Because of the qualifications necessary in order to become a member, election to the National Honor Society is considered one of the highest honors that can be attained by a high school student. In order to qualify, the student must excell not only in scholarship, but also on three other very desirable attributes—character, leadership, and service. Election of the thirty-two members chosen from the upper one-third of the 1936 Senior Class by a committee of nine teachers, over whom Mr. Dial, principal, presides, was announced March 26. The successful candidates are: J. W. Adams, Judith Alexander, Marguerite Baker, Charles Bowden, Beverly Bridges, Mary Chew Brummett, Genevieve Cook, Edward Dunlap, Silas Dunn, Ann Eddins, Jane Hill, Claralie Knox, Aline Kraeszig, Elva Lee Little, Johnnie Maule, Patsy McBryde, Jimmy McCain, Ola McDonald, Norman Merritt, Buddy Norton, Lurline Owen, Hallie Raines, Billy Ritchie, Margaret Robinson, Doris Roebuck, Allen Sellars, Catherine Ann Shepherd, Louise Stich, Myra Bell Till, Clair Tovey, Ralph Wenzel, and Marguerite Wilson. Membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the graduating class. Candidates eligible for membership must have a scholarship rank in the upper third of their respective classes and must have spent at least two semesters in Pine Bluff High School. The Pine Bluff chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1923, and the total membership is now over three hundred. There are more than a hundred chapters of the society in the United States, fourteen of these being in Arkansas. The new members of the Pine Bluff chapter were installed in assembly at the high school May 1. Installation was in charge of alumni members. 19 3 6

Last Will and Testament [CONTINUED] Curtis Hankins proudly bestows his flaming tresses upon Red Bennett with the hope that they appeal to the fairer sex as much as his did. Because the senior class forces her to, Farrar Martin sorrowfully leaves her giggle to Martha Beall who she feels can fully do justice to it. Jimmy Ryland leaves his best wishes to Miss Frazier and hopes she finds another football player she likes as well. Gerry Oliver leaves to take a ride in the Model T. (To the Altar?) All the hitch hikers of the chemistry class sorrowfully leave Mr. Love because he didn’t understand them. Katherine Wulbern reluctantly leaves Frank Forgcy with all her affections. Jimmie Winters leaves his English book to the Fire Department because it’s all wet. Herman Hankins leaves the control of Elton Taylor to anyone who can manage it. The Pine Cone Staff leaves a petition for a more attractive workhouse for all future keyhole peepers” and scoop seekers.” Thomas Madding leaves that deceptively peaceful appearance to his brother Joe. Tommy Priakos left Laura Jean McDonald, and this year she departs to go to him. Neal Martin leaves her good looks to anyone in the junior class who deserves them. The Senior Play cast leave all their missing cues to Mrs. Beall. Judy Alexander’s ready to go because all her reasons are leaving too. Frank Reed insists that he has to leave. Good-bye. Catherine Ann Shepherd and Beverly Bridges are bidding adieu because they can’t think of anything else better to do. Sellars and Jarvis bequeath their badly worn cameras upon the 1937 Staff. Hcrshel Sturdivant leaves his joyful laugh to re-echo down the corridors after he’s gone. The Holdcrfields leave their twinship to the McPhails who will have to vie with the Hutsons. To next year’s annual staff we of the Zebra of ’36 leave the annual room with the hope that they love, cherish, and sweep it as well as we did. To be frank, the senior class is leaving because the time has come and they made C averages. McBryde and Railsback fearfully sign this will—and run— Signed, McBRYDE and RAILSBACK, Attorneys at Hooey. ¥ [Page Twenty-three]
