Certain rnjes are laid do'-yn'by the
National Honor Sqc|||^ ^regarding
the selection pj|ypH!&n^flF& First; that-
only those who are in tbe upper
third of the cjass may be considered;
second, that a committee of at least
(four teachers1 do the'selecting' and,
third, that .they - be ■ ' selected upon
these four points—Scholarship, Lead- j
ership, Service and Character. Up to
fifteen per cent of the graduating
cass may be selected to membership
in the Society. !
In order to make the selection as
carefully and thoroughly as possible
this year the students in the upper
third of the class were called in and
asked to ;rate each other student in
Leadership, Service and Character;
Scholarship already being rated as
each was. in the upper third. Then
each teacher was. asked to rate each
of these nineteen students. The consensus off opinion of these two groups
was used' by the committee iu the
final selection, The committee was
composed of Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Tichenor, MiSs Rogers and Mr. Bates.
Fifteen percent of the graduating
class would entitle the selection o<
eight members. When tlie actua)
choosing took place it was found thai
only seven could be selected, there
being a rather wide difference in ser-
A'ice and leadership qualities following the seventh selection.
The following Seniors were chosen,
listed alphabetically, to membership
in 'the Clare Chapter: Bernard Ackj

Gibbs," Josephine Green, William

The insect can be controlled by

The memorial poppies which the
AA'omen of the American Legion Auxiliary Avill distribute here on "Poppy
Day", Saturday, May 26th, will recall
vivid'pictures to the minds of World
War veterans who served overseas.
The*poppieB blooming amid th,e waste
and destruction of the battle, front;
and among the bare graves' of the
dead,, left ai^unforglettabie impress/on on the American soldiers.
When the American divisions drove
forward in the great offensives of
191S,' they entered a region torn,- desolated ajid trampled by the njosi tre-
me'ndous batt|e§^g|. history? Destruction and death Ave># everjr||jjer« $ut
amid it all the littje*;-wim PPPpies
bloomed on. When machine gun and
shell fire took its toll, from tj->e American ranks, the poppy was nature's
floral, offering on, the graves 'Pf the
dead. To us those poppies, seemed
| to. symbolize- the hravevspirit of oui'
t'allen comrades and Avhen we returned home we made tlie poppy the
memorial flower of The American
Legion.
Poppies   to   he  Avorh   in   tribute  to
the men avIio    gave their   lives   for
America in the World War   will   be
offered on the streets throughout the
city    Saturday,    May    26th,    by   the
American  Legion   Auxiliary    women.
Men of the Legion are cooperating in
promotion of tlie project.    The   poppies, papur replicas "of    the    flowers
that grew on  the battle fields, have
been made by disabled veterans at U.
S. -VeL-rans  Hospital  No. 100,  Canip
Custer, -Michigan.    All   contributions

Aroted   to the  rehabilitation' and Avel-
