National
Honor Society inducts 44 this year
By: Lexi Martin
Induction into the National Honor Society is
one of the biggest achievements students can achieve in their high school
careers. Each year, Ripley High School inducts juniors and seniors with at
least a 3.6 cumulative GPA and well-rounded characteristics. NHS hands out
applications every spring for promising students who have enough qualifications
to be potentially inducted to the Honor Society.
Unfortunately, all of the people who get
applications cannot be inducted but the people who are accepted, are lucky.
Being inducted is definitely something to be proud of. Usually, the inductees
are mostly juniors and a few seniors and this year was no different. To be
considered for induction is a tremendous honor. Being taken in as a member is
something to be truly proud of.The members of the Honor Society take part in
the Adopt-A-Family, fundraisers, and the Ripley High School blood drive,
community service, and other activities.
“Each year the Society takes part in two
service projects, Adopt-A-Family, and a community project,” adviser Elizabeth
Sayre said.
The induction ceremony was held April 18 in
the auditorium. After saying the Pledge of Allegiance, Principal Will Hosaflook
spoke about the importance of the Honor Society and the Light Brigade. The
Light Brigade is Ripley’s chapter of the Honor Society, but each school is
different. Following, senior officers President Anna Robinson, Vice President Nathan
Tucker, Secretary Brittani Hancock, Treasurer Erica Gibson, and Historian Sarah
Williams spoke about what it (characteristics, service, leadership, and
character) means to be a member of the Society and what the exact requirements
are asked of a new member. Finally, Assistant Principals Jeff Banton and Bev
Shatto inducted the new members.
The 2014 inductees are: Caisie Adcock, Tori
Anderson, Christy Armentrout, Cody Bailey, Callan Banks, Lindsey Boggess,
Meghan Brannon, Jared Casto, Sydney Casto, Abby Edwards, Sarah Evans, Holly
Farkosh, Jacob Fields, Megan Frampton, Matt Groves, Kelli Hinzman, Rebecca
Joyce, Jacob Kay, Elizabeth King, Kailee Mann, FaytheMaston, Justin McKown,
