S nioA. (HnniA, Socially The Class of '48 is proud of its achievement in placing eighteen members on Farming- dale High School's Senior Honor Society. The Senior Honor Society, which was organized and accepted its first members in 1934, never before had taken more than fourteen new members into its fold from one class. « The society was formed to recognize the high rank, in scholarship and student activities other than athletics, which some students attain during their high school career. The Honor Society members of the Class of '48 were chosen in an impressive candle- light ceremony on March 3rd, which was conducted by the Student Council. Joseph Krieger, our popular president of the Council opened the program. Dr. Lahr then spoke on the require- ments of membership in the Society, the meaning of the word honor , and congratulated the new members upon their achievement. The new members of the Honor Society were then tapped by a member of the Student Council, who brought them to the stage and seated them. Mrs. Sebastian Albrecht, a former Honor Society member, led the group in the honor society pledge, while each new member held a small lighted candle. She then awarded to each the insignia of the honor society, a small gold pin, and a certifi- cate of affiliation. The Honor Society members from the class of '48 include: Dorothy Baczew- ski, Serge Barton, Rosemarie Dallinger, Dolores De Fanis, Harriet Fling, Richard Fox, Eleanor Grell, Mildred Hansult, Carl Horvath, Herbert Jacobson, Doris Knoblock, Joseph Krieger, Sally McCain, Loretta Marino, Clara Mattern, Jean Obst, Irwin Rappoport, and George Titterton. 27
