Honor Society It is fitting that S.H.S. should recognize its leaders in achievement, character, service, and student activities. The National Honor Society Sigma Chapter is open to students who maintain a B average during the first three years of high school and also show a controlled mature nature in leadership, character and service throughout. Selection is made on the basis of record and the recommendations of the faculty, and the stu¬ dents deemed so worthy are publicly inducted at a special candlelight service. 1957 inductees listen carefully as the qualities of Honor Society membership are emphasized. (Falkowski, Kamm, Lloyd, Mandirola, Root) Kennett, Magnuson, Lill, Mrs. Morse, Russell, Cebula, Jacobus, Moffett, Poglitsch, Maiola, Harrington, Ritter, Kraiza, Wilcox and Parsons discuss problems of Junior Student Council. Student Counci The Student Council is designed as the link between the students and the administration. It is organized to include class presidents, club leaders and home room elected representatives. The group is free to criticize, suggest, plan and act in the solution of problems confronting the school and pupils. Its strength depends on the representatives elected by the students and therefore is only as effective as they are respon¬ sible.

Latin Club Tribute to a retiring leader at the annual Roman banquet. (Orr, Hin¬ son, Oppe, Lincoln, Mr. McAlister) The Latin Club is one of the largest organizations in the High School. Its purpose is to promote the study of Latin and maintain an interest in ancient Greek and Roman history. The size of this club is directly related to its popularity and its program, which culminates in the annual Roman banquet.
