flaticutal atto+t i Society The National Honor Society Is a nation-wide organization with headquar- lers in Washington, D. C. It came into being as a definite need arose for the recognition of honor students in schools throughout the land. Our chapter was formed in 1939. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to promote leadership, build an enthusiasm for scholarships, stimulate a desire to render ser- vice, and to develop character in the students. Students are selected from the Junior and Senior classes. Those with a 2 point average or better 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 our local chapter is the selection of honor students from all the classes at the end of each six weeks. Students having A or B plus averages receive top honor, with B average, honorable men- tion. If a student has received a D he is disqualified. These names are posted in the hall of the main building and appear in the Viking Log and the Grant County Press. The members for this year are: President, Donald Graham; Vice President, Delores Sites; Secretary. Ruth Cuppett; Messenger. Billy Riggleman; Mary Jane Mitchell, Cleta Keplinger and Keith Inskeep. First Row—Cleta Keplinger, Delores Brooks, Delores Sites, Mary Jane Mitchell, Sharon Roby. Second Row—Naomi Stark, Wilma Wampler, Esther Frazier, Freda Smith.
