The Monroe Honor Society was organized in the spring of 1949. The purpose of this society is to recognize achi eve ­ment by students in all school activities. The four fields in which points may be earned for membership are athletics, leadership clubs, service clubs, and scholarship. A student may accumulate points throughout the years in our school and thus obtain greater honor.

The Most Outstanding Student Peggy Ramsey

President of the Monogram Club, Cheerleader, Clerk of Point System, M ember of Latin Club, Member of Y-Teens, Choir Accompanist, Tenth Grade Class Editor, Basketball Queen.
