A Wonderful Tradition that Lives On


Schutz Honor Societies Welcome Its New Inductees
By Nikhil Krishnan

An important traditional event held every year, the NHS/NJHS Induction Ceremony was held on May 24, 2010 in the auditorium to recognize and welcome the new inductees in the Schutz Honor Societies (SHS). This year, six students became part of the Schutz Honor Societies. Christian Atallah, Mena Alla Bedran, Hana Kira and Farida Sabry were inducted in the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) chapter of Schutz while Sarah El Sebakhy and Nada Zaher were inducted in the National Honor Society (NHS) chapter of Schutz.
The event commenced with Arnab Chaudhuri, the current Schutz Honor Societies President, giving an introductory speech that described the ideals and qualities that SHS students abide with. The ceremony then proceeded with the current SHS members lighting the five candles that represent the five characteristics that lead the Schutz Honor Societies: Scholarship, Leadership, Citizenship, Character and Service. Each new inductee was then called upon to choose one of the characteristics that he/she associated most with and provide a brief speech on how it represented him/her.
The new inductees finally took the pledge of allegiance for the SHS before Arnab and were provided with a membership badge and card by their parents in order to officially be recognized as members of the Schutz Honor Societies. After the ceremony in the auditorium, everyone raced to the delicious annual ceremony cake and refreshments served by the Schutz kitchen staff outside of the auditorium. The ceremony was truly a success as every individual present at the event, whether he or she was a student, teacher or a parent, smiled energetically and felt proud. “I thought it was a lovely evening. The current members did a beautiful job with the ceremony. After I heard the speeches given by the new inductees, I am sure that Schutz will have a great group next year,” stated Kelly Marie Sullivan, the SHS Advisor.
