It is the recognition by the teachers of those Who, in their estima- tion, have the traits which are requisite for membership in the society. This selection of members is based upon tour points. The student must rank in the upper one-third of his class scholastically. I-Ie must have shown himself to have the qualities of a good leader, and he must have served his school Whenever possible. Last, but not least, he must have a fine character which is in every way above reproach. Miss Mabel Potter organized the Inde- pendence chapter, which is number 226, of the National Honor Society in l924. She has performed the service of sponsor Well and faithfully every since its organization. Each year it has been the custom for the teachers to select a small group of the most outstanding students at the end of their junior year to carry on the functions of the society until the other members are elected during their senior year. Those chosen While yet juniors Were: Buford Brauninger, Bernard Butterworth, Harold Chandler, Dorsy Lou Compton, Iack ,De- Iange, Bob Fenn, Dorothy' Mills, Rachel Peck, Marc Pickrell, lack Ramsey, Norma Trout, Betty Lee Walker, Ella Marie Wielig- man, and Ioanne Wilson. In March the thirty-one new members, making a total of ten per cent of the entire class, were told of their election into the society.

Office of Principal Hanthorn if JUDICIAL A STREAMLINED DEMOCRACY It is a joy to comply with the request of our literary editor--that I write a word concerning the theme of our Gleam. A Streamlined Democracy. What is meant by a Streamlined Democracy? I judge there is some an- alogy between democracy and the streamlined auto. So I inquired of an auto dealer what characterized a stream- liner. He said, speed, bright colors, low center of gravity, good brakes, and abundant power. Does a good democraacy have these same essentials? It certainly does. A democracy must move swiftly: as ours is doing today. Its colors are bright, God's choicest hues, red, white, and blue. Democracy must have stable equilibrium, good brakes, and abundant power. But, where does a democracy get these desirable features? Our constitution answers this question in its first three words, We the people. We must ask ourselves then if we have characteristics we cherish in our democracy. Do we have courage for which the red stripes stand? Are we true blue? Are we standing for purity and honor? Do we have stability that is so desirable in streamlined cars? Have we efficient self control that will en- able us to turn the dangerous corners on life's highway? Will we carry our part of the heavy load? If so, we have a stream- lined democracy. The character of our democracy depends upon us. Let 15,000,000 boys and girls of our high schools have industry, brightness of spirit, self control, and strength. Then our democracy will be a streamliner, of the nigfhest type. All the world will want a democracy. Then soon will be unfurled The glorious banner of us all. The flag that rises ne'er to fall Republic of the world. - Victor I-Iugo. I. N. HATHORN. -N:-f- A x....w.2 Principal I. N. Hanthorn I3 G3- .-.,. . ,. , .. ' ..

National Art Honor Society THE WILLIAM CHRISMAN CHAPTER of the National Art Honor Society was organized April 15, 1937. Membership in this society is the goal of every art student. In 1932 Miss Flora Wright, art instructor in the Southwest High School in Kansas City, Mis- souri, founded an'honor society for her pupils. lt proved so inspirational that it was made a na- tional organization, and the mother chapter was given the honor of issuing the charters. William Chrisman received charter number one. The objective of the Art Honor Society is three-fold: to promote deeper appreciation of art, greater knowledge of art, and greater skill in pro- ducing art. The requirements are an S aver- age in art: an M average in all other subjects: loyalty, honor, and a commendable attitude. Each student meeting these requirements and desiring membership submits to a Board of judges an ex- hibit of at least ten pieces of work, these to include three media, or more. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible. April 9 forty-five art students exhibited, from whom the jury selected twenty-seven as eligible for membership. Honors were awarded to three former members who exhibited again this year: Rachel Peck, Sylvia Dobson, and Mary Maness. The induction ceremony was presented April 17, sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association, and assisted by the Department of Music of Wil- liam Chrisman. The officers of the society are: Lawrence Clark, president: Eugene Parker, vice-president: Nadine Clum, secretary: Peggy Bryan treasurer. The Mary Sturges Memorial Art Medal was won by Rachel Peck. Second place was awarded to Sylvia Dobson: third place to Betty Ann Lewis, and Mary Maness received Honorable Mention. Lv 'ff' f 411:4- if HUNURED CITIZENS TOP ROW: Clark, Clum, Cobb, Danforth.
