"In 1939, Chester High School was honored by being admitted to the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. This society recognizes and emphasizes scholarship, character, service, and leadership within the school. Membership in this organization is the greatest honor which can be conferred upon a high school student.
Rigid requirements admit only fifteen per cent of the seniors and five per cent of the juniors for membership. Any student falling below "B" average may be dropped from the society by majority vote of the faculty and committee.
The emblem, a flaming torch set in a keystone with letters C.S.L.S. represents the four qualifications.
