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-

HTHLETIC HSSUCIHTIUH Under the able direction of Mr. james Lynch, faculty manager of athletics, Mr. Gor- don Pratt and Mrs. Ruth Cote, coaches, the Association spent a busy year securing funds to up- hold and develop the athletic program of the school. The sale of colorful red and white Trojan T-shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts and bandanas helped fill the coffers of the athletic fund. On election day a very successful tag day was held and another goodly sum was realized. The project which really topped off the fund-raising was Stunt Night. All the classes participated, but the Seniors won with their portrayal of Casey at the Bat. The talent displayed by the seventh grade portends many successful dramatic events to come during that group's stay in the school. The initial South Shore Victory Dance, sponsored by the Cheerleaders in co-operation with the girls' basketball team, was more than a success in every way. Many students from Kingston and Duxbury came to dance and to vote for King and Queen of the South Shore League. The highlight of the dance was the crowning of Robert Winchester and Barbara Erikson fPem- brokej as King and Queen. Sally Goodman and George Libby did a fine job with their assignment of selling tickets at the basketball games. Our appreciation goes to them and to the girls of the Home Economics classes who made and sold candy for us. Thank youwall of you-for our successful year! JOAN CLARKE, 'so l40l'
