Page Four THE POINTER November 7, 1950 N. H. S. Inducts 16 Seniors In Fall Candlelight Service Flickering' candlelight and soft music in a darkened auditorium furnished the background for the induction of sixteen seniors of High Point High School into the National Honor Society on Octo ber 25. This ceremony was presided over by the president, Vivian Miller. After the devotions, taken from Matthew 16, given by Mary Lib Casey, the society members quiet ly left the stage and, moving through the audience, tapped those seniors who were to receive the coveted honor. The requirements for member ship: Character, Scholarship, Lead ership, and Service were personified by Tommie Strother, Albert Hale, Max Williams, and Gladys _ Hall respectively. Frances Mull, inter preting Light, gave to the new members candles, the lighting of which symbolized knowledge and leadership. To the strains of Handel’s “Largo,” played by Betty Ann Sain, pianist, and Ruth Ann Phil lips, violinist, the inductees were led to the stage, where they took the pledge and received member ship cards and the colors of the society. The newly inducted seniors are: Marty Burton, Venetia Wilcox, Ramelle Hylton, Ann Allred, Anne Garst, Jimmy Lovelace, Johnny Bell, Norma Jean Ansell, Jerry Furgurson, Ronnie Current, Rachel Leonard, Teasa Bloom, Nancy Samuel, 0. H. Rierson, Joann Gra ham, and Connie McGhee. As customary, parents were noti fied of the induction shortly before the ceremony, thus making certain that the inductees had no indica tion that they were to be tapped.
