Correspondence is carried on with Eugene Bocher. a French boy who was adopted by the club after the war. Packages of food and clothing are sent to Eugene and his family as frequently as possible. The aim of the French Club is to create a better under- standing of France and its people.

The faculty and the faculty council select candidates who are in the upper third of their class. Seven per cent of the Junior Class is elected to the society near the end of the school year. Eleven per cent of the remainder of the class is selected in March of the Senior Year. In pursuance of its policy of service to others, this society participates in many activities during the year. Members serve as ushers at the Open House. As a means of raising funds the society has sponsored illustrated lectures for students. Successful auctions have also been held. Memorial Day, the society decorates the war memorial on the Common. Contributions to CARE, March of Dimes, Junior Red Cross, and other worthwhile causes are some of the other activities. Membership in this society is considered one of the highest honors that this school can confer. A member of this society is a member of a national organization that is represented in about 3,000 other secondary schools in the United States. Thus, we should feel justly proud to have the National Honor Society in the Shrewsbury High.

The League was especially proud to receive the Leading Chapter Award from the National Organization. Besides its various other activities, the National Forensic League has undertaken the sponsoring of the Young Debaters Club and the Richard Fipphen Speaking Contest. The debating teams have taken an active part in various contests. The National Forensic League has also offered many oppor- tunities for public speakers to display their talent. Other activities included the presentation of a Talent Show on March thirtieth. and a sausage and pancake party, with Clinton debaters as guests. The National Forensic League has enrolled new members, and with the excellent leadership of Miss Dorothy M. Churchill, these new members will undoubtedly enjoy just as successful a year as have former members in the past years.
