     The National Honor Society is a school organi-zation for outstanding stu-dents in grades 7-8-9 of the regular Junior High School. The purpose of this society is to create an enthusiasm for superior scholarship; to develop loyal pupil citizen-ship; to stimulate a desire to serve faithfully one's school, community and country; to promote trust-worthy leader-ship and to instill exemplary qualities of character in the pupils of Glenridge Junior High School.

     Membership in this chapter shall be based on scholarship, school citizen-ship, service, leadership, and character. To be eligible to membership in this chapter, the student must have attended at least one semester in Glenridge. All pupils in the 8th and 9th grades who have a scholarship rank in the upper third of the class or have a scholarship average of B shall be eligible to candidacy in the Society. Their further eligibility shall then be considered on their school citizenship, service, leadership, and character. Any member who falls below the standards which were the basis for his election to the Society, his case shall be passed upon by the Faculty.

     To select members for this chapter, each member of the Faculty rates the students, eligible to membership, whom he has had in class or whom he knows personally in some school activity. Each rated on the basis of school citizenship, scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Each of these qualifications is given equal weight in the evalua-tion of the candidate.

     Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors which may be bestowed upon a student. It is an honor which every one may not attain but it is one for which everyone should strive.
