Former NHS Members Welcome Inductees l-eft: Some of the old members of N.H.S. wait patiently for new mem- bers to be inducted. The fifty-eighth annual National Honor Society In- duction was held on April 25, 1985 in Benton’s auditorium. Old members carried the so- ciety’s flower, a yellow rose, and wore yellow stohls. New members carried lit candles and wore blue stohls. Speeches were made and scholastic pins and certifi- cates were given to people in the various classes. After the pledge of the new members, N.H.S. President Bill Lamar announced the new officers for 1985-86. They are Presi- dent; Rob James, Vice-Presi- dent; Jacque Horn, Secre- tary: Tracy Fredrickson and Treasurer: Karen Sauter. A reception was held after- wards in the lobby of the Springer Gymnasium.
