national honor society Until last year the National Honor Society was strictly an honor organization, with meetings being held only to elect officers, induct new members, and plan the annual banquet. This tradition was broken in 1962, when it was decided to raise money to sponsor a scholarship. Again this year the society set a scholarship as their goal, raising money at basketball games and at a bake sale in April. One regular business meeting was held on the second Friday of each month, and a special program was scheduled for the fourth Friday. Forty-two new members were inducted into the society at a special assembly on February 8. The annual banquet for the members, their parents, and the faculty was held in the spring. The climax of the year’s activities was the awarding of the National Honor Society scholarship on Class Day.

The Student Council is the student governing body of Paxton High; its members are elected by the student body each spring. This year the Council placed special emphasis on Student Council activities at the District, State, and National levels. Terry Hustedt, as president of the Champaign District Student Councils, was a delegate to the national convention at San Jose, California. Three students were sent to the summer Student Council workshop at Charleston, Illinois. The Council also sent four delegates to the State Convention in Chicago. Homecoming, and the American Field Service Dinner which climaxed a year of money-making projects helped to support the International Exchange program in Paxton High. The Council initiated post-game sock hops that found immediate popularity among the Student Body. Here we celebrated our victories, and made our defeats seem less disastrous. Another new activity that the Council initiated was the formation of a Student Exchange program between high schools. Mary Phillips was selected as our “ambassador to Champaign,” while Sue Overman was sent to Paxton for a week. This program had a most successful start, and will be extended in future years. 30
