NATIONAL HO OR OCIET Y Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, are the qualities a student must attain to be eligible for the National Honor Society. Each year ten per cent of the Senior class and five per cent of the Junior class may be inducted. However, the final decision as to who will be in- ducted is left up to the teachers and a special faculty committee. This year the National Honor Society was very active and worked on projects for the recognition of honor students. The National Honor Society presented two teas for students on the honor roll. The first one, held in November, was for the Juniors and Seniors. The second one, held in March, was for the Freshman and Sophomores. With the cooperation of the Perkasie Womenis club, the National Honor Society also had a plaque made for the recognition of students on the honor roll.
