To exalt these objectives and to hold them ever before the school as goals towards which all should strive, is the purpose of the Society. It induces the students to aspire to scholarly habits, enlisting in worthy service and leading forward in all things that advance the welfare of the school. As the keystone is placed bv the builder to hold the perfect arch in perpetual stability, so the structure of our education must be held firm and true to the purposes of life by the virtues represented in the society’s symbol. Scholarship is the power of the mind to dispel ignorance ami superstition through scientific investigation ol truth; Leadership is the power of personality that blazes the trail for man’s upward climb; Character, the composite of all the common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor, while Service is the beginning and end of our education, the altar ol altruism from which God’s blessings to man have been vouchsafed. Pupils eligible to election in the National Honor Society must stand in the first fourth of their respective classes in scholarship. Of this one-fourth, fifteen per cent of the graduating class may lie chosen. In picking out this first one-fourth, grades for the first and second years are counted along with grades of later years. The list of pupils arranged alphabetically is then submitted to a committee of teachers for their consideration. The members picked for the National Honor Society must belong to that fifteen per cent of the class which is most representative, not only in Scholarship, but in Character, Leadership, and Service. Se ven persons were chosen to represent the Class of 1931 in the National Honor Society. The newly-elected members are Ida Amicangioli, Mary Brown, Savino Cavender, Sylvia Kujala, Alvin Kumpula, Sylvia Lien, and Mildred Plichta.

Three years ago, in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty eight, we entered this Institution of Higher Education. A record-breaking class we were one hundred and nineteen strong. At the beginning we may have been a little unripe for whispers of green ' clung around us. But the rough edges soon wore off and we became active members of this school. We were the guests ol the Sophomores at the annual warming-up party, and later in the year were their hosts in return. We also gave a free social-hour that year. We supported the teams in all sports. With only a slight decrease in the numbers of our ranks, we returned the following fall as seasoned Sophomores. We helped to polish the rustic Freshman by entertaining them at the ice breaking party. Our field of activities broadened. Sports, dramatics, music, and other clubs claimed members from our class. Others strove for high honors in scholastics. Another year passed into history. We returned in the fall once more to these familiar surroundings. We selected Miss Olson and Miss Adams as our class advisers. We determined to make our mark in the sands of time. Out interests, this eventful year, were enormous. Our boys won a regular place on the school teams in football, basket ball, swimming and track. Our class won the Class Basket Ball Championship. We had active members in the band, orchestra, Ili-Y, and Mask and Bauble club. I he Echo and Tattler staffs were swelled by our classmen. We have been well represented on the Honor Roll. And the Junior Prom was the big social event of the whole school year. Now, as the last days of our Junior year flv all too swiftly by, our thoughts turn to our final year within the walls of our school. We are resolved to make the most of all opportunities and to make next year's Senior class one of which the Wakefield High School can be proud. 23 to % r.%.
