Language honoraries were founded at Overlea to permit interested and qualified students to participate in activities related to the customs and practices of foreign countries. The Spanish, French, and Latin honoraries attempt to engage themselves in matters which concern their specific coun- tries, cultures. They hold their meetings in the foreign languages, take trips which are associated with some aspect of the foreign culture, and carol at Christmas time in their respec- tive languages. The Spanish honorary un- dertook an especially challenging project in organizing. writing, publishing, and sell- ing their own Spanish newspaper. At the same time the French honorary attended the annual production of the The- atre Francaise at Goucher. All groups try to' bring about appreciation of the worldis peoples and their cultures. -e 'e 5 t, 5 Displayilzg superior !lChfl'U0lI1CIlfS in foreign lan- guage, nzvnzbers of the Latin, Spanish, and French Honorfzries furlherwl their I-rnowlezlge in various l.l1fPN!'I'fllI1f pzlrsufls. .:t.,, ,.,M,,., ,M,,,ga 2 r - I , s.-: 9. , -1

Problems concerning revision of the John F. Cassiday Chapter constitution are discussed by members of the National Honor Society. Honoraries symbolize scholastic excellence. Instruction in the mechanisms of psychology is provided by National Honor Society member, Barbara Jakum. 50 The John F. Cassiday Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society represents not only a group of students who display superior academic records, but also an organization that has ideals which embody the qualities of character, leader- ship, and service. A notable service of the Honor Society is the newly established tutoring system which gives assistance lin almost any field of academic studies. Members of this association demonstrate this generations respect for intellectual excellence, providing America with future leaders who will guide the coming generations to a more stable position in a turbulent world.

Assigning parking spaces to senior driv- ers was a responsibility of the Wheel and Safety Club. Under the direction of Mr. Luke Doezal, club members periodically checked the parking lot to assure that all students were parking in their designated spaces. Another of the club's concerns was the promotion of motor safety on school property and all roads. Demonstrating the fine art of changing a tire, Parliamentarian Pele Waskiewicz shows Mr. Dolezal and Wheel and Safety club officers, Treasurer Mike Dean, Secretary Linda Marx, Vice President Janis Rada and President Vicki France, how to react in an emergency. During all lunch shifts, classes and changes of class, the monitors patrolled the halls and stairways. To facilitate the flow of students, the monitors also controlled traffic on the up and down stairways. The school force was given additional power in 1961-65 through a new system of rank. Lieutenants were named to positions of top responsibility, and it was their function to maintain the forces, assuring complete coverage of all school areas.
