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. President Gary Duncan Vice-President David Keith Secretary Billie Cotterman Treasurer Patsy Feigert Mar Lou Cryer lights her torch in the flame of service. Marilyn McCachran adds her name to the role

The paper back book store, a new project, was begun for the purpose of earning money with which to purchase more books for the school library. All took interest in the paperback book store.

In early spring in most courses, preliminary scholarship tests are given which any A or B student may take. Those who place first, second, or third in a subject are then eligible to take the district scholarship test. Each person spends time in preparation by studying alone or with his team and in- structor. With preliminaries over, fifty-seven students left for Defiance on May 4th to take the district tests.
