National Honor Society Jacob Boesel Cleo Metzger. Kathleen Smith. Norman Fogt. Evelyn Lusk. Orva Cannon. Helen Heil. Virginia Veit. Robert Gesler. Carroll Kuhns. Betty Varner. Emily Garretson. During the autumn of 1933 Mr. Swearingen gained as bounty for Blume High School a charter in the National Honor Society, it is entirely through his efforts that we have become members of his very worth-while organization. The object of this chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the tribe of the Redskins. Fifteen percent of the outgoing braves and squaws each year are elegible to become members of this lodge. It is our desire to have the names of the last year's squad in the 1935 Retrospect. They are as follows: Frederick Jacobs, Harley Nelson, Cornelius Loew, Martha Swearingen, John Moser, Leonard Koch, Eleanor Jane Abe, Eugene Boogher, William Wenning, Roland Morris, Marcella Bimstein, and Marjean Headapohl. To this list of names the following are added this year: Betty Varner, Emily Garretson, Norman Fogt, Evelyn Lusk, Helen Heil, Jacobs Boesel, Robert Gesler, Virginia Veit, Carroll Kuhns, Kathleen Smith, Cleo Metzger, Orva Cannon. Lloyd Stiles and Dorothy Schuler are prospectives and it is possible that in the final tally several of the last places will be changed. ------o------ TLE.
