Sterling Morton chools Cicero, Illinois Jefferson High HANDBOOK OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Department of Secondary-School Principals of the National Education Association FOREWORD This Handbook of the National Honor Society is an out- growth, or a revised edition, of a similar publication issued in 1924. Since that time, many questions have arisen because the constitu- tion does not prescribe any particular ritual or any specific method of electing officers and carrying out the various details of the local organization. This seeming laxity was thoroughly considered by those who organized the National Honor Society and who wrote its constitution. It was thought that each chapter would take pride in managing these details in its own way to suit local conditions, and that probably most of the chapters would change their routine details from year to year. Since there have been many inquiries concerning the history of honor societies in secondary schools and of the National Honor Society in particular, portions of a paper published in The School Review in June, 1922, will be included in the present Handbook. Portions of our first Handbook are also included. Much of the material used in the section under the heading of Methods of Select- ing Members was taken from the by-laws of individual chapters, from descriptions given me by a few high-school principals who have chapters in their schools, and from answers to the January (1929) questionnaire. The National Council would be glad to incorporate in the next Handbook: (1) Additional information about the history of honor societies; (2) The methods of evaluating qualities of leadership, service, and character, and how to use these in selecting members ; (3) The activities of the members of the chapter in the school; (4) The value of the Honor Society to its school and its com- munity; and (5) Suggestions for making the National Honor Society more useful to the local chapters so that they may render more service to the youth who will follow the leadership of the highest ideals.

The high-school age is the period of life when organizations make a strong appeal. Clubs or societies have been formed for nearly every activity, real or imaginary, in the high school. The badges and other insignia are often objects of envy to outsiders. The athletes have been called up before the school, given their letters, and crowned in the presence of the rooters. Their names often appear in large head- lines in the town or city papers, and they are sent to the colleges by loyal alumni. The members of the debating teams appear before the public. Those active in literary societies come before the school on many occasions. Pupils interested in music represent the school in chorus or orchestra. The school plays offer opportunities for those with histrionic ability to appear before the public and to receive the applause of the school and glowing accounts in the newspapers. “These various activities hold the center of the stage in school life. Pure scholarship, unfortunately, is not often on the list. For some time educators have felt the need of some definite recogni- tion of, and incentive to, real scholarship in our secondary schools. These schools, public and private, all over the country have at- tempted to recognize students of high standing by such methods as posting their names in the main corridor, granting special privileges or credits, excusing them earlier from school, giving badges, hanging a pennant or banner on the door of the room whose pupils have achieved the high standard, sending letter of congratulations to the parents, or giving special mention at commencement. These are the methods of individual schools. In many instances the schools of a certain type (preparatory), or district (city high schools) have united and agreed upon the same standard of scholar- ship and similar methods of recognition for the entire group of schools. Thus the honor society had its birth. National Association of Secondary-School Principals “So far as I can determine, the first scholarship honor society (Phi Beta Sigma) was founded in 1900 by Dr. William B. Owen, late of the Chicago Normal College, when he was principal of the old South Side Academy, Chicago. “This new society filled a long-felt need and was intended to do for this school what Phi Beta Kappa was doing for the colleges. The idea spread rapidly, and honor societies sprang up all over the country. The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 at the Tome School, Fort Deposit, Maryland, by Dr. A. W. Harris. At first it was called the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, but the name was changed to avoid confusion with the Greek letter fraternities of an entirely different character. The Oasis Society was also or- ganized in 1906 in the Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School of Brooklyn. Next came the Arista Society which was or- ganized in January, 1910, by the late Dr. W. B. Gunnison, of the Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn. In the same year the stu- dents of the Manual Arts High School of Los Angeles, California, suggested some recognition for those who were not members of the dramatic, athletic, or musical organizations of the school. The Mimerian Society was the result. The movement spread to other schools in the state, and, according to Principal Burchman, of the Long Beach Polytechnic High School, the California Scholarship Federation of thirty-five high schools has