CUM LAUDE SOCIETY Left lo right: Phil Smith, Tommy Whitsitt, Fred Rudder, joe Murphey, Potter Cantrell, Buford Anderson. Founded at the Tome School in l906, the Cum Laude Society is a nationally recognized honorary scholarship society for secondary schools. To hold membership in this society, which has chapters in most of the leading secondary schools, a school must be operating as a non-profit organization. This fact held Webb back for a number of years. lfVebb founded a chapter in 1953. The member- ship of the chapter, composed of students in the Page 46 top fifth of their class, is considered conclusive evidence of high scholastic achievement. Fred Rudder, Potter Cantrell, Buford Anderson, and Tommy lVhitsitt were elected in the close of their junior year, at the commencement ceremony, as one-tenth of our quota. Phil Smith and Joe Murphy were notihed in their Senior year at mid-term, February 12th.

THE HONOR COMMITTEE iff! Io right, .v1'ateri: l'otter Cantrell, Buford Anderson. I'irr'-l'rr'.vi11m.l: Stanley Taylor, President, Fred Rudder, .Swr'r'f'lr1ry.' lirnest lidenton.

A major function of YVebb, which was created, developed, and is operated entirely by the student body, is its Honor Committee. lt was suggested by a group of students shortly after the school's foundation in l870 as a medium between the fac- ulty and the student body, and to this date has served its creator's purposes ably and justly. The Honor Committee is composed of carefully elected members of each class-four seniors, including the Senior Prefect automatically, three jttniors, two sophomores, one fresluuan appointed by the prin- cipal, and one observer frotn the lower school, also appointed. These important members of the stu- dent body are honored and respected by the en- tire school. This group symbolizes a major aim of Webb School, that is the preparation of the student for adult life through the creation of an adult at- mosphere at l'Vebb. lt is the committee's duty to pass judgments upon fellow students and friends, and, as can be imagined, their task is not in the least an easy one. The Honor Committee has been directly respon- sible for installing a high degree of integrity in all VVebb studentsg hence, it is responsible for the continuance of the reputation for honesty which XVebb graduates inevitably possess.
