Character, service and leadership are evaluated when a student has the first quality, scholarship. To be eligible for membership, a pro- bationist must maintain an average of 85912 in every subject and be approved by the faculty on the basis of t.he other three qualities. Sophomores are ad- mitted as probaftionists during the last part of the school year. Actual membership is limited to stu- dents who are juniors or seniors as required by national regulations. The members of the Sedes Sapientiae Chap- ter seek to foster attitudes of scholarship, leader- ship, character and service among their fellow stu- dents. This is done by recognizing and honoring those who reflect strength and stability of character, an interest in the welfare of their classmates, indus- try, efficiency and intelligence in school work and the ability to lead as well as to follow. Thus the work of Catholic Action is carried on and the Church benefits from enthusiastic leadership. This year's major project was a Miss Courtesy campaign be- gun during March. At an impressive candlelight ceremony, new inductees are presented to their teachers and class- mates. The president awards the international pin. The motto of the Regina members might well be An honor to join, and a pleasure to serve. Angela Myers and Mary Beth Morse look on as Claire Henry, president of the chapter at St. Clare's, R.I., in- ducts Joan Roderick into the Society.

Careful records are kept of her journalistic, as well as her scholastic achievements. At the solemn induction ceremony, each new member receives the gold Quill and Scroll pin which indicates her position on either the Reginalog or the TIARA, and a membership certificate. I
