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.

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.
