Each year at Wfyandotte, any senior student who desires to, may sign up to take a series of scholarship tests given by Vice-Principal J. Clyde Hume. These examinations are not only for students seriously interested in achieving a scholarship to the college of their choice, but for any boy or girl who wants to determine howl he ranks in his class or who simply wants the practical experience of taking college tests. Many of the examinations are duplicates of old college! entrance tests and although they will not be the same as the ones taken upon entering a college, ,their similarity will undoubtedly prove to be very 'helpful when the time comes. I 'Ifhere were two final tests given. All previous examihations served simply as practice and as examples of the variety of tests given for actual scholarships. Students whose scores on these prabtice tests were below average were eliminated, and only those who made exceptional scores and who ranked high scholasticallymwere given the . -nag.

There were 55 students taking the preliminary examinations this year and, although of course all 55 could not take the final tests, each one of them is to be commended for his interest and participation in such an activity.

Having set membership in this scholarship group as his goal upon entering high school, he now can wear the emblem of the torch of knowledge. The Honor Society was created as a national organization in 19215 as a society here at Wyandotte ini 1925. The founders of this group had in mind the stimulation of scholarship, leadership, character .john Winters and service among high school students. Thus, these are the requirements for membership in the National Honor Society. The candidates are initiated into the organiza- tion by a traditional Sacred Flame Ceremony, held each spring in Wyandotte's auditorium. At this very impressive candlelighting service, each boy and girl accepts the challenge of the spirit of Achieve- ment by repeating this pledge: In all hamilizfy, I pledge myself to he honor- ahle, to serve, to lead arighl, 150 apholll ieholar- rhlp ami that to keep alive the Jacreal flame.
