Lip poppfni Mr. George August accepts gift from NHS officers Jerry Pena, Deb- bie lmai, Janet Woodyard, Joaquin Tris- tan and Dina Valdez at the initiation cer- emony for Junior inductees. llktilmiat initiates dress up lnitiations are an important part of an organization's activities. They are the general method of induction of new members. Webster's New Student Dictionary defines initiation as, the ceremonies with which a person is made a member of a society or club. Anyone who has ever gone through an initiation has their own personal definition of the word! Latin club members define initiation as wearing a toga made from a bedsheet over your clothes for a whole day at school. Students joining vocational clubs had a dress-up initiae tion which some defined as humiliating and embarrass- ing. Vocational Drafting students had to wear their clothes turned inside out and hang a sign around their necks reading, Ask me about VD. They also had to be able to recite an oath whenever anyone asked about them to on initiation day. National Thespian Society initiates dressed as their favorite characters for initiation. National Honor Society members inducted in late Octo- ber were officially initiated with a candlelight ceremony and an oath at the Summit Club atop the First Interna- tional Bank of Houston. Don't stick me. Senior NHS mem- bers Cynthia Wood and Dina Val- dez pin boutonnieres on Junior inductee Ross Mittel. Glad to be here.

With only 5 or 6 present on any given day the members seemed to rotate absenteeism and yet, every 4 weeks a paper full of stories that took interviews, telephone calls, typing and late nights to prepare came out. The paper staff members and sponsor Ms. Peggy Schneider made numerous trips during the year over to the printer on Bingle where only they and the printer know what really happened. In a mess of scattered papers, scotch tape, quarter pounders, grease pencils, exactos, scissors, stick glue, dummy sheets and a few fingernails the staffers stirred around until late one evening each month when they threw up their hands and called the paper com- plete. The next two days were spent recuperating and on the third, the li I can't believe we're doing this. Besides taking pictures and reporting, James f-Knigge and Vickie Ashley participate in the Sadie Hawkins assembly by dressing cafeteria was raided by nine money hungry staffers selling the ' paper for 105: a copy. After the last issue in Nlay which contained what seemed like 9,000 last will and testaments, the staffers who were still willing to talk felt this way after a year on paper staff. The most exciting part was the Sadie Hawkins programs we prepared, although it was a lot of work and at times frustrating, remembered Vickie Ashley.