recently been organized. In 1916 the Pro Merito Society was established by thirty or more head masters of western Massachusetts, and at present about sev- enty-five high schools have established chapters. In 1917, at the suggestion of Dr. Shiels, superintendent of schools, Los Angeles, California, the high-school principals of Los Angeles petitioned the Board of Education to organize the Ephoebian Society, the mem- bership to be composed of graduates from the different high schools who were among the first 10 per cent on the basis of scholarship in their schools. “Doubtless many similar societies have been organized, but these suffice to show that the need of recognition of scholarship was felt from Massachusetts to California. “Naturally societies in so widely separated localities would be formed to meet the local needs; their differences are largely in details of management. It may be well to note some of the differ- ences: HELP gota QO @® -- = «= aw ult ma zee ger dis hig ty ‘n, he tr Handbook of the National Honor Society 7 “The Arista Society of New York City stresses with equal em- phasis character, scholarship, and ability to serve, as determined by the student’s record in the first and second years of high school. “The Cum Laude Society is found mainly in private schools, al- though during the past year it has established chapters in some of the most prominent high schools. This society stands essentially for scholarship. “The Pro Merito Society is found only in Class A secondary schools of Massachusetts. As in the Cum Laude Society, scholar- ship is the principal requisite for membership. “The Oasis Society is practically a senior society, as only five members of the junior class are eligible, and these are not selected until near the end of the school year. The members are chosen by the point system, that is, so many points are given for service as editor, team captain, or manager, or for public declamation or oration. “The Mimerian Society is a scholarship organization. To be eligible a pupil must in one semester have four A’s in subjects yielding four credits. “The Long Beach Scholarship Society attempts to reward effort on the part of the average pupil. Membership is determined by the number of points made in certain outside activities in addition to those made in scholarship.

It is wise to enlist the services of the coming leaders 8 National Association of Secondary-School Principals in an organization that will repay the community in better citizen- ship and cleaner living for the opportunities that have been given them in the schools. “As one reads the list of objectives of the various societies one finds that with some slight differences in government, etc., these societies have as underlying principles character, scholarship, lead- ership, and service. Only two of the societies, the Cum Laude and the Pro Merito, have scholarship only as the basis for membership. “Do these various societies meet the need? The founders or officers of these societies who have watched the development from the beginning are the ones most competent to answer the question. Dr. Owen says: ‘I have not been disappointed in the value of the work of the society. I did not expect that such emphasis as this association could bring would offset the natural enthusiasm for those who excel in athletics, or the ambition of the normal boy to win distinction in athletics. I feel, however, that formal public recognition by the school of those who are distinguished in other school work would call attention in the right way to the importance of scholarship. This result happens wherever the society exists. I believe the stu- dents and the faculty approve of such a society.’ “William E. Golden, founder of the Oasis Society, says: ‘All of the boys of the school are eager for the honor of elec- tion and work for it. Athletes discover that they can speak, and “grinds” that they also are athletes. All of this seems to us to be highly desirable.’ “Principal J. D. Dillingham, Newtown High School, president of the Arista Principals’ Council says: ‘From my experience with student organizations I feel justified in saying that this is the best kind of high-school honor society that I have been able to find. In the Newtown High School we fee) that we are devoting a great deal of time and thought to the em- phasis of scholarship, and one of our most effective agencies in this kind of scholarship has been the Arista. Our local colleges are taking Arista membership and service into account in the award of scholarships and other honors.’ “It is to be noted that honor societies sprang up in many widely different sections independently and almost simultaneously. the all onl oth tio fixe fur e e i- d or mn el in 1e ld j- C- id nt Rp SoA ye Handbook of the National Honor Society 9 If the society with many chapters commends itself to the schools of a certain district because each is helped by the other, a nation- wide society ought to be a stronger organization and receive the support of all of the schools that believe in such a society. Will not one common badge for the entire country be more valuable than many different local badges? In other words, if the funda- mental principle of the honor society is sound, it should be national in its application ; a national honor society of secondary schools is a logical outgrowth of the wisdom and experience of the past fifteen or twenty years. “When the principals from all sections of the country come together at the annual meeting of the