The reward for outstanding achieve- ment in the field of scholastic endeavor is membership in the National Honor Society. In joining the ranks of this soci- ety, a student loudly proclaims his de- gree of academic excellence and his qualities of leadership and character. To maintain the status of an honor student it is necessary to have an average of 90 and a “commendable” in conduct. The Business Honor Society takes for its members those students who have at- tained a high degree of proficiency in secretarial training. To retain a position in the society an average of 85 is re- quired. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Marjorie A. Cromie James J. Fritz Dolores A. Griffin ■ Patricia A. Hartle Rose Ann M. Hartman Margaret J.

Student Council President James Fritz is inspired by the ideals of the late President John F. Kennedy. Student Council As with every form of society, it is necessary to have a governing body to fulfill its needs. Since government should be of, by, and for the people, the Student Council attempts to establish a media through which both fac- tions of the school may co-ordinate their efforts for the common good. By being an official representative of the student body, the Council serves to make its suggestions known to the administration and through them to the faculty. Elected by popular vote, these officials are pro- vided with practical training in the field of government by their projection into situations calling for leadership, courage, and ability. In addition to providing the bases for new legislation, the Student Council initiates school- service projects which benefit the whole of the school. Most important, however, this body politic builds better citizens and leaders necessary in our complex world. Sister Mary Dominic reviews past Student Council activities with John Toris, Transpor- tation Representative.

Diligence Denotes Dedication Sceptre —SCEPTRE Joint Chiefs of Staff certainly seem busy in conference. The task of the 1965 SCEPTRE was to immortalize the many exciting and pleasurable moments of the school year. This was portrayed by means of pictures and copy, but behind each photo and each word was a mountain of memories that we will cherish for many years. Idea af- ter idea was discussed, written, weighed and polished before it proved fit materi- al to occupy the SCEPTRE'S then emp- ty pages. To assemble a yearbook is a herculean job not lacking frustrating days which result in exhaustion and frayed nerves: ours was no exception. However, under the guidance of our diligent moderator, the staff never faltered for long. In early January editors were elected on the basis of dependability, contribu- tion and co-operation. Aided by the de- voted staff they were able to succesfully mold a yearbook of which we may all be justly proud. Smile, Mr. Gorny, you're on Can- did Camera! Sister Mary Gabriel goes over layouts with yearbook editors James Doyle, Arlene Kielian and Catherine Dempsey. Marie Me Fadden, Business Editor, stands and urges SCEPTRE typists to meet our deadline. Our yearbook a tragedy? — NEVER.
