Scholarship serves as basis for ceremonies Over the glow of the candlelight, the speaker stated, “I light this candle symbolizing leadership...” Her speech echoed through the guiet gymnasium as proud parents watched their children become inducted into the Honor Society. The highly-regarded traits of scholarship, leadership, service, and character were given top priority that night as students who possessed these qualities were honored for them. The hard work that they had to go through during the past few years seemed to finally pay off. At the induction ceremony in late-October, various seniors who were already members gave speeches on the characteristics that were evaluated for membership into the Honor Society. To be eligible, juniors had to have an accumulated grade point average of 95, and seniors had to have a 93. Eligible students were then required to fill out applications to express their desire for membership. The final step of the membership process was teacher evaluations. Teachers read over the applications and evaluated the students on the characteristics that the Honor Society was looking for. Students who were given high ratings by teachers were then inducted as members of the Honor Society in October. George Grabianowski, a Congressional nominee in the November election, served as guest speaker at the induction. As students received their Honor Society pins and took the society’s pledge, they realized that their membership carried more with it than just honor. It carried the obligation to continue to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that resulted in their selection. Principal Ernest Medcalfe congratulates new members on their new membership and their parents for their support and help. Honor Society Years of hard work finally paid off for some students as they were recognized with membership into the Honor Society.
