Mitchell's Homeroom
Holds Honor Record
Maybe most of the brains are
passed out at the beginning of the
alphabet, but whether this is true
or not, one would certainly get
that impression from the fact that
Miss Mitchell’s homeroom 317,
consisting of members of the Sen
ior Class whose last name begins
with A and down through Bo—,
has consecutively won the honor
plaque each six weeks of this school
year.
This is the third year Miss
Mitchell has had the same students,
except for a few changes in her
home room, since she has been
class adviser to the students of
this home room in their sophomore,
junior and now senior year.
Some of the students making
regular honor roll in room 317
would have made special honor
roll if they had been taking four
major subjects. Four majors is a
requirement for special honor roll
students.'
Don’t get the idea that the rea
son so many of these students are
on the honor roll is' that they are
taking crip courses. Of course,
if higher mathematics such as
college algebra, solid geometry, and
Algebra 4, not to mention various
languages, chemistry and physics
are considered east'’, then this
might be so. These students are
tackling the hardest subjects of
fered at GHS’s and yet many of
them consistently make honor roll.
Most of the students in this
home room have many extra cur
ricular activities that require a
great deal of their time. In home
room 317 there are five members
of Torchlight, students who have
been or are on the Student Coun
cil, three first string football play
ers, and others who fill high po
sitions at GHS. Several times, the
best citizen of the entire Senior
Class has been selected from this
home room.
Approximately 80 seniors are
planning to make their annual trip
to Washington April 28, and will
return May 1.
For the past 18 years the sen
iors have taken a trip to Washing
ton, D. C. in late April or early
May with two exceptions, which
were during the war.
' The cost of the trip for each stu
dent will be $28 which will cover
transportation and hotel fees.
