The primary aim of the first school Honor Society in Chicago in 1920 was to encourage high scholarship. It was then called Phi Beta Sigma. This is still an important aim, but it is now accompanied by the other cardinal principles: character, service, and ieadership. The Norwood Chapter of National Honor Society was chartered En 1929, and the pres- ent constitution was adopted in 1941, mak- ing it possible to elect members at the end of the eleventh grade. Not more than 15 per cent of any class may be elected; 5 per cent at the end of each of a pupil's last three semesters. Those eligible scholastically are voted upon by a faculty committee on the Kyonor Society basis of the other three qualities emphasized by the society. This year Honor Society has backed many proiects. Football, basketball, and baseball schedule pencils were sold to raise money for the club. As an incentive for the lower class- men, pennants are given to the homerooms with the highest scholastic standings. Two assemblies, held semi-annually, are sponsor- ed by the society at which time new members are inducted. Scholarship tests, sponsored by the Na- tional Honor Society, are open to any mem- ber who wishes to take them. Page Eighteen TI: 9 9

DOLORES ROBERTS Secreto ry ................. ..... J OAN BROAD US Treasurer ................ ANN ROHDENBURG If it werenit for a pair of slacks there might not be any Girls' Council. A few years ago Miss Kehm asked for representatives from oil the home rooms to discuss the issue of slacks at school together and with their home rooms. The result was Cl discussidn against wearing slacks to school and the or- ganizing of a Girlg' Advisory Council. Girls' Council has progressed a lot since those days. Whenever a question arises con- cerning the girls, Council gets right down to try to settle it. They have taken upon them- selves the obligations of many altruistic proj- ects. Their Red Cross ioint-chqirmen, u sen- ior and a sophomore, led the school in the collection of toilet articles for a Junior Red Cross School Chest for a school overseas still devastated by the war. They have sent food parcels to a teacher in Norway, books to a teacher in Germany, and directed the Page Twenty-one collection of toys and games for displaced children in the American Zone. For the high school, Girls' Council spearheaded the cam- paign for refrigerated drinking fountains and Looks toward a third one. The new silver service for the school has begun to make an impressive appearance. This year Girls' Council has added two silver trays and is looking for an antique set of cream and sugar, also. Last summer the cocc-cola fund paid for a cot and couch cover for the faculty men's rest room. Girls' Council meets on Tuesday mornings. For high school girls it plans much of Girtsi Week and May Day Style Show. It cooper- ates with Student Council on all school pro- iects. For fun at the end of the school year it picnics on Miss Kehm's Kentucky hill top. Because the girls enioy the council, it is a success.
