Maria” set the mood and capac
ity-fill auditorium of students
and parents looked on.

Coble, Ann Elder, Rachel Jessup,
Judy Lea, and Sue Levine. Other.s
were Jan Phillips, Buddy Rives.
Harry Smith, Max Snodderly,

In order to be eligible for mem
bership, a person must excel in
scholarship, leadership, service
and character. An average of 90
is required as is an evidence of
scholarship, ability, service to
school and church, and a good
conduct record.
At the last meeting of Torch
light, November 21, the group
elected Harry Smith, senior,
treasurer for the present school
year. Harry will be in charge of
the Torchlight Talent Show in
the spring.
During the program, presided
over by Jean Medearis, president,
these four qualifications were
briefly outlined. Taking part were

In outlining the methods used
for selection of members, A. P.
Routh, principal, stated that he
believed Senior High’s to be most
democratic. Here a list of aU
persons eligible is distributed to
students, who then vote for those
they feel to be worthy. Faculty
members likewise vote by the same
method. Those receiving the great
est number of votes are then for
warded to a faculty advisory com
mittee which voices its opinion.
Finally Torchlight members vote
before school on the day of tap
ping.
There will be another tapping
in the spring at which time both
seniors and juniors will be chosen
for membership. Adviser to the
Society is Mrs. Mary Madlin, as
