G. means something besides soap. Throughout the year you looked to the Purple and Gold to keep you informed about school events and activities. The sports and features were eagerly read by all and, of course, no one missed the last page, the gossip section. This year's P. 51 G. had a very capable and energetic staif headed by Nancy Hartman as editor and Pat Milroy as assistant editor. Miss Woolverton had charge of editing and Miss Mc- Urath supervised production. At Christmas time the staii was rewarded for its good work by being given a tree treat at Conder's. In March, the staff presented an assembly program in the form of a musical quiz. Each staff member wrote out questions which had popular tunes as their answers. Cookie Mor- rison's orchestra was on hand to give the contestants a clue by playing part of the songs. The winner. Ianet Miller, received a free subscription to the P. 6 G. for the rest of the year.

Iohn Davis was elected president to lead the council in its many services throughout the year. Other officers elected were Bob Hilliard, vice-president and Charles Holland. secretary-treasurer. Under the patient guidance of their sponsor, Mr. Macl-Xllister, who acted as the representative of the faculty, the council met weekly to discuss the current school problems.

Twenty years aqo the Vinton chapter ol the National Honor Societv was organized. Students wearing the National Honor Society pin are recognized all over the United States. In many cases it is as good as a letter ot recommendation. Each year the faculty choose members of the junior and senior classes to receive this distinction. In order to quality lor membership, students must iuliill the four ideals of the organization-scholarship, leadership. character, and service. Being elected to the National Honor Society is the crowning achievement oi the high school careers of those students who can meet the requirements. Iuniors elected to the society last year were Charles Holland. Nancy Hartman. Don Brickley, and lack McDowell. This year these members installed iuniors and seniors. The Vinton chapter is called Sigma Lambda Gamma. This name was adopted in 1941. Page Ten
