Most Honorable Scholars ' MAYBE SOMEDAY you, too, will sit on the edge of your chair during one of the impressive tapping ceremonies held twice a year and wait expectantly for some one to bestow upon you a huge safety pin with a blue and gold ribbon which symbolizes the truth and honor that are keywords of the National Honor Society. If you have a MBP average, you are eligible for approval by the faculty and the vote of the present members of the club. ln 1927 the Ponce chapter, then under the direction of Mrs. Pearl Davis and Mrs. Susan Archer, was the first of its kind in Florida to receive its charter. Today it is sponsored by Mrs. Edith Mason and holds a meeting once a month. A flaming torch and keystone, symbol of a National Honor Society member, stands for the outstanding qualities of character, leadership, service, and scholarship. Admittance into N. H. S. is probably the highest ambition of a high school student as well as the highest honor a high school can give him. -MILDRED GARCIA 49
