaque

One of the highest honors which can be be- stowed on a high school student is membership in the National Honor Society. The purposes and ideals of this society are fourfold, to develop character, to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote leadership, and to stimulate the desire to render service. Of course, the primary requisite is scholarship, but scholarship has as inseparable companions the other three requirements. Every semester the National Honor Society awards plaques to the home rooms with the high- est averages in their respective classes. For the semester which ended in June, 1934, a freshman 12A National Honor Society First Row: L. Meyer, M. F. Andrews, A, Lepper, B. Emriclc, M. Hegerfeld, F. Price, D. Koehlinger, R.

For the semester ending in January, home room 232, a senior room with an average of 5.73, re' ceived the large plaque. Rooms 224, 234, and 322 of the junior, sophomore, and freshman class re- spectively, with averages of 5.20, 4.78, and 4.44, received small plaques. These presentations were made by Eugene Hathaway, president of the Na- tional Honor Society. Another service which this organization renders is to as- sign the various f r e s h m a n home rooms to members of the Honor Society. Through tallcs made in each room, the fresh- men are made somewhat more familiar with the National Honor Society and the require- ments for membership. The members also try to instill in them the desire to attain a high scholastic a v e r a g e together with the desire to develop char- acter, possess leadership, and render service.
