Tapping ceremony follows new format Flickering candles carried by National Honor Society members signified the beginning of the '73-'74 tapping ceremony. Members dressed in long, black robes slowly proceeded down each aisle of the auditorium eventually reaching the stage. The guest speaker at the assembly was Mr. James McNeer, who talked about honor in today's society. The January l8 tapping ceremony consisted of 8 Seniors and 37 Juniors being officially initiated into the National Honor Society. ln this ceremony, a new procedure was followed in which all new- ly tapped members knew beforehand about their acceptance into the organization. After controversial discussions, Honor Society members and the administration decided upon the different format. Participating in a worthy and unique plan, members made an effort to aid fellow students through a tutoring program. The program was set up in the cafeteria before school as a beneficial service for the student body. Another activity which was undertaken by the members of the club occurred in August when they provided refreshments at the Freshman Orientation. Thus, in the past year, National Honor Society members attempted not only to recognize deserving students but also to serve the entire student body to an extent. l. With cake in hands, Marla Yancey and other newly tapped members enioy the refreshments provided after the ceremony. 2.
