Probably the greatest honor that is given at Howe is mem- bership in the school's chapter of National Honor Society. Only the upper ten per cent of the juniors and fifteen per cent of the Senior Class can be eligible for candidacy. lnitiotes are iudged on the qualities which are the ideals of the society: character, leadership, scholarship and service. Miss Maryon Welch is sponsor of NHS. Officers are John Hicks, president, Ken Wolff, vice-president and Jennie Bradley, who is the society's secretary. They had in charge the society's organization, and helped induct new members at the Decem- ber lnstallation. At Installation, Principal Thomas Stirling gave the main address, and four seniors read the scrolls describing the society's ideals. They were Carolyn Keetay, Sheryl Pickett, Ward Poulos and Ken Wolff. On the sweaters, shirts, iackets or blouses of society mem- bers, the keystone-shaped pin may be seen. The pin pictures a torch, the symbol of knowledge, and to recognize knowl- edge is the purpose of the society. Ken Wolff, Jennifer Bradley, and John Hicks, ofticers of the National Honor Society, stand as Miss Welch announces new incoming members at annual Honor Society tap Assembly. was iw-560'vN I-lomofvQoc1e65 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY-TOP PlCTURE, KBACK ROWJ Cronau, M.
