NHS induction ceremonies honor 36 students Fifteen juniors and twenty-one seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society on March 6. joining the twelve present members. Roy Hall acted as master of ceremonies, giving recognition to the group, which included our four foreign stu- dents. for a successful mixture of scholarship, lead- ership. service, and character. Iroquois' Directed Independent Study program, one of two in Western New York, has shown in- creasing potential during each of its three years. Headed by Mr. Steislinger and Mr. Ferguson, the group operates on the premise that students of suf- ficient maturity are capable of benefiting from self- designed courses. Forty-one students, each with a faculty adviser, participated in the program, their studies ranging from poetry to psycho-cybernetics. Room 135 was converted into the DIS room, where members could pursue their work, play chess, do homework or talk. McCarthy escorts Benzin at the NHS ceremony. New members. NHS. FRONT ROW: D. Clark.

Assemblies: drugs to wiffle balls Assemblies provided a break in the often tedious routine of academic life. Each was differ- ent. Assemblies covered every- thing from the evils of drugs to the many wonderful peace-time applications of radioactive wiffle balls. Among the most successful of assemblies was the pre-Easter gathering of 1969. Iroquois saw star-studded all-student casts per- form in not one, but two plays— one of them written by a student. The whole extravaganza was topped by some wildly approved student folksinging. And as though that wasn’t enough: hun- dreds marvelled at the chorus of West Seneca and the band and chorus of Morrisville Ag. and Tech. The critics raved about simi- lar groups from Peterborough and Lycoming. The cultural cake was iced and candled by the orchestra, band and chorus of Iroquois. The sophisticated pazazz of Iroquois Gas left visions of little blue flames in the eyes of many. Assemblies were not without sentiment, though. Mrs. Robin- son finished her many faithful years at Iroquois with a fond farewell assembly—for a woman we all miss. Mrs. Robinson accepts farewell gifts. The Shire Choir from West Seneca visited Iroquois in May.
