To be elected to Phi Beta Kappa in college is an honor much prized by college students and the possibility of election is a real stimulus to scholarship. The need of some similar organization among high schools has long been recognized. It is the belief of those who have sponsored the National Honor Society that it will meet this need. The constitution of our chapter defines the object of the Society as follows: “To create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character and scholarship in the pupils of the Port Huron High School.” Election to membership is therefore, based upon character, scholarship, service, and leadership. To be eligible to membership a student must rank in the upper one-fourth of his class. Election cannot take place earlier than the last semester of the Junior year when a limited number may be chosen. Altogether, not more than 15 per cent of any class may be elected to membership. Most of them will be chosen in the Senior Year. The Chapter Council, consisting of the Principal and four members of the faculty elects the members. The local chapter was organized at Commencement time last year. Application for a Charter was made at once but the Charter was not received [ 26 ]
