NHS Inducts New Members Scholarship, leadership, and service were the qualifications of twenty-two stu- dents inducted into the National Honor Society. The special ceremonies, held in April, featured the lighting of the symbolic candles and a speech by Mr. Harry B. Dyche. Jr., principal. Members of the NHS operated their bookstore during both lunches. Paperback books were available for all students to purchase. The NHS cooperated with En- glish teachers by ordering large numbers of books such as Of Mice and Men and The Old Man and the Sea for students studying them in class. National Honor Society members at- tended the NHS state convention and also a seminar at William and Mary. The pur- pose of these meetings was to coordinate the activities of the local chapters.
