T iiE true meaning of our organization is found in the opening lines of the Pro Merito song. This club is open to all seniors who maintain an 85 average through their four years of high school. The officers chosen for this year were Richard Clapp. Imperator; Jack Kettell. Ductor; Marilyn Dyer. Scriba; and Judy Bernard. Praefectus Aerarii. Our advisers are Miss Harrington and Miss Bedell. After attending a convention at Rockland. October 17, we were better acquainted with the purpose and organization of this club. In coordination with the Key Club a record hop was held at S.H.S. in November. This was a successful dance. The inid-year induction was held in February, at which time George Baker and Michael Corrigan were received as new members. All who attended enjoyed the inspir- ing services and the special entertainment after- wards. Another induction was held the last of May to welcome the eligible juniors to this organization.
