N Homo ugvv ldv Q N he Li Iionor Students Character, scholarship, leadership, and service are characteristic of the juniors and seniors who are members of the National Honor Society. Each nominee for the society is judged on these four points before he is eligible for membership. The society members can be found early in September busily cutting paper shamrocks for the society,s annual activity -- Friendship Day. On this day students autograph each other's shamrocks, which have been purchased from N.H.S. members. In October the tide turns from green to red for the Red Feather Community Chest Drive. Both the high school and the grade school participate in this fund-raising campaign. During the year the society considers many projects to utilize the proceeds from Friendship Day. This year the members decided upon sending a Care package to war- torn Europe and contributing a large patron fee to the 1951 Shamrock, The members search for talent in the school during the fall and exhibit their findings in a talent show, the feature assembly of February. Finally all N.H.S. grads look proudly upon the Society's golden seal on their diplomas. A seal which recognizes and commends their scholarship, leadership, character, and service to mankind.
