,,A.-.B;.. V awhp Busy year National Honor Society has kept busy this year with their induction ceremony, candy sales, tutoring program and the honor breakfast. The induction ceremony was held Sep- tember 20, at the Raymore Methodist Church. Around 25 people were inducted, however, before they could be inducted they had to meet the main standards of NHS. The standards are: an 8.5 cumula- tive GPA, scholarship, leadership, service and character. The ceremony went smoothly and the guest speaker was Mrs. Winifred Fulk, who used to be a math teacher at R-P. She talked about her ex- periences with heart and lung transplants, and about donating organs. Another activity NHS was involved in was candy sales to raise money for schol- arships. They sold candy bars for a dollar a piece and made $900. NHS was also involved in a tutoring pro- . i Mrs. Mary Dobson speaks to the nve NHS officers at the induction cere- mony.

NHS students tutor students at the students, homes after school or on week- ends for $4 an hour and the tutors keep the money they earn. Unfortunately, the program has gone rather slow because of lack of sign-ups from NHS members and lack of publicity to students needing help. NHS students mostly tutored in reading and math. One other main activity that NHS spon- sored was the honor breakfast for students who have made the honor roll the first three quarters of the year. This is when honor students pick up honor pins and their lamp of learning. Mrs. Georgann Metheny commented, uNHS members are in this organization because of their leadership and involve- ment in other activities, plus grades. They are very busy! i,
