A committee consisting of Pauline Stephan, Carolyn Snow, Nancy Glover, Allison Phinney, James Killam, and Donald Davis wrote a con¬ stitution, and sent in the credentials necessary to make the Reading Chapter an actuality. The object of the chapter, as stated in the constitution, is to “create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to ren¬ der service, to promote worthy leadership, and to en¬ courage the development of character in the pupils of Reading High School.” Members are elected from a group of candidates of outstanding scholastic ability, on the basis of service, leadership, and character. From the senior class, those twenty-two students who had maintained an average of eighty-seven or better throughout their three years in high school were automatically chosen as charter mem¬ bers of the Honor Society. Underclassmen may be cho¬ sen as probationary members, and, if they continue to satisfy the requirements of the chapter, they may be elected to full membership by a committee of representa¬ tives from both student body and faculty. Although primarily a senior activity, the Honor So¬ ciety benefits the entire school. The charter members did not have as much lime as they would have liked to plan activities, since the chapter was not fully organized until early spring, but the Honor Society is destined to become one of the most active school organizations. 12
