National Honor Society A waiting silence settled over the all-school assembly as the list of in- ductees was read by John Evans, pres- ident of the Walter Johnson chapter of the National Honor Society. As each name was called, an usher moved to escort the surprised student to the stage while proud parents beamed in the background. In a solemn candle- lighting ceremony, the president ad- ministered the pledge to the inductees, and they officially became members of the National Honor Society. The students in the society repre- sent the cream of the crop in every phase of school life. Chosen by the faculty, each student must excel in the areas of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Scholastically, a B average or better is required. Sen- iors meeting these conditions are eligi- ble for induction in either October or March, while juniors may become members only in the spring month. The Honor Society, sponsored by Miss Margaret Kauffman, meets in the morning whenever there is busi- ness to discuss. At the beginning of the year, they decided to take upon themselves the responsibility of super- vising the early-morning study halls. Another of their duties was to help set up the bulletin board outside the counselors' offices. The society elected as its l958- l959 officers John Evans, president, Davis Dassori, vice-president, Penny Zweigenhaft, secretary, and David Cargo, treasurer.

The Council, headed by Jud Pearson, Student Coun- cil president, is composed of the homeroom representatives and mem- bers of the Executive Council. As the main connection between the faculty and the student body it is one of the most important organi- zations in the school. All games, dances, SCA or club projects-in fact, any school regulation made - must be passed upon by the Council. The Representative Council gives each stu- dent a chance to express his ideas to improve Walter Johnson and is run by the students, though its affairs are subject to the approval of the admin- istration. Its faculty adviser is Miss Elizabeth Brown. The officers are the Executive Council. An important part of the Student Council is the Co-ordinating Council. Consisting of delegates from each club, publication, and service organi- zation, plus the sergeant-at-arms and parliamentarian of the Student Coun- cil, its purpose is to regulate the activ- ities of the organization in school. Heading this vital part of Walter Johnson's student government is the Student Council vice-president, Bob Van Nice. n....qnlrvl '03 cu Q5 UU 'O C af-:P couwcu.

This organi- zation honors aspiring journalists who have proved that they deserve special merit through high scholarship, jour- nalistic achievement, and service. Under the supervision ot Mrs. Eve- lyn D. Wittman, sponsor, and Miss Margaret Kauttman, sponsor of the Spectator, the Walter Johnson chapter ot the Society selects members ot the junior and senior classes who have done outstanding work in writing, edit- ing, business management, or produc- tion on school publications. ln order to be considered tor membership, can- didates must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic stand- ing, either tor the year of their elec- tion or for the cumulative total of all of their high school work. They must then be recommended by the publica- tions sponsor with whom they work. There are no annual dues collected, however, upon application for mem- bership, the candidate is required to pay a basic membership fee which provides him with a one-year subscrip- tion to Quill and Scroll magazine and an official gold pin designating the type of work he has been doing. To the membership rolls of Quill and Scroll, seventeen students were elected, two additional hold-over mem- bers selected as juniors in 1958 have made up the current total of nineteen. Membership is highly prized by those students with journalistic ambitions.
