Honor Society Aim: To Foster Fourfold Development Plan NATIONALI— HONOR -SOCIETT , I Stanley Adams, John Bennett, Ann Berkshire, Marilyn Berry, Ingrid Black, Nancy Bogess, Bobby Boyett, Morris Bird, Sandra Cheatham, Jane Colt, Joe Eldridge, Mary Lou Esders, Nora Eskin, Arnold Eskin, Gwynn Floyd, Jeanne Freeman, Dorothy Ann Gilmore, Martha Green. The National Honor Society is founded on the principle that true education creates a well-rounded personality in the development of the character of the individual and in his relations to those around him. Therefore, students who are building in their school life this fourfold foundation of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, are hon- ored by membership in the National Honor Society. A special faculty committee selects the members at Pensacola High School. In nominating the candidates, the committee ascertains that the student is of good character, that he has at least a B average, that he properly displays leadership abilities at school and at home, and that he is a member of two school-sponsored clubs. Only ten per cent of the seniors can become members. Upon induction, each student elig- ible for membership pledges to build a strong character in himself and others, to further the advancement of schol- arship, to carry aloft the torch of leadership, and to serve his school, his community, and his country in the interests of humanity. John Bennett, President; Druwando Woolam, Vice President; Susan Jacobson, Secretary; and Ann Berkshire, Treasurer, pose for a picture.

The student council has rounded out one of its better years in the line of school spirit. Backed by a group of officers willing to go so far as to rig themselves up in the dress of the opposite sex and parade before the spectators at a half-time period during one of our basket bail games. This year is one of which the student council may be proud. Whether the so-called style show could be called a draw- ing card or not, it at least proved the council's school spirit, and certainly was not a flop. The P.A. system sounded their encouraging call for at- tendance to all sporting events throughout the year and certainly the call was heard, because it produced the big- gest and peppiest pep rally this school has ever experi- enced. Participation by every home room evidenced the full cooperation of the Student Council. Two fine editions of School Spirit by the Student Council no doubt had the intended effect on the student body. The homecoming week's success was largely due to the student council's spirited drive. And as the spring brought back baseball they were at it again and many found out for the first time that this great American pastime was also another one of Pensa- cola High School's outstanding competition firsts. r Student Council's Pep Rally pays off in boosting School Spirit as stu- dents cheer Tigers to 14-0 victory in Tiger Stadium.

The members of the Pensacola Chapter of the National Honor Society participated in many first semester proj- ects. At the beginning of the school year they acted as guides at the Sophomore Orientation Day. A special com- mittee was responsible for the changing each week of the bulletin board in the main hall. At Christmastime, the Chap- ter gave toys and clothing to eight small children in foster homes, who otherwise would not have had an enjoyable Christmas. This year, as before, the Honor Society sponsored the Honor System and the Student Guidance Clinic at Pensa- cola High School. The chapter set a precedent this year in establishing a scholarship of fifty dollars to be given to a needy senior who is best qualified for college work and who has at least a 2.5 average. This award was given on Class Day. The chapter also gave the annual Honor Society Award to the outstanding senior boy. The National Honor Society feels that it is recognizing worthy students, not only for their past achievements but also for their fine promise of continued service and schol- arship.
