Afford ireffer Discussions "'rills method of having the forums was planned because the auditorium is not always available for programs, and a much better discussion can be h('ld with a small group present,” Mrs. Estelle Lettwin, faculty advi.ser to the coum-il, stated last wi*ok.

Merry Christmas From "Started almost two decades ago, the present honor roll award system at Senior liigh school has changed very little since 1021, at which time it was established by the Civitan club of Greensboro,” stated Principal A. P. Eouth, when queried on the subject yesterday. Purpose of Awards Stated The Civitans, seeking some tangible way to reward those students who distinguish themselves scholastically, inaugurated the system of presenting pins. In the course of 20 years, the Civitan club has contributed generously to the fund set up for purchasing the honor badges. “Wlien a student makes the honor roll for the first time, he is entitled to wear a bronze pin. Silver and gold pins are given after making the roll a number of consecutive times,” Mr. Boutli explained. The honor pins are being distributed in pi’actically the same manner as that of 20 years ago. There liave, of course, been several necessary changes. When there were four grades, the pins were awarded on the basis of semesters: when there were three grades, they were presented by years. At the pres ent time, however, since there are only two grades, the plan has been once more changed to semesters.
