The National Honor Society Membership in the National Honor Society is attained by having an accumula- tive point average of 3.50 or better and by evidencing the qualities of leadership, character, and service. The installation ceremonies are very impressive. At the beginning of the cere- mony the present members of the NHS make the candidates known and then lead them to the stage. After each candidate has been instructed on the qualities of Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service, they are given the oath of the Society. After the oath has been given to the group, each candidate’s name is called — the candidate then comes forward placing his candle at the base of the flaming torch and then the candidates receive their certificate of induction in the National Honor Society. The symbols may best be explained as: Mr. Tom Vrettos Character — the evaluation of one’s personality guided by the influences that control one’s life. Leadership — demonstrating a high degree of initiative in class room activities, holding high school offices, committee chairmanships, and other positions — contributing ideas which may be incorporated in the civic life of the school exhibiting the type of leadership which actively and wholesomely influences toward the qualities of leadership in others. 98 Scholarship — is interpreted in terms of true aca- demic excellence as evidenced by an overall high school average of 3.5 in a grading system in which 4.0 represents the highest level of achieve- ment. Service — service to others is the highest form of happiness — it is part payment of man’s debt to society for its advantages and protection — serv- ice enriches the heart of the bestower and supplies the needs of the recipient.
