„ THE VALLEY LEGEND NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship Character Leadership Service THIS NATIONWIDE organization is for the recognition of the best achievements attained in high school, and is without question the greatest honor that can be offered to any high school student. In order to qualify for election, a student must rank in the upper one-third of his class in scholarship. Character, leadership, and service to the school are equally considered in giving the honors. Elections in the Senior Class are limited to fifteen percent of the class, and in the Junior Class to five percent, each year. The National Honor Society emblem is a very beautiful key, which is obtained either as a pin or as a watch charm. Last year, Rushford’s Chapter of this organization initiated Margaret Peterson, who was selected from the Junior Class. During the past year, she has been president of the Rushford Chapter. Elections were made by a Faculty Committee on Honors, composed of five members of the high school faculty. This year the following students were elected: Seniors: RACHEL FRISVOLD VALBORG JULSRUD FLORENCE JOHNSON ASMUND HIGHUM Juniors: ORVILDA PETERSON SYGNE JAASTAD 19 3 2 I PACK TWENTY-FIVE )
