sion  ot  the American    l.egion.    guest Address at   Exercise  of  New  Italian   sjieaker ot the occnsion. Mr. Hemmerly | Church in Ambler — Visiting Pastors   discussed the iiualltles upon which the;
students iire judged: ',
Honor, scholiirshiji. service, Ameri¬ canism and leadershlji. are the traits which the well rounded hoy and girl should jiossess. The American Ijegion uses the Hve principles as a basis ujion which to make its declslon.s as to whom the award should lie given. i
Pennsylvanlii leiids the states in the numlier ot school iiward medals which are given to the Imys and girls in the' eighth grade, who hiive lived uj> to the .requirements set forth bv the American 1-cglon. In this state alone there are a.p- jiroximalely IXdO awards jiresented iin- ' nually to grammar seh^ml students.
Just as to he a member of the Nmtlonal Honor Society is one of the greatest honors for Senior high school stud"nts, so also to re'-elve the American l.eglon award is a great honor for Junior high school students.
