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

On March 20, twenty-five members of the Pine Cone staff attended Journalism Day in Little Rock. This is the third annual journalism meet sponsored by the Little Rock Tiger”. At the meet Clair Tovey, Louise Stich, Jane Hill, and Anne Collier made talks on the various departments they represent. The greatest improvement in the paper itself this year is the addition of a column of serious comments called Smatterings”, located on the editorial page. This brisk, up-to-date column has proved very interesting and successful. This is also the first year that two girls, Johnnie Maule and Clair Tovey, have ever occupied the positions of bookkeeper and collector, respectively, on the business staff of the paper. At the Fayetteville journalism meet the Pine Cone was given all-state honors along with the Grizzly” of Fort Smith and the Little Rock Tiger”. Myra Till placed first in the news story contest, while Fred Marshall won in the sports story contest. Carlton Currie won second with a sports column, and Louise Stich placed second in the book review contest. The column, Smatterings”, also won second place for its co-writers, Silas Dunn, Thurman Ragar, and Louise Stich. The Pine Cone belongs to the Arkansas High School Press Association and the Mississippi Valley Press Association. Twenty-two of the members of its staff made Quill and Scroll this year.
