Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Each of
these qualities was prevalent in each member inducted into the Paramus Catholic
chapter of the National Honor Society on December 3, 2014. To date, it
was the largest number of students inducted into the Paramus Catholic chapter
of the prestigious National Honor Society concluding with 136 inductees.
The ceremony began with a beautiful introductory prayer led by
our pastor, Father Donald Hummel. Followed by the pledge of allegiance
and a standard welcoming, the candle lighting ceremony began. This
ceremony included brief speeches by present officers of the Paladin chapter of
the National Honor Society and the lighting of a specific candle. The
four candles represented the light in each inductee that burns in the fields of
scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
Following the candle lighting, the induction ceremony took
place. Called one by one, each student was presented with an honorary
stole and the National Honor Society pin. As Mr. James P. Vail and Dr. Albert
Del Principio presented the stoles; Mr. Ralph Manno, Ms. Stella Scarano, and
Mr. Scott Langan presented the inductees with their pins.
At the conclusion of the induction ceremony, the inductees took
their pledge to uphold their exquisite characteristics and academic
perseverance. After a few closing speeches, the recently inducted
National Honor Society members processed out of the auditorium to the gymnasium
for refreshments with a musical accompaniment from Aleksander Piatek, DeAndre
Tomlinson, and Han Bin Baik.
