HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS ELECED Katherine Fleming, President; Lillie Mai Scruggs, Vice-President; Miss Jones; Sponsor At a very Interesting meeting the following officers were elected for the R. H. S. National Honor Society: President, Katharine Fleming; Vice President, Lillie Mai Scruggs; Secre tary, John Cole; Treasurer, Talmage Peele. ' Members of the society were elect ed much sooner this year than any year previous, as there is much work for them to start and cover at Ra leigh High before graduation. The faculty chooses the members from the upper fourth of the Senior Class who have the highest scholar ship for all four years. Only fifteen per cent of this number can be elected. Ten per cent have been chosen, so that five per cent will be chosen after Christmas. Each stu dent is judged according to his schol arship, leadership, service, and char acter in the school. Scholarship is the largest item, and much stress is to be made on that this year. A member must have been a leader in all school activities and must have been of some real service to the school in general before elected. And as to character, no student can be a member of the Honor Society who does not have a good opinion, atti tude and respect for the school, the pupils, and the faculty. So this year the Honor Society plans to achieve great things. It is very fortunate that the society has such a splendid sponsor and faculty adviser in Miss Laura M. Jones, who has always taken so much interest in the activities of the present Senior Class. Each member feels confident that Miss Jones will lead the society through a successful year of work for the- good of - the "school '-aTrdftttnTe senior classes. All meetings of the society will be public, and anyone who is interested is invited to attend. Members of the Raleigh High School National Honor Society of '25 are: Katharine Fleming, Elizabeth Cauthen, Annie Mae Crowder, John Henry Highsmith, Frances Doolittle, Talmage Peele, Minnie Nance, Robert Dunaway, Laura Mabel Haywood John Cole, Lillie Mai Scruggs, and Miss Jones, faculty advisor.

Thompson won all of her games, and at the end of the cham pionship series led her nearest rival, Centennial, by two games. She is now trying to book games with out-of-town grammar school elevens.
