'VHE NINETEEN HUNDRED 'rH1R'i'v i2,xsEoN Paseo Honor Roll If the honor roll may be taken as a gauge, scholastic standards at Paseo are going up. XVhen the honor rolls at the end of the first semester were compiled, it was found that twenty-six students were eligible for the Highest Honor Roll and sixty for the Gen- eral Honor Roll. This compares very fav- orably with the mid-semester honor rolls, compiled a year ago, which list ten on the Highest and seventy-one on the General Honor Roll. Pupils eligible for the High- est Honor Roll must be carrying at least four solids, or the equivalent, two non- solids to count as one solid. An E average must be maintained in each subject. There are two sets of standards for the General Honor Roll. A student must carry at least three solids and one non-solid, lor the equiv- alent, and the final semester grades must meet either of the following conditions: No grade below M and as many as three E's in solids, or two E's in solids and two Es in non-solidsg or no grade below S and as many as two Els in solids or one If in a solid and two E's in non-solids. The grade received from physical education counts the same as the grade received in a non-solid in placing pupils on the honor rolls, but does not count in keeping pupils off of them. Another honor roll is compiled at the end of the year, and it is to be hoped that Paseo students will maintain, or even better, the high standard of scholarship, which was 5Qt at the middle of the year. Oration Speaker Hubert Presley, l'aseo's representative in the Kansas City Star's Uratorical contest, placed sixth in the district finals. His ora- tion on Our Constitution was very well presented. ln his oration. Hubert explained how and under what conditions the consti- tution was drawn up, and showed its advan- tages. He said, lt provided three ways by which the people were to be fortified against mis-government: first. the terms of offices were made shortg second. the three operative branches of the government were to be pro- vided with checks and balances: and third, the individual was guaranteed far-reaching rights not to be violated. In his four- minute extemporaneous speech on The Constitution and the Doctrine of State Rights. He showed the trend of our gov- ernment at the present time. Hubert proved a most able representative of Paseo. -16-
