To those who maintained a high average in their studies for a semester and who were con- sidered worthy, a pin in the form of the letter signifying honor, was given. Any student elected to the Honor Society for three semesters was presented with a gold pin. In 1930 the Honor Society was affiliated with the National Junior Honor Society, forming the Lincoln Chapter. Students elected to this Society Wear the golden torch, symbolizing leadership. Members are elected by a committee com- posed of Junior High faculty advisers. the vice-principals, and the principal of the High School. Qualifications considered in the selection of members are scholastic achieve- ments, study habits, qualities of character displayed in and around school, services rendered, and the ability to lead and guide others aright, Page Ninety-seven

The Senior I-lonor Society In every first class school there are clubs and societies of many kinds. If rightly guided and directed, these may be a Wonderful incentive to develop the powers of the individual members. Because scholarship should be recognized and emphasized the Phi Beta Kappa society was organized among our colleges in 1776. Many of our high schools, colleges, and preparatory schools organized similar schools or societies for individual institutions or for a comparatively small group of institutions. ln many instances the schools ofa certain type, as city high schools or pre- paratory institutions, have united and agreed upon the same standard of scholar- ship and similar methods of recognition for the entire group. Thus the honor society came into being, a natural outgrowth of the wisdom and experience of the l5 or 20 years. Waukesha I-ligh School is organized under the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. The purpose: Create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students. Fundamental virtues: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, Service. Eligibility: No more than 15 per cent of the IZA class shall be elected. Pupils must stand in the first fourth of their respective class in scholarship. No more than 5 per cent of the l IA class shall be elected to membership dur- ing the last month of the sixth semester. Each member pledges himself to uphold the high purposes of the society and strives to make its ideals, the ideals of his school. All of this seems highly desirable to secondary schools. Character of the highest and best sort is sponsored, and an impetus is given to scholarship. Page Ninety-six

The team won two games, lost four, and tied one. This record, when compared with those of other years, seems quite poor. However, there were many reasons why the team fared so poorly. XVhen Coach Saubert issued the call for football prospects, he was greeted by a group of about 150 boys. In this large squad there were only five who had had any playing experience. These were Captain Felix Bruni, Tom Disantis, Larry Knoebel, Jim Hannon, and Bill Smith. The squad as a whole lacked weight and this lack of experience and weight was too great a handicap to over- come in one season. Nevertheless. a fairly good first squad was developed and trained to carry the brunt of the attack during the season. This squad consisted of the following: Center, Lumb: guards, Owens, Barnes, Walsh: tackles, Bruni, Hannon, Smith: ends, Evans, Pronoldz halfbacksy Disamis, HERE ARE SOME OF THE EE1.Lows IN ACTION Merten.

After a months practice, the first game of the season was played against Lincoln High School of Milwaukee, a night game on Haertel Field.
