Is Youngsters
Are Selected
For Abilities
BY SUSIE KAPLAN,
10. 4.7368

In view of the sensationalism
of the movies and the newspapers
of the rapid growth of teen-age
delinquency, it is with a great
deal of pride that 1 name the Is
students of Wheaton High who
made the National Honor Society
last week. This is the first such
group in the history of the new
school.
They are-Marc Jacobs, Jean
Budd, Barbara Carporotti, Jim
Conklin, Cynthia Brown, Irene
Gershon, Jane Giles, Richard Nc
Connaughy, Jim Pike, Jerry
Power, Arletta Chesley, Norma
Henley, Pete Stadler, Bill Rush,
and Harry Slye.
Not only is the student judged
his scholastic rating, but he must
be a well-rounded individual as
well. For instance, he must
maintain B or better average,
his service to the school, his gen.
eral character, and leadership
qualities are all standards set by
the National Honor Society. Each
student is checked for his ability
in each category.
1t is a lifetime honor for the
student.
The selected students have al
ready met and elected their own
officers for the New Royal Chap
ter of the Wheaton High School
National Honor Society.
Those elected were: Barbara
Caporotti, President, Jane Giles,
Vice President; Jim Pike, Treas
urer and Norma Henley, Secre.
tary.
PaSchal Emma, the science
teacher who was in charge of
the program, couldn't find the
proper words to praise the kids
who had been chosen. ~
Mrs. Clapp who sponsored the
group, unfortunately had been
called out of town for an erner-
gency and 1 didn't get a chance
to speak with her.
Wheaton High had a high per.
centage of students selected when
you realize that it is a new school
and a double school at that.
1t is difficult enough in these
days of overcrowdedness to keep
a good program moving for teen
ayers in any case, but with new
building, new staff, new princi.
pal, just new everything, must
2 say that the school enthusiastically
has made amazing progress in
just one short year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Out of
all the excitement accompany
ing Fred Dwyer's mile victory
over the two "invincibles" Yves
Santee and Gunnar Nielsen -
comes the inescapable conclu-
sion that the four-minute mile
indoors is a long way of.
If Santee runs himself out
with a 1859 half, as he did in
the Baxter Mile of the New
York A.C. Games Saturday
night, there isn't much hope. A
miller has to come close to two
minutes for the half if he is
going to cross the finish in four
minutes.
Dwyer, himself, put his finger
on the crux of the situation
when he observed that 1859 is
too fast for a half indoors.
Terms Pace Foolish.
'I think I'll win the next time
the three of us race" said the
confident 23-year-old CT from
Villanova.
Furthermore, I think Santee
is through for the rest of the
season. / think he has burnt
himself out trying for records.
