The National Honor Society recognizes these quali- ties in high school students, and in so doing, aims to stimulate all students to attain these goals. The girls who have distinguished themselves because of their outstanding leadership, intellectual achievement, loyalty to high ideals, and unselfishness of character are elected to this organization by the members of the Ursuline Faculty.
