' Y' , ' zmvmW NATIUNALHUNUH SUCIETY The National Honor Society is the culminative goal of four years ot high school work. It is the public,recognition of all that is best in, high school stu- dents. The teachers select by vote those persons who, in their opinion, have the traits which are requisite for membership. This selection is based upon tour things. The scholar must rank in the upper one-third of the class scho- lastically. He must have shown a capacity for leadership, and a willingness and ability for service. Finally, and perhaps the most important of all, he must be above reproach in character. ,- The Independence chapter, which is number 226, oi the National Honor Society was organized in l924. It has been a continuous organization since that time. Miss Mabel Potter has served as sponsor since the time oi its inception at William Chrisman. She hasrgperformed this service faithfully and well. . lt is customary to select a small group of the most outstanding students at the end of the junior year, to carry on until the other members are elected during the senior year. Those chosen while yet juniors were Marjorie Burgess, Lois Williams, Eleanor Landtried, Ottis Ground, Bill Stewart, Arthur Hacker, Dean McEnroe, james Townsend, and Bill Monsees. This group ot students was honored at a luncheon given by the Kiwanis. ' - The last week oi,March, the seniors were told oi their election into the society so that they could attend a dance given in their honor. 1 v . TOP ROVV: Bonner, M.