Department of Secondary- School Principals they form a clearing house for the many new plans that are in operation in their respective sections. Naturally the honor societies are given some consideration. “After a brief discussion at the Chicago meeting of the National Association of Secondary-School Principals in 1919, J. G. Masters, of Omaha, was appointed chairman of the committee on a national honor society. A report accompanied by an outline of a constitu- tion was made the following year in Cleveland. The Association favored the formation of a national honor society and authorized the president to appoint a committee on constitution and organi- zation that should report in 1921. The committee consisted of J. G. Masters, chairman, Omaha, Nebraska; Merle Prunty, Tulsa, Oklahoma; C. P. Briggs, Lakewood, Ohio; George Buck, Indianap- olis, Indiana; H. V. Church, Cicero, Illinois; and Edward Rynear- son, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Messrs. Masters and Buck were unable to be present at the Atlantic City meeting (1921), and E. J. Eaton, Youngstown, Ohio, and M. R. McDaniel, Oak Park, IIli- nois, were added to the committee which made a report that was adopted by the Association. “In drawing up the constitution the committee was faced with the necessity of providing an organization broad enough to meet all of the varying needs of these numerous societies. Scholarship only seemed too narrow; where tried, the society had, in the words of Dr. Powell, ‘got the stigma of being high-browish.’ On the other hand, there was great danger of according too little recogni- tion to scholarship. After considerable discussion, the committee fixed upon character, leadership, scholarship, and service as the fundamental virtues most useful to society and therefore most 10 National Association of Secondary-School Principals worthy of encouragement. The constitution lays down general rules regarding officers, eligibility, etc., but, in the main, leaves the details of government to each chapter. The standards of the schools in which chapters may be established must be equal to those schools accredited by such agencies as the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Authority is vested in a national council of nine members. The first council was appointed by Merle Prunty, president of the National Association of Secondary-School Principals.”* As stated in the Constitution, the local organizations consist “of chapters in the secondary schools of United States, supported by public taxation or endowment, with standards equal to those of schools accredited by such agencies as the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, etc.” OBJECTIVES As stated previously it was difficult to enumerate all the objec- tives of the secondary school but the committee that wrote the Con- stitution of the National Honor Society said: “The purpose of this organization shall be to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the American secondary schools.”? The four objectives mentioned are not the only ones but they do include many of the things for which the secondary schools stand. While scholarship is one requisite it is not the only objec- tive of the National Honor Society. These objectives may be defined or explained as follows: 1. Service is interpreted as: (a) A willingness to render cheerfully and enthusiastically any service to the school whenever called upon. (b) A willingness to do thoroughly any assigned service in school procedure or student government, such as acting as proctor, citizenship committeeman, or serving voluntarily on the staff of the school publication, etc. (c) A readiness to show courtesy to visitors by acting as * Ryn E., Honor Societies in Secondary Schools, School Review, XXX pe 1922) 456-466.

(d) A willingness to offer oneself as a representative of his class or school in interclass or interscholastic competition. (e) A willingness to uphold scholarship and maintain a loyal school attitude. (f) A willingness to render any other worthwhile service to the school, or through the school to the community. 2. Leadership is interpreted to mean: (a) Demonstrating a degree of initiative in the classroom activities which leads to higher scholarship for all. (b) Showing initiative in promoting any high-school ac- tivities. (c) Successfully holding school offices, committee chair- manships, and other positions of responsibility. (d) Contributing ideas which may be incorporated in the civic life of the school. (e) Exerting a type of leadership which actively and whole- somely influences toward a fine leadership. 3. A student may gain recognition in character: (a) By meeting his individual obligations to the school promptly and completely. (b) By demonstrating an honest spirit in his class work and a spirit of cordiality and sincerity toward his teachers and student associates. (c) By actively helping to rid the school of bad influences or environment. (d) By upholding the ideals of the Christian organization of the school whenever occasion affords opportunity. (e) By constantly demonstrating such qualities of person- ality, honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, and morality as are indispensable to the finest young manhood and woman- hood. The above definitions of the objectives were included in the first Handbook and were written by Messrs. Merle Prunty, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and L. W. Brooks, of Wichita, Kansas. 