French Honor Society welcomes inductees
April 7, 2016
Recently, the French Honor Society, or La Société Honoraire de Français, held their annual induction ceremony in the library.
The ceremony began with an address by Principal Dr. Randi Riesbeck, as well as remarks from sponsor and French teacher Margaret Beckner, who testified to the achievements of the new inductees.
Following seniors Sofia Schaff and Brendan Vachris’ description of the running of the torch, both in French and English, the inductees each lit a candle, passing the flame down the line.
After reciting the society’s motto in French and extinguishing their candles, the new members were awarded a pin and a certificate of membership from sponsor and French teacher Mary McMurran. They also received a kiss on each cheek, following the French tradition.
Current French Honor Society members junior Jessica Skye and seniors Ariana Ahmed and Brendan Vachris also prepared a musical performance for the ceremony.
