The stu dents were Daniel Hotch, Janice Gologergan, Carrie Whitford, Pau line N apolean, Ja n e l Thompson, Gloria Quiver, and Leah Thompson. WHAT IS HONOR SOCIETY Honor Society is a national organi zation which recognizes high school students for scholarships, leader ship, service and character. At Che mawa studen ts m ust have m ain tained at least a 3.3 grade average throughout 3l/2 years in order to be inducted. Each school varies on the basis of GPA requirements. Besides maintaining solid grades, students must have shown them selves to be interested in maintain ing a high GPA, displayed leader ship skills, and have helped staff, and other students, and people in the community. No one may apply; it is an honor for which one must be cho sen, e x p la in e d a d v is e r P e n n y Ueeck. This is a special honor and cere mony because it is one of the few national organizations which recog nizes young high schools students for their scholarship, leadership and service. It is the place, however, where and brains and skills must be tempered with character and re spect. CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY During an all school assembly the seven new members were inducted into Honor Society during a candle light ceremony used nationally for all such inductions. Mr. John, vice principal, began the cerem ony by explaining the overall event and congratulated the seven students on their consistent hard work. Mr. Jack Bighorn videotaped the event so that senior parents and guests may view it as a pre-gradua tion activity. Four staff m em bers then ex plained briefly the four areas that candidates are evaluated on and what each meant. After each expla nation candles symbolically repre senting the lamp of knowledge were lit and passed on to the new mem bers. SERVICE Cheryl Baily, business teacher, summarized service as the giving of one’s time and talents in ways that benefit others. It is a willingness, she explained, to work for others with out expecting financial or personal gain. It is rewarded, said Baily, in many unmeasureable ways. LEADERSHIP Sally Ritchie, student enterprise coordinator, defined leadership as a quality that communicates self-con fidence in leading others. Often it demands much sacrifice.

SCHOLARSHIP Scholarship, explained Kainie St. Paul from the attendance center, is a commitment to learning. It is de monstrating diligence and effort in all studies. CHARACTER Don Baily, a rt teacher, explained that this fourth quality distinguishes itself from the other three because it is the h ard est to define. It is a building of self-control, reliability, honestly, and sincerity; It is prac ticed by a consistent commitment of example, said Baily. INDUCTION After taking the pledge to uphold and maintain by example the four qualities of leadership, scholarship, service and character, each student was escorted by counselor Diane Mohr to light the lamp of knowledge. Mrs. Napier then took pictures of each inductee with vice-principal Ed John. Copies of these were sent home to each parent. Besides the public recognition and life long membership, each stu dent received a letter of commenda tion which was placed in his or her permanent folder. When job hunting or applying to colleges, this letter could serve as an overall character reference. The following highlights the seven new members of the National Honor Society: GLORIA QUIVER Gloria Quiver, Arapahoe from Wy oming, is currently a junior com pleting her second year at CIS.

Briggs is stu dent teacher Mrs. Skybird, a mem ber of an eastern Indian tribe. Skybird, a current student at Ore gon State College, is working on her MS degree in secondary education. She decided to do her student teach ing at Chemawa because “my inter est is in Indian education. My long range goal is to become certified and to teach Indian young people basic survival skills on our survi- val/spiritual camp which my hus band and I are working to establish. I hope to be able to teach Indian young people who come from the cities and the reservations basic survival skills of the land as well as reading and writing on our self-con tained land-based community.” When not preparing her biology and forestry classes, Skybird enjoys working in her garden, beading, canning, and making preparations for her first baby due in August. Skybird and her husband hope to eventually live off the land com pletely and become self-sufficent. While Skybird has been at Che mawa for only one quarter she has enjoyed her classes and counts this as one of her best experiences. She hopes, to complete her teaching re quirements and receive her degree and certification by 1985. When asked about problems she has encountered using her one word Indian name Skybird said that some organizations and people have prob lems accepting one word names be cause they don’t fit on computer forms, but despite the hassles and long explanations she still prefers her Indian name which is Skybird Woman. . Mrs. Skybird was born in New York but has been living in Corvallii for the last five years. SEATTLE HONOR TRIP As a way of rewarding the seven new inductees over $1,000 was ap propriated for a special trip to Seat tle. Mrs. Ueeck took the students on a three day vacation during the week of May 2-4 as a merit trip to show that studying does pay. Activities and sights covered dur ing the excursion included dinner at the Space Needle, shopping trips, a ferry ride to Bremerton, museum tours, and spending time around the piers of Seattle. On the return trip they were taken to th e Trojan Nu clear Power Plant. Ueeck stated that she thought Seattle offers a lot of “cultural op portunities and a real different ex perience. These kids don’t get to go many places.” MAKING THE GRADE Students are encouraged to set their goals high and take school and studying seriously.