12. National Association of Secondary-School Principals The following is a copy of the instructions used in the Roches- ter (Minn.) High School: “I (the principal) am giving to you a list of forty-three seniors. This list constitutes one-third of the graduating class. From this list we are to select nineteen seniors, or fifteen per cent of the entire class. After the name of each of the forty-three students is indicated their scholastic rating and their intelligence quotient. On file in my office is a most complete extra-curriculum record for each in case you do not know the extra-curriculum record of each. “Please give each of the students a rating that in your opinion represents the very best nineteen students selected from the forty- three candidates for the National Honor Society. Rate them from one to nineteen inclusive. Consider them in terms of character, scholarship, service, leadership. “You will please, on scrap paper first, make your list by rank and not in alphabetical order. Sign your list. The rank is indicated at the end of the line. Students are graded on a basis of 100 points—25 points for scholarship, 25 points for character, 25 points for leadership, 25 points for service. Every student starts with 25 points in scholarship because he is in the upper third of the class in scholarship. You grade them in character, service, and leadership. You see the one who has the highest scholarship does not necessarily get the final rank of first, because he may not have contributed to the school in terms of service. Service should uphold scholarship, loyal school attitude, genuine courtesy, to do cheerfully and willingly anything there is to do. “First in the National Honor Society comes scholarship ; greater than scholarship is leadership; greater than leadership is service; and the combination of these is character. Character is achieved and not received. Character is the product of daily, hourly action, words, thoughts, daily forgiveness, unselfishness, kindness, sympathy, and struggles against temptation. The problem of character is the problem of self-control. You must be in reality what you wish to appear. ‘Character, the composite of all the common virtues, sets the seal of righteousness upon our every endeavor.’ (Macon, Mis- souri, High School.) “A student may gain recognition in character by: (1) Meeting his individual obligations to the school promptly and completely ; (2) Demonstrating an honest spirit in his class work, and a spirit S— oN NO Fe | | Handbook of the National Honor Society 13 of cordiality and sincerity toward his teachers and student asso- ciates; (3) Actively helping to rid the school of bad influences or environment; (4) Upholding the ideals of the Christian church whenever occasion affords opportunity ; and (5) Constantly demon- strating such qualities of personality, honesty, reliability, prompt- ness, achievement, and morality, as are indispensable to the finest young womanhood and manhood of America. “Leadership is apparent in those who have demonstrated a de- gree of initiative in the classroom activities which lead to higher scholarship for all; initiative in promoting high-school activities ; in successfully holding school offices; in contributing ideas which may be incorporated in the civic life of the school; by exerting the type of leadership which actively and wholesomely influences a fine leader. “Service is the cheerful and enthusiastic rendering of any pos- sible help to the school. It may be given in response to a request or be the generous offer of a pupil sincerely interested in the suc- cess of the whole school. It may be expressed in helpful acts per- formed for teachers or office force in the routine of school admin- istration. For this there is ample opportunity. It may be the friendly welcome and help given to a pupil new to the school and unhappy in strange surroundings. Again, it may be encouragement to a timid fellow student, protection in crowded corridors to smaller or less robust pupils, wise help on lessons for students who have fallen behind in their work, or work of class committees; in short, anything that makes for the happiness and efficiency of pupils and teachers alike. It is the expression of a soul that is trying to re- alize that helpfulness to others is the highest privilege of life and one of the chief ends of education. It is the altar of unselfishness on which the best souls of all ages have laid their most precious offerings. It is the altar from which God’s best blessings for man- kind have flowed. ‘Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.’ ” METHOps OF SELECTING MEMBERS Pupils who are eligible to membership must have a scholarship rank in the first third of their respective graduating classes.* Of *® Members were formerly chosen from the highest fourth but the Consti- tution was amended to include the highest third. Read Article VI of the Constitution. 