Golden Knot Honor Society
Plans Induction Ceremony
Members of the Golden Knot Honor
Society have recently been making
plans for its annual induction cere
mony. Committees have been work
ing on preparations for the formal
induction to be held during the regu
lar chapel hour on May 15 in How
ard Chapel for Sophomore, Juniors,
and Seniors.
The purpose of the society is to
achieved this success.
The selection of the members is
based on character, scholarship,
leadership, and service. Although a
“B” average for three successive se
mesters must have been maintained,

prospective members must have ap

a list of those students with the scho
lastic average has been compiled
by the registrar, the honor society
further studies the list and selects
those students who have exhibited
outstanding qualities of character,
leadership, and service.
This year, Mrs. Dorothy Eagles
and Dr. William Troutman have been
