NOT PICTUHEDZ loyco Plowman, Dorothy Tullman, Lowell Hickman N honor society meeting is news. Since we so seldom hold a meeting, we al- ways know there is something big doing when one is called. And it was something big in November fplanning our part in an all-school parade with the band, banners, and all the trimmings. We were to march proudly down Main Street under our ban- ner National Honor Society . At a later meeting we elected officers. Lowell Don was unanimously chosen president. And why not? He was our only male! lune became vice-president: loyce, secretary: and Vinita, treasurer. The next big event of our society was the initiation fthe customary one in front of the assembly. We had a short, yet impressive program, and the mar- shall, lune Bland, summoned the candidates who were quite excited at being chosen. Vtfe were all very happy when Hope, lames, Marshall, lohn, Mickey, Don, and Esther Lou were honored. Of course, the newlyvchosen members said they were scared to death and never thought that they'd make it, es- pecially Esther Lou, when Iune read the scroll too hurriedly and almost forgot her. When the new members took the oath of allegiance to the National Honor Society, not only smiles, but even tears were seen on their faces. Membership in this organization is based on leadership, scholarship, character, and service. Since only ten per cent of any one class are eligible to be chosen, membership in this society is a goal worth striving for. 'SFF Lowell Don, Marg' Louise, cmd Iune This initiation will be long remembered. Page 21

These were President Hickman's tamiliar words as another sixth hour rolled around and the council meeting began. Sometimes it wasn't so orderly as this, especially when Slick or some other member came trailing in troni lunch late, but we were generally under control and ready tor business in a short time. Our business Was usually some- Iohnny. Vinitu. and Lowell Don We disagree. Pa jc 20 thing pertaining to annual school activities such as plans for Homecoming or student council elections, but many times we had original ideas, too, such as a iuke box for the gym. We didn't follow the beaten path this year in many things. At the suggestion of Wayne and Harry we decided to inalce Homecoming different and elected a king and queen instead ot the traditional queen. When time rolled around tor the Student Council election, we also decided to hold a primary. This Worked out very well, espee cially as it was a very honest election due to the use ot stenciled ballots. CNet that any ot our elections are ever dishonestl. By the way, our acting oiticers are: Lowell Don, president: Marshall, vice-president: and Slick, secretary-treasurer. We played our part in the war eitort by staging two bond drives and a paper drive. Our stage in the study hall was piled high with paper and card board, and it was rumored that Mr. Battershell had made the supreme sacritice ot giving up his collection ot Esquire.
