In pub Iish ing the fourteenth volume of the Viewpoint, we learned that in such an undertaking each staff member must hav e a definite assignment and endeavor o · fulfill that assigment to the best of his ability. The editing, advertising , and business management of an annual is , each, a large task which requires much ime and work. The students who are responsible for these particular assignments must have the abi Iity and enthus iasm to do their work well With these po ints in m in d the members of the Viewpoint staff were chosen

During the year the faculty and student body have been very helpful and cooperative for which we are very grateful.

Besides being very enjoyable the publi shing of the 194 l Viewpoint has been c:n interesting and educa t ional experience

In the above p ictu re Bob Keller , advertising manager , Dorothy Johnson , associate editor , Mr . Julius Humann , one of the facult y advise rs , Ruth McMurray , bookkeeper, and Floyd Henson, business manager , arrange some of the clipping s for the page Only Yesterday.

Typ ing

Ruth kept her Iittle fingers busy from January to June typing the material for the annual. These girls did a nice job , and did it eff iciently

These activities are an interesting , a vital part, o school life. In the 1941 Viewpoint we have attempte

to show as many of them as possible We hope that

you w1 enjoy it.

Scho larship and individual attainment should be emphasized and given first place in school Iife To give it more public recognition the College View chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1932 .

A council of the faculty membe rs , with the principal, Mr. Johnson, acting as chairman , selects the members of the society. To be a member, one must have attended College View high school for at least one year , and must be in the upper one-third of his class scholasticall y

Students chosen are those who have proven i n i t i at i ve , lead ersh ip , dependabi Iity an d good character.

They Who Lea

Memb ers of the National Honor Society from the senior class this year are Ruth McMurray, Norman Zabel , Dale G ibbs , and Floyd Henson. Dale , Ruth , and Floyd were elected this year, and Norman was elected in his junior year

The Nation a l Honor Society is an incentive for all students to work for high scholastic ratings and at the same time to cultivate good characters In doing this the society is of great benefit , both to the student , and to the American people.
