Norma Rae Wfoolever, outstanding in music, dramatics, and journal- ism, was named as salutatorian. Both girls have been outstanding leaders of their class during their four years of high school. Both were elected to membership in the National Honor Society. However, here their paths diverged somewhat, as Margaret won the highest possible honors in National Forensic League-the degree of distinction and a ruby key. Norma Rae was accepted for membership in Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists. However, each student on the Four-Year Honor Roll has been exceptionally active in extra-curricular work, which accentuates the more their feat in achieving scholastic eminence. The Four-Year Honor Roll is the result of four years of consistently high grades- not necessarily honor roll every time, but never more than a point or two below, and at times several points above the required 90. The other members of the Four Year Honor Roll are Barbara Ashley, Charles Barnett, Betty Barth, William Benninghoff, Virginia Blakley, Lucy Bobbs, Debby Jane Bostic, Elbert Bowen, Jeanette Com- ment, Maxine Connett, Harriett Dellinger, Ralph Hengstler, William Hessert, Norman Jueschke, Robert Krauskopf, Frederick Lambert, Helen Meier, Helen Olofson, Faye Pepper, Lucille Prange, Arthur Rodenbeck, Cornelius Ryan, Marian Traxler, La Vonne Waggoner, and Helen Wilson. Of the members on the roll, twenty-nine are members of National Honor Society, eight are members of Quill and Scroll, honor society for journalists, and two are members of National Forensic League, honor group for speakers, thus proving the honor roll members to be outstanding in other than purely scholastic achievements. Three persons have done honor work while at North Side, but have been enrolled as students only two years or less. These three, Bernard Jacobs, Josephine Jones, and Edythe Gross, none the less are cited as honor pupils on perhaps a two-year honor roll. It is interesting to note that publications can claim eleven members of the honor roll as participants, and forensics five. Music has four devotees, and football and basketball produced one each. But what- ever the source, each student has been outstanding academically which is the sole foundation for selection on the Four-Year Honor Roll. The Class of '36 produced one of the largest Four-Year Honor Rolls in the history of North Side, surpassing the former mark of twenty-five honor pupils, a legacy of last year's class. In percentages, an even ten percent of the senior class is on the roster.

Although the frosh had no such ad- vantage, they made wise selections. Under this capable generalship, the army of classes waged a successful campaign on the school year and its exigencies, emerging at the end vic- torious and triumphant, waving the banner of suc- cess. Class oflicers are important cogs in school machinery for school functions cannot proceed unless the students cooperate. This cooperation is effected through the united action of the classes. speaking through their elected leaders. The class leaders are leaders in other fields also. Athletics, by Rog Poorman, Warren Miller, Ralph I-lengstler, and Ed Boedekerg dramatics, by Dick Thieme and Bill Benninghogg music, by Helen Brudi and Bonnie Ben Dureg public speaking, by Betty Boone and Bob Johnson: and student man- agers galore with John and -lim Walley, and -lim Haskins, all represented. The other oHicers not mentioned are equally as prominent in extra-cur- ricular activities. Surely no one can say that they have not suc- ceeded in their generalship, for the Commence- ment Dance, the Senior Play, the Junior Prom, the Soph Tea Dance, and the Freshman Party were among the best North Side has ever en- joyed. ,V .
