{ DO YOU KNOAV—
What the Honor System Is?
•«*O**0**e*««*«#«*9**««*#*«O**««t9*»9*
I’revious to 1924 the honor roll sys
tem Avas primarily a contest betAveen
session rooms. Each building (Barn
C Avas not then constructed) had a
large shield, upon Avhich Avas inscrib
ed the numl)er of the session room
Avhich had the largest number of hon
or pupils; that is, students avIio main
tained for the month an average of
90 per cent or above. This type of
competitive scholarship, AA'hile it did
stimidate interest among se|Bsion
rooms, did not develop the individual
zeal.
In 1924 Aliss Nitra Gressit instituted
the present star system in G. H. S. It
Avas first thought best not to alloAV
freshmen to Avear stars; and the
bronze stars Avere to be AA’orn by sopho
mores and upper classmen, Avhile the
juniors and seniors only could Avear
the silver stars, and only seniors AA’ere
given' gold stars. Hoaa^ anyone may
Avear a bronze or a silver silver star
but the gold AA’as ones are limited to
members of the senior class.
Aliss Lanra Tillett had charge of the
s.vstem fo ra AA’hile after Aliss Gressit
left G. H. S. HoAA’eA’'er, Miss lone
Grogan is head of the schc>larship com
mittee and has charge of delivering
and collecting the stars.
To get a bronze star an average of
at least 90 must be made. This means
on all subjects together, not 90 on
each one. For instance a star Avill be
given if a student has three “A’s” and
tAA’o “B's” A pupil must make as much
as “A” on deportment before he can
Avear a star.
In order to get a silver star, a
bronze one must be Avorn fiA’e conse
cutive months; and for a gold one, a
silver star Avhich has been Avorn nine
successive months is exchanged. If a
person is entitled to a gold star be
fore he is a senior, it is nec'essary for
him to keep it until the jmiior exams
have been passed. If a gold star is
Avorn during an entire senior year, the
Avearer becomes OAA’iier of the star.
The purpose of the system i sto pro
mote scolarship at G. H. S. The stars
are used as an incentive to more study
for it is an honor to OAvn a star.
Some boys are a Avhole lot like kero
sene lamps, not especially bright, often
turned doAvn, smoke a lot and go out at
night.—Exchange.
