HHTIUHHL HUHUH SUUIETU The National Honor Society as it exists in secondary schools today was founded in 1921 and it was the proud purpose ofthe founders that the organization be flexible and readily adaptable to the policies of local administration of the individual school, within the principles ofthe stated standards of the society. Four years ago a chapter of the organization was established at Pembroke High School at an impressive ceremony of induction. The present members were inducted at an appropriate assembly held late in April, 1949. The chosen students met the high standards of scholarship, character, leadership, and service, qualities necessary to be admitted to the Society. The National Honor Society endeavors to create a desire for growth toward higher ideals, a devotion toward duty, and a hope of developing well-balanced personalitiesg so that, as citizens the elected members will exercise an uplifting influence on those with whom they come in contact. It is noteworthy to state here that all members except one of the present group are on their way to higher educational goals. JOAN CLARKE, '50 41381-

CLUB affair. . . High school pupils were taught all the elements of servicing and explain- ing the books and were in charge of the booths. Little tikes were given special hours to browse from booth to booth, ask about the books, look them over, and they even carried pencil and paper with them to take notes and tell their folks about them later. ln early December, the club invited friends, teachers, and parents to a Christmas Tea and Book Review, which was held in the Home Economics Living Room, attractively decorated with Christmas appointments. Mrs. Chester Ray and Mrs.john Gifford poured. A most appreciative audience enjoyed the reviews given with professional poise and efficiency by Mary Stroud, who discussed The Way Watt by A. B. Guthrieg Shirley Holt, who delightfully presented the story of Tfau Afiitzz of Afbvrt Srbzlmfitzw' by Charlesjoy and Melvin Arnold, Diane Davis vividly told of the struggle of man against man, and man against himself as portrayed in the book Lim' Willa lsigbrzzirzg by Mitchell Wilson. Though the club is yet in its infancy, it has come to be recognized as an important group in the life of the school and for so making it, I wish to express my thanks to each and everyone for his co-operation and sincere interest.
