' ' ' For the members of Southsidels fourteen honor and service clubs this d mark was not arrived at easily. School and community service, hours of ath- letics in season and off, after school time spent in room 111 to meet pressing deadlines, promotion of new activities to arouse school spirit, superior aca- demic records, play rehearsals and performances and much more made these fourteen organizations and their members unique. Membership in any club means meeting certain requirements, but being inducted into an honor or service club is even tougher. Members of these clubs are voted in on either merit or school involvement by either the faculty or student body. Honor clubs have a special place at Southside. Outstanding achievement in academics, athletics, journalism, and drama are recognized through the National Honor Society, Lettermen, Quill and Scroll, and Thespians. The Southside branch of the National Honor Society has continually grown into the largest or- ganization in the school. t'We've begun meeting in the auditorium because itls the only place big enoughfi laughed vice-president Marianne Sawyer. Fifty-nine new members were inducted into the society at the end of first semester. Requirements for membership are a grade point average of 3.75 for sophomores and 3.50 for juniors and seniors, as well as faculty approval. The traditional candlelight initiation ceremony Was held on February 21. Highlights included Honor Society students got- into the festivities ofHomecoming Weel signing up'l for the annual parade down Gary Avenue held by the .S dent Council on November 12. 46
