Volume High School, Provo, Utah, Friday, February 6, 1948 Why No Honor Roll It was planned by the student council in one of the weekly meetings that an Honor Roll should be published at the end of each term. It, therefore, stands to reason that we should publish the Honor Roll this issue. However, due to the fact that the members of the student body failed to get their cards back to the teachers, an Honor Roll is impossible for this issue of the paper. In all fairnes to yourself and the rest of the student body, get your cards back to the teach ers so that an Honor Roll can be made up.

Like all other problems, this, too, has two sides. In thinking of e. changing our colors we must hat with the change we loose school s tradition The of a Question at hand is will the change be of value, enough to make the change worth while? Maybe none of us have ever gone back into the history of our school enough or we would find that what we have is something really great, and worth clinging real-futur- ra to. This should be considered be- fore we do anything drastic. Another point, before we make the final step, what colors shall we change to, and can we ever find a more peppy and colorful combination than the one we now have? There are many points, pro and con, and you, as the student body should study this so that you can make your choice to help make our Y high a better school! |
