The National Honor Society recognizes efforts of the more capable The National Honor Society is the one organization which gives recognition to students who excel in scholarship. In addition to high scholastic standing, candidates must possess the qualities of good character, leadership, and service. Elec- tion to this society is one of the highest honors a student can receive. It is a goal toward which every student should strive. The society's charter allows only fifteen per cent of any senior class to be elected to membership. This restriction makes it a difficult task to select the most deserving students. In Vincent the voting for prospective members is done en- tirely by the faculty, on a point system. This procedure gives greater recognition to those students who possess the qualities desirable for membership. Scholarship, character, leadership, and service are considered as the essential elements of success in later life. If we all strive to perfect these qualities, we help to assure our own success, and to create a better world in which to live. This threesome a common sight . . .
