ORGANIZATIONS 12 ORGANIZATIONS National Honor Society The Port Huron Chapter of the National Honor Society has been active for many years. The society stands for superiority in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. In December, 1932, twelve new members were elected to the society. These were Ella McIntyre, Mary Slutsky, Norman Barnes, Enid Paige, Stewart McCabe, Isabel Cochrane, Kenneth Furman, Charlotte Hamil- ton. Jean West, Ruth Campbell, Vera Patterson, and Dorothy Kopal- nick. Formal initiation ceremonies were held on the evening of January 9, 1933. The active members, Alan Brown, Kate Davie, James Crawford, and Thomas Parent initiated the new members. Music was played by Mr. Hess and two of his pupils. Reverend Jonathan Turner later gave an inspiring talk. On the evening of May 17, five new members were elected to the society. These were Betty Daly. Gladys Clark, Frances Stallbuck.

SPORTS 11 Tennis Tournament Mr. Mills was faculty sponsor to a highly successful tennis tourna- ment, the matches of which were played on the Pine Grove Courts. The first brackets were rapidly filled and a second tournament was necessitated. Thirty people entered the first tournament and twenty- four entered the second, showing that a high interest in the ancient sport exists among the student body. One feature of the tournament was the number of girls entered in the tournament, as the playoffs gave evidence of many future Lenglens and Moodys in the tourney. At this writing, the only finished bracket, 1 1th grade, was won by Gar Henry in straight sets from Verlin Treend. The other winners will be decided and an all-school champ will be chosen.
