National dlonxvi Society The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization with headquarters in Washington. D. C. It came into being as a definite need arose for the recognition of honor students in schools throughout the land. For years these students were seen only in the background and special attention given those prominent in athletics. Now in many schools National Honor Society groups have been formed. The local chapter was organized in 1937. Since that date 130 students of Petersburg High have become members. The purpose of the Honor Society is to promote leadership, build an enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, and to de- velope character in the students. Students are selected from the junior and senior classes. Those pupils having a high scholastic average are considered as candidates to be voted on by the faculty. New members are inducted at a special initiation party. The school service project carried on by the local chapter is the selection of an honor roll from all classes at the end of each six weeks. Students having an A or B plus average receive top honor.while those having a B average receive honorable mention. If a student receives a D he is disqualified. The names are posted in the hall of the main building and appear in the Viking Log and the Grant County Press. This year Honor Society members sold programs during the basketball tournament. The officers for 1953-54 are: President. Robert Whitmer; Vice President. Amogene Goldizen; Secretary, Juan- ita Lewis; Messenger. Keith McUlty. New members this year are: Delores Sites, Cleta Keplinger, Betty Smith, Ruth Cuppett, Jimmy Rotruck, Zenella Johnson, Nadine Glass. Mary Jane Mitchell, Keith Inskeep, Billy Riggleman, Donald Graham.
