SENIOR HONOR ROLL CEREMONY The Union-Endicott annual candlelight ceremony, inaugurated in 1944, is held every spring to honor the graduates of our June senior class who have achieved high honor marks through their four years of high school. Each graduate, robed in the orange and black cap and gown, is escorted to the stage by an honor student of the junior class. Coming upon the stage in two rows on each side, they proceed to the center of the stage and wait quietly until every- one is in his or her position. The scene which follows creates a marked impression which will linger in our hearts for years to come. As each honored graduate's name is read, he or she comes to the center of the stage and from the table, there, takes a candle and lights it from the large center candle on the table. After this procedure, symbolizing the light of knowl- edge and wisdom of the world, each of the graduates is further honored by being permitted to inscribe his name on the permanent record of high scholastic achievement. The names are inscribed in order according to the averages, which must be above eighty-nine and one-half per cent. The auditorium is dimmed and the audience is hushed, thus creating the atmos- phere for our traditional Candle-lighting Ceremony in which we honor our seniors who are reaching for success through sustained effort, resulting in high scholastic achievement.