14 ~=National Association of Secondary-School Principals the pupils who receive their diplomas not more than fifteen per cent may be members. Five per cent of the 11A pupils may be chosen, ten per cent of the 12B pupils, and the remainder during the 12A semester. Since the Constitution does not prescribe the manner of selection, examples of how some schools select the mem- bers may suggest a plan for others. One high school in Pittsburgh, Pa., submits to each teacher the names of all eligible pupils ar- ranged in alphabetical order and asks each teacher to put a plus mark after the name of each pupil whose record in service, leader- ship, and character merits election and a minus mark after each whom he deems unworthy (and to sign his name). The committee on election then tabulates the results and calls in for conference those teachers who can speak for or against any pupil. There are sometimes six or eight meetings of this committee. In the Central High School, Washington, D. C., the pupils who stand in the highest third of their respective classes are asked to fill out the following questionnaire which is given to the home- room teacher : To Honor Roti StTupEnTS, Section ...............c00000- : You are to be congratulated in that you are one of a small group of Central High School pupils whose scholarship attainments entitle you to a place on Central’s Honor Ro tt. Further information is desired relative to your high-school activities and to this end you are asked to answer the questions below. 1. In \ activities outside of the classroom have you engaged at Central High School? Activity Year Teacher in Charge 2. Have you been elected by your section or by your school associates to any office? Give details 3. Have you been entrusted, either by your section teacher or by other school authorities, with the carrying out of some special work (not classroom work) for the section or for the school? Nature of work done? 4. Do you do any regular work outside of your home? If so, give name of your employer; also address Signature han. La Se @ Se 7 ee a ae hi SERN ts Handbook of the National Honor Society 15 The principal of another high school gives a copy of the list of names of those standing in the highest third of their respective classes to the heads of departments, the athletic coaches, and guar- dian of publications. This group with the principal (comprises thirteen members of the faculty) makes the final selection. A meet- ing of the entire class is called and a list of the eligible candidates is given to them also. The sheet containing the list of names has four columns at right of names with the heading of the four ob- jectives. Each member of the class is asked to rate the number allowed over his own signature (fifteen per cent of the 12A class, etc.) by putting opposite each name and in the proper column his or her rating of eligible classmates. The maximum rating is twenty-five per cent and each eligible pupil has twenty-five per cent in the scholarship column. These selected lists from faculty com- mittee and students are collected and a sum total made by a joint committee of faculty and pupils. The real value of this method lies in the fact that it becomes a definite activity of the society where all may have a part. They are satisfied when candidates are selected. The reader might think that the students assume too much responsibility for the election but the final choice is made by the faculty committee and not by students. Students voted at a meet- ing but were told by the principal that their vote did not count in the final selection but that their judgment was desired to see how near it was to that of the faculty. The purpose in doing this is to provide an extra functioning activity for the group, and they are satisfied, and go out and talk among the juniors. The votes of the faculty are signed and are on file for anyone to see. The stu- dents like to compare their choice with the final choice of the faculty. Also, likewise it is a good balance for the faculty; if they know students will give the matter consideration—the faculty will give the matter more thought. In the Edison High School (Minneapolis) a list of eligible pupils, alphabetically arranged, is given to each teacher. Leader- ship is divided into three columns, service three, character four. Into each column the teacher puts down the rating according to a chart which defines the different divisions by which the objectives may be measured with more or less accuracy. 16 National Association of Secondary-School Principals Pel grt LEADERSHIP 1.

After much experimentation Merle Prunty, formerly Principal of the Central High School, now Superintendent of Schools, Tulsa, Oklahoma, decided upon the plan of arranging in alphabetical order the names of all pupils eligible as far as scholarship is concerned. At the head of the alphabetical list of pupils is the following device in columnar form for the aid of the teachers in estimating the pupils in character, leadership, and service. After each name, the teacher is asked to check in the proper column his estimate of the pupil ac- cording to the following instructions : CHARACTER LEADERSHIP SERVICE Below Above | Below Above | Below Above Average| |Average|Average| |Average|Average| |Average a o o NAME |>/elslalel/>leleiele/elelele BIE ElZIZI(EE EIS EEE El2 s/ElelElsisl Ell ElSisl] Ela Fis s/E/ (el sis]/8] |} elsis)8] | 8] s Als BIAIAIS niAiAIA an|A I— 10) —5 | 0} +5 |+10—10) —5 | 0} +5 |+10\—10) —5 | 0| +5 /+10 VLPs UAE, The checks are given numerical values as shown above. n Handbook of the National Honor Society 19 Vote on the basis of your total personal relationships with the student through administrative, classroom or organization contact. If you feel that you do not know any one of the characteristics re- garding a given student, do not feel obligated to vote. Vote on only those characteristics of which you have personal knowledge. é Each teacher ranks the students. A numerical weighting is given to each rank. The total numerical weights divided by the number of faculty rankings gives the composite faculty numerical weight. It is then possible to rank all students from