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
