llonor Society The greatest honor that can be bestowed on a high school student is to be tapped for Honor Society. Honor Society encourages students to study and to do their best at all times.

A fare- well breakfast honoring the eleven seniors was held on April 27. Honor Society had several projects during the year. Christmas cards were sent to all the faculty and to graduate members of Honor Society.

After we received our charter, we installed the members: then elected officers. Those elected were Dave Larsen, president: Susan Christianson, vice president: Jo Ann Walker, secretary-treasurer: Barbara Dorn, historian. A panel of four members from Central Wash- ington College of Education encouraged us to form a Future Teachers of America chapter. The major activities of this club included going to different grade schools to observe the teachers and their methods. The students also did some teaching at these schools. Several programs for the faculty and for the stu- dents were given throughout the year, under the supervision of Mr. Beach, the adviser.
