Ceremonies Emphasize Achievement ‘Being tapped into an honor society is one of the main highlights of your year. It’s used to recognize those students who have excelled in service to the school and in academic progress,” said Quill and Scroll President Lila Ghatak. The two honorary societies, National Honor Soci- ety and Quill and Scroll, held individual tapping ceremonies to induct new mem- bers. Selected students were required to have high scholastic averages and lead- ership within the school. The faculty ap- proved each prospective member. Tap- ping became an important aspect of school life. Emphasis was put on aca- demics as well as service. AS we moved into new directions, honorary societies took on more significance while preserv- ing traditions handed down over the years. After being tapped into Quill and Scroll, Jennifer Tolpi, Betsy Musselman, and Mary Wampler look over the food.

— thi one Son ams eeeienie aie die ¢ A Spring Fling To Florida ‘“‘Daytona Beach, here we come!”’ Such was the cry of the summer-clad members of the Madrigal and Jazz Choirs. Over their summer wear, they sported heavier jackets as they left Richmond in 40 0 weather for the 75 0 Orlando, Florida. Both choirs were entrants in the Flor- idaworld Music Festival on the basis of prior acceptance by a board of music ex- perts, who judged choirs from all over the country. Each of these choirs won a bronze medal, and all choir members en- joyed their vacation away from home. Other events on the agenda were a morning spent at Sea World, a day spent at Disneyworld, and a day at Daytona Beach. After seventeen long hours on a James River bus, the weary travelers re- turned home with fond memories and sun- burn. A Decade in existence.
