Mr. Bagg names Darryl Mazur, Thespian of the Year, for his ex- cellent, dramatic contributions in Proscenium productions. An equally outstanding job also earns Craig Newton the title of Thespian of the Year, in a first-time tie for the honor. GSM Drama, journalism mi honor achievement Going by the name of Troop 1500, Seaholm's chapter of the National Thespian Society encourages out- standing effort in the field of dra- matics. To be eligible, candidates must put one hundred hours of work into Seaholm dramatics. At the annual Proscenium ban- quet, Mr. Bagg, Seaholm dramatics' instructor, awards each National Thespian with a certificate of merit and a year's subscription to the dra- matics magazine. Seaholm's version of the Oscar awards, the Oswalds, are also given out. ln 1966 Seaholm set a precedent with two Thespians of the Year. ln Mr. Bagg's opinion, both Darryl Mazur and Craig Newton merited the honor of most outstanding actor. Another honor organization, Quill and Scroll, inducts students with ex- perience in the field of publications. Recommendations from Mr. Wagner and Mr. Hammel, the journalism ad- viser, are required. Candidates must be in the upper lOCKa of their senior class. A student who fails to meet one of the Quill and Scroll pre- requisites may receive a letter of commendation. At the annual journalism banquet newly initiated Quill and Scroll mem- bers and commendation winners, all receive recognition from Mr. Ham- mel, All students associated with journalism are invited to attend the lavish dinner at Bedell's. Mr. Hummel brandishes his gift from his journalism staffs. Y Y7 - -W - 7 Terry Oppenheim Angela Orlando Susan Orlando Harry Orr Curt Osborne

NHS recognizes students The National Honor Society recognizes high chool students who demonstrate a high degree nf character, service, leadership, and scholarship. uniors who have maintained a 3.2 scholastic aver- uge may apply for consideration, a 3.0 average required in the senior year. Teachers assess the candidates whom they know and may select TOM f the Juniors and 5? of the Seniors. NHS expends a great deal of time and effort n the preparation of the ceremony. Four old mem- oers must be selected to speak on the qualifica- tions for membership. Flowers must be purchased, invitations to parents must be sent, the student- parent tea must be arranged. On the day of the induction, parents are seated in May induction ceremony on the floor of the gymnasium, while old members of NHS appear in the traditional maroon robes to usher and participate in the ceremony. As the his- torian reads the list of new members, these stu- dents stand in the bleachers to recognize the honor. After repeating the NHS oath on the gym floor, they receive their certificates of merit from Mr. Wagner. Although NHS is primarily honorary in nature, its induction ceremony is not the only undertaking. The semiformal Valentine's dance in February is sponsored by the society. In addition, NHS has established a tutoring service. Many students ex- periencing dilficulties in their studies have received help from NHS tutors, particularly in mathematics. 'ooking regally upon the proceedings as old NHS members, Simpson, Claudia Owen, speaker on characters and Jim Lyneis, Eue Harrington, speaker on serviceg moderator-president Dave speaker on scholarship, sit upon the platform- Ielebrating their induction into the National Honor Society, meet in the Maple Room immediately after the ceremony to Aary Steere, Pat Smith, Margaret Honnold, and Claudia Horn fraternize with other new members.
