They were Judy Kime and Archie Wilson. Members in the National Honor Society must be in the upper third of their class. They are chosen by the faculty on the basis of Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service.

This organization helps to promote more student in- terest in the problems of our school. It sponsored several activities during the year, such as the American Education Week, Red Cross, Care, and Polio Drives, redecorating the rest rooms, and decorating a Christmas tree. The last activity was an all-school party. Each class put on a skit, and two groups of girls sang.
