NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Character, scholarship, leadership and service are what the National Honor Society is all about. It is an organization of dedicated and responsible individuals who are selected from the Junior and Senior classes, and are recognized for their outstanding achievements in the previously mentioned four areas. Each year the Society holds an induction ceremony during which the new members arc formally initiated in a solemn chapel service and a subsequent banquet. Being in the National Honor Society, however, is not an easy sinecure. It requires a lot of service to the school community. One primary function of the society is tutoring. It is a service offered to the members of Ryan’s community who need a little help to better understand their academic studies. This year the society also extended its role of service throughout the neighborhood community by helping to entertain orphans at a Halloween party held at Ryan and by visiting sick children at a nearby hospital. All of us should be proud of having such outstanding young leaders in our school community. Officers of the National Honor Society: D. Malloy. Pres.; K. Glaccum, Sec.; P. Nugent, Vicc-Pres.; M. Gardyasz, Trcas. The members of the National Honor Society.