one down- ward, etc., on each of the qualities. Finally, the total of the rank- ings including the scholarship rank is taken to get the student’s final rank for membership in the society. The upper fifteen per cent of the rank including the five per cent elected as juniors is skimmed off. After using the above scheme, Mr. Prunty says: “We heard 4 not a murmur of criticism from any corner. We think we have hit upon a successful plan.” i Principal Heitman of Sioux City, Iowa, says, “If pupils are listed according to scholastic standing their scholarship receives more attention than it should. It is my belief that if a pupil is in the upper third, his scholarship should not be further considered unless he is on the edge and in danger of dropping out. “Last semester the names of all those in the upper third of the class were printed on a sheet and a copy given to each teacher. This semester the one list of names was numbered from 1 to 103. Each teacher was given a large sheet of ruled paper with a column for each one of the objectives. Each teacher was asked to copy on this sheet the names prefixed by the number of the pupil given on the printed list and to fill out as many as possible of the columns labeled with the different objectives. Each teacher was asked to be sure to indicate for each name copied ‘upon what you base your knowledge and whether you had had the pupil in classes or study rooms.’ “In the columns under character, leadership, and service, the : digits 0, 1, 2, 3, are to be used. They will have the following meanings : O—that you have no knowledge about this quality. 1l—in the highest class for this quality. 2—in the medium or average class for this quality. 3—in the lowest class for this quality.” 20 National Association of Secondary-School Principals Spokane (Washington) has an excellent suggestive score card for rating candidates on the basis of leadership and service. There are four divisions of rating. Here is the first: First major activities and services, four (4) points. President A. S. B. Editor school paper. Football manager. Letters in debate (with no scholastic credit). Letters in basketball. Editor school annual. Business manager of annual. Business manager of school paper. Letters in football. The second division is “Second major activities and services,” three points for each of fifteen activities ; the third division, “First minor activities and services,” two points for each of eleven activities ; and the fourth division, “Second minor activities and services,” one point for minor leads in plays and operettas and for bankers. In another high school, a student must have ten points in ordet to be eligible for membership, eight of which must be made in school subjects as follows: 4 credit subject (prepared) Grade “A”—3 pts. 3 credit subject (unprepared) Grade “A”—1} pts. 4 credit subject (prepared) Grade “B”—1 pt. 3 credit subject (unprepared) Grade “B”—4 pt. “C” grade does not count, but neither does it qualify. “D” grade in any subject disqualifies. “A” grade in Physical Education—}3 pt. “B” grade in Physical Education—} pt. The other two points may be obtained from any one or two of the twenty-three “services” rendered the school; one of these points may be obtained by a special “recommendation by principal.” There is no general rule about the number of votes that a pupil should receive from the teachers or from the committee on election. Some high schools require a unanimous vote of the com- mittee on election, others require a two-thirds vote; still others, only a majority vote. Of course it would be almost impossible to get the unanimous vote of a large faculty for very many pupils. Handbook of the National Honor Society 21 No school is obligated to elect fifteen per cent of its graduat- ing class. Teachers should be asked, in addition to grading candi- dates, to state in writing detailed accounts of the definite qualities revealed by students in leadership, service, and character. They should, likewise, state any known facts which might operate to keep any of the upper thirty-three and one-third per cent of the class out of the society. After having the initial grading by the faculty and having then determined the initial ranking of the candidates, it is well to re-submit to one’s faculty or faculty committee the list of the fifteen per cent having the highest general standing from among the highest thirty-three and one-third per cent in scholarship ranking. The faculty might then decide to eliminate several of the candidates of lowest rank in order to uphold high standards in their school, and to be sure that every candidate elected is worthy of membership in the National Honor Society. ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULT OF ELECTION If the newly elected members are to take part in the rehearsal of the ritual ceremony before initiation, they, of course, must be notified in advance. They may be quietly summoned to the office for an interview with the principal or they may be called to the front of the assembly when their names are read out. The Shade- Cahaba High School of Birmingham, Alabama, has an annual ‘tap day’ with an impressive ceremony in the school auditorium. At this assembly there is a simple pledge service. Portsmouth (Ohio) High School has gowns for the new members who are called out of the assembly. The gowned group make an impressive sight. The South High School, Pittsburgh, Pa., also announces the newly elected members after the school has assembled. The principal sends