NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was founded by the National Asso- ciation of Secondary School Principals in I92I. While it is not an old organization, it has made great progress since its found- ing. There ore now twenty-five hundred local chapters. The founders of this movement originally established the Society to stimulate the scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter of the students in the schools of our country. As it has grown larger and its scope has become wider, its remote objec- tive has become that of raising the stand- ards of our schools. lt is the present hope ofthe living founders to direct and to center the enthusiasm of the youth of our land, and as they in turn take their places in the world, they will raise our high schools to levels of more effective service by training young people within their sphere of influ- ence. It is the hope of each school that organ- izes a chapter of National Honor oci l that it will serve to create an enthusiasm for scholarship throughout the school, it will encourage a desire on the part of the pupil to render service to the school and to the community, it will help the pupil to evaluate himself and to see if there are ele- ments of leadership within him, it will act as a stimulus to the student to watch those acts that develop character. The constitution of the Plum Township High School chapter was accepted and the charter granted October I6, l94O, The members were chosen by the Society's standards for scholarship Ca B average or betteri, leadership, service, and character. This is the highest honor our school bestows u n itslstudents and should be the goal of ev r enior, Junior, Sophomore, and Fresh- The faculty council is made up of the principal, Mr. Trevaskis, and three teach- ers, Miss Eversole, Miss Sohn, and Mr. Shearer.
