Each senior member is awarded with a jacket and a Varsity H letter. Before any senior is considered eligible for the above award, he must lirst have cjualilied for the regular school P. T. award. The ollicers consist of a president, a vice-president and .1 secretary-treasurer. The vice-president is elected during his junior year and assumes the otlice of presir dent during his senior year. The sponsors of the Varsity H-Club are the Head Coach of Athletics, Mr. Lockard, and his assistants, who are considered as honorary members of the club, Mr. Russo and Mr. Fetterman. The club strives to improve school athletics by en- couraging participation by the students, by organizing, developing and directing an athletic program which promotes and protects the health and physical welfare of all participants: by initiating and pursuing policies which will safeguard the educational values of inter- scholastic athletics and cultivate the ideals of good sportsmanship, and by promoting uniformity in inter- scholastic competition. The club tries to improve inter- :Xndy Horvath. Don Kelly 0 0 rqfze pam paofeol' scholastic relations by being good hosts to visiting teams. Freshmen are admitted into the H-Club only after they have earned a letter in baseball, basketball, foot- ball or track, have been recommended by any person who is already a member, and have been accepted by a majority vote of the entire club. Every year four evenings of basketball and fun are sponsored by the H-Club to raise money to secure jackets for the senior members. One evening, boxing is included upon the schedule of activities. Among the basketball games are the Alumni vs. Varsity and Faculty vs. Varsity games. Other games include the boys' intramural championship game and the girls' intramural games. In order to retain membership in the Varsity H-Club, a member must maintain a certain scholastic standard established by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. These include a nineteen year old age limit, passing grades in three or more full credit subjects, and not being absent for more than twenty days in one semester. Thus the Varsity H-Club en- courages scholastic achievement and regular school attendance.

Missing from pic- ture: Mildred Slippy vicefpresident Jfanaa fd Qaeafnedd At the closing of the 193i school year, the Heil' wood chapter of the National Honor Society was or' ganized. 'l'here were seventeen juniors and seniors ad- mitted. The charter, number Vt-HS, was received April 20. Scholarship, leadership. character and service were the four cardinal qualifications a student had to possess in order to gain entrance to the society. The newly-organized club elected Evelyn Lingen- felter as presidentg Norma -loiner, vice-presidentg and Rose Marie Detwiler, secretary. These girls were to hold otlice for the forthcoming year. The National Honor Society has made much prog- ress during the year, One of its first projects was to apply for membership cards and pins. The members received these during the first semester. If a member should ever do anything against the charter regulations, his membership is automatically dissolved. Each member had special duties to perform. Com- mittees were chosen to decorate the bulletin board, dust the trophy case and charter, usher at assemblies, help students who find their work difficult, or any other job which might need their assistance. One of the outstanding features of the club was the installation of its twenty-two members. Witli the aid of the Merit Chapter of Barnesboro High School and its sponsor, Miss Mary F. Ray, the program was quite impressive. It was presented at a special assembly to the student body on March 14. Mr. William Norman, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Indiana County Schools, was the guest speaker. He gave a talk on the four cardinal points of the society and congratulated the group on its achievements. After the ceremonies the members of both chapters were served punch and cookies in the home economics de- partment. Mr. Russo, along with sponsoring the society, is also the treasurer, He has done much to promote the establishment of the National Honor Society within our school. Mr. Learn, OLII' supervising principal, acts as the otlicial sponsor for the organization. He has made it possible for the students to perform their various activities. The students have also put forth much effort to make their chapter of the National Honor Society a great success. Below. National Honor Society Oflicers.

btfety Patrol. Row one: Toni Canoe, Kenneth Whitney, Edward Slanoc, Billy Lrrcssley. Row two: David Lewis, Tom Drahnak, Leo Maruschak, Charles Hewitt, Fred Hannak Below are pictured the two lieu' tenants of the Safety Patrol, Fred Hannak and Kenneth Whitney. Walter Friday, cap' tain of the Safety Patrol, is missing from the picture Sluafmlfa Khaled .fiaea The Safety Patrol is an organization made up of ten boys from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. These boys guard the lives of the grade school children. They lead the small children safely home twice each day. Through rain, sleet, snow or sunny weather, the Safety Patrol is always on duty to insure the safety of the smaller members of our school system. Wtilter Friday is Captain, with Kenneth Whitney and Fred Hannak as Lieutenants. Other members are Williriiii Gressley, Tom Ganoe, Tow Drahnak, David Lewis, Leo Maruschak and Edward Slanoc. The members of the Safety Patrol have been per- forming this important school service for the past sev- eral years. Although they have made hundreds of trips home with the children, there has never been a serious accident to harm any of the younger children of the school. These boys give up class time to keep the members of hrst, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades free from unnecessary danger or injury from passing motorists. They direct automobile and pedestrian traffic at intersections where these young students have to pass on their way to their homes. The community owes a debt of gratitude to the Safety Patrol.