special delivery letters notifying the parents of the election of their children and inviting them to the initiation exercises. To these exercises the public or at least the parents and alumni mem- bers should be invited and given prominent seats. The pupils of the Paseo High School of Kansas City, Mis- souri, who have been elected to membership in the National Honor Society receive through the mail an elegantly engraved announce- ment with the emblem embossed in gold at top of letter and signed by the principal : 22 = National Association of Secondary-School Principals Tue Facutty or Pasco Hick ScHOOL Kansas City, Missouri ANNOUNCES THAT YOU ARE ELECTED TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE PASEO CHAPTER OF THE NaTIoNAL Honor Society oF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN RECOGNITION OF SUPERIOR STANDING IN SCHOLARSHIP, CHARACTER LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE At the Gleveland meeting (1929), the Council of the National Honor Society decided to issue certificates to the members. A sam- ple copy of this certificate with prices may be obtained from Mr. H. V. Church, Morton High School, Cicero, Iilinois. THE INITIATION EXERCISES Probably the word “installation” would not be so suggestive of a secret society as the word “initiation”. However, the idea of secrecy will soon be dispelled if the exercises are given before the entire school and if the parents of the newly elected members are specially invited to be present. The date of the town’s charter, or of the admission of the state, or the anniversary of the birth of Roosevelt or of some other great man, might be an appropriate time to hold these exercises. “The program should be dignified and impressive throughout. The school at large will judge the society to a great extent by the public exercises. Here is a great opportunity to create au enthusiasm for scholarship among those who have not yet been awakened to the importance of a complete development of their powers. On the other hand, those who have been selected for membership should be made to realize that, because of their con- spicuous leadership, intellectual achievements, loyalty to high ideals, and nobility of character, they are not to withdraw from the ‘mass’ and form a ‘class’ but that this added honor carries increased obli- gation, that unusual ability entails extraordinary responsibility, and that they are greatest who serve most. “Will not the explanation of the torch, held high by the arm of youth, the emblem of the national society, be another opportu- nity to inspire all of the pupils with those ideals that challenge their highest and best powers ?”’* *School Review for June, 1922. a. ie 2 [6k Or Se ee ee ce cs as i ccs— ls Handbook of the National Honor Society 23 THE RITUAL Again those who wrote the Constitution felt that the individual chapters would be able to prepare a ritual best suited to their local conditions and equipment. The officers of the National Honor Society would be glad to receive copies of such rituals used in the different chapters. Many chapters have sent us copies and we have lent them upon request. Some of these rituals were pub- lished in Bulletin Number 27 (May, 1929) of the Department of Secondary-School Principals which was sent free to the entire paid- up membership of the Department. Extra copies may be purchased as long as the supply lasts. ACTIVITIES OF THE CHAPTER “In most of the high schools where chapters have been organ- ized, the school authorities prefer that the pupils who are members should not emphasize their membership by another organization but rather in the daily routine of the many school activities, show those qualities of character, leadership, and service modestly among therr classmates. In one high school three alumni members announced that they would meet on three evenings each week all first yeaa pupils who were doing poor work. Another chapter assumes re- sponsibility for publication of the honor roll in the school paper, has a list of volunteers who will help pupils who ask for assistance in their studies ; assigns sophomores whose grade at the end of the first six weeks are poor to members of the National Honor So- ciety for advice and assistance; present scholarship assemblies each year at which the cardinal points of the National Honor Society are emphasized. A third chapter conducts a scholarship contest every five weeks; copies of each student’s report card are kept in the office and by giving a value to each mark the winning rooms are determined and they given a party. Each winning room is given a pennant until the next contest. The active members of a fourth chapter purchased a scholastic cup which is presented at the assembly after each report period; social meetings are held each month at homes of the members; a skit is presented each year to the student body. A fifth chapter publishes the handbook each year, and coaches backward pupils during study hours. In the same chapter the alumni have organized a graduate association which keeps in touch with the active membership. A sixth chapter started a scholarship fund to aid needy and worthy pupils through 24 National Association of Secondary-School Principals the high school. A seventh chapter united with the Student’s Council in making a successful drive to help relieve the disastrous condition brought about by the Vermont flood. An eighth chapter functions very successfully in initiating drives for citizenship, fos- tering Better Speech Week, and similar campaigns. One of the best pieces of work is being done by a chapter whose members through a Lookout Committee, search out those pupils who are promising in leadership, service, and character but who are low in scholarship and urge them to bring up their scholarship record.”