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. Juniors solemnly observe president Mary jean Wozniak as she lights the four candles representing the ideals of the National Honor Society in the initiation ceremony. Row 1 -P. Mills, R. Quinn, M.

...And We Find Gui' Place in lt 'Q' KEY TO SUCCESS TWU' XM I5 Om OPPORTUNITIES Studying vocations is the special project of fresh- man civics classes. The first step, a survey of the occupational field, is followed by a study of the student himself and his desired career. The last step is a comparison of the student's abilities with the requirements for his preferred occupation. Sister Joseph explains working conditions and procedure in obtaining a job, as Bill McFadden points out the many existing careers and the ones available to youth. This is one of many charts to help students in vocational studies. Pat Ges- sler and Charles Smith are ready to help Bill with the questions of the class.
