We Lay Our Foundation In order to have a well balanced foundation, we must mature socially as well as mentally. Van Wert High School offers many organizations for its stu- dents. We may join a club for entertainment, or for vocational and recreational pursuits. We may be selected to belong to an organization for athletic and scholastic achievements, for abilities in speech, or for leadership. We associate with many people in each different organization. We accept adult roles in leadership and the undertaking of responsibilities. In many ways we grow by our participation . . . in Organizations 27

Character, service, leadership, and scholar- ship . . . these are the qualifications for nomina- tion to the National Honor Society. Each year five percent of the junioe class and fifteen percent of the senior class are chosen by the faculty on this basis. On April eighteenth, twenty-one new mem- bers were inducted into the society by the seven senior members. The emblems of the society are the flaming torch, a symbol of knowledge, and the keystone, a symbol of stability. Noblesse Oblige, the motto, means that nobility has obligations. Thus election to the National Honor Society is a distinction be- stowed upon its members not only as an acknowl- edgement of honorable effort in the past, but also as a reminder of the responsibilities which they must assume in the future.