® THE EMBLEM While the purchase of the emblems is not obligatory practically every member of the National Honor Society wishes to wear one. There is scarcely a freshman class in any college to-day which does not include one or more members wearing the “keystone key”. (After the design was agreed upon competitive bids were taken and the lowest responsible bidder was awarded the contract.) The emblem is made in two sizes and each size is made in 10K and 14K gold. The prices of the larger are $2.20 and $2.50 and of the smaller $1.75 and $2.00. The emblems are usually purchased by the pupils themselves although many are purchased by the board of education. A few are presented by parent-teacher associations, by the senior class, or by the faculty. Jn no case may an emblem be purchased without the permission of the principal of the high school in which the chapter is located. The emblems are sent C. O. D. In accordance with the request of many chapters a plaque for the trophy room or case may be purchased from the Secretary, H. V. Church. Dues To THE NATIONAL COUNCIL While Section 1 of Article V of the Constitution says: “Each chapter of this organization shall contribute whatever amount may be assessed by the National Council, not to exceed five dollars annually”, it has never been necessary to assess a single cent and there will be no assessment so long as the finances of the Council continue in the present state. 5 Rynearson, E.

V. Church, Secretary of the Department of Secondary-School Principals, Sterling, Morton High School, Cicero, Illinois. Should help be desired in drafting a Constitution, Mr. Church will upon application send a copy of a model constitution which has been prepared to aid local chapters. When the Constitution is approved by the members of the National Council and if the secondary school “is supported by public taxation or endowment, with standards equal to those ac- credited by such agencies as the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, etc.,” the Secretary will send a char- ter. This charter is the authority for the school to elect its members. THE NATIONAL JUNIOR Honor SOCIETY For many years there has been a growing demand for a Junior Honor Society. The same need was recognized by the Phi Beta Kappa in the colleges where there are now being formed Phi societies with about the same standards as those of the parent society. Accordingly at the Cleveland meeting (1929) the Na- tional Council was authorized by the Executive Committee of the Department of Secondary-School Principals to organize the Na- tional Junior Honor Society. The object, of course, is to encourage scholarship among the lower classmen so that the momentum will carry throughout the high school and life career. A description of the junior honor society of Central High, Tulsa, Oklahoma, was given in Bulletin Number 12 of the De- partment of Secondary School Principals. The constitution of the National Junior Honor Society is based very largely upon that of Tulsa. This year and hereafter the junior high schools will be represented on the National Council: “The National Council shall each year nominate at least two junior high school principals one of which shall be elected to serve for a three-year term on the National Council.” (Section 2 of Article II.) 26 National Association of Secondary-School Principals “These societies shall be chapters within junior and senior high-school organizations having grades seven, eight, nine, or ten. Only schools of good standing will be granted a charter.” (Section 1 of Article III.) Under this plan the National Junior Honor Society will fill the long-felt need not only of the junior high school but also of the lower grades of the four-year high school. Many who answered the questionnaire sent out in January objected to the formation of the National Junior Honor Society because the members are apt to feel, “Well, I have made the honor society, I’ll take it easy” and slump in their work. It must be emphasized over and over again that membership in a junior honor society does not guarantee membership later in the National Honor Society. It is expected, however, that pupils who acquire habits of concentration, who have a strong character, and who are making a return to the school community in service will be seriously con- sidered when members are chosen for the National Honor Society. A separate Handbook for the National Junior Society may be obtained from the Secretary. RECORD OF MEMBERS As soon as students are elected to membership in a chapter, the principal of the high school should instruct the secretary of his local chapter to send a list of names giving the date of initiation and the class (11A, 12B, 12A) to which each belongs, to the Sec- retary, Mr. H. V. Church, Morton High School, Cicero, Illinois, who keeps a record of the membership of both the National Junior Honor Society and of the National Honor Society. NuMBER OF MEMBERS On April 30, 1930, there were 52,522 members who had been elected as members of the National Honor Society. NuMBER OF CHAPTERS By the close of the school year, 1929-1930, there will be over one thousand active chapters in the high schools of the United States. aia Dee enenee o06..4... 660s ALABAMA Amelia
