Several Eudora High School students and family members enjoyed dinner before 19 students were inducted into the Eudora Chapter of the National Honor Society. The ceremony took place Monday at Eudora Middle School.

Senior Charles Mersmann lights the green candle during the Eudora Chapter of the National Honor Society induction ceremony. The green candle represents scholarship. Scholarship is a commitment to learning. A student is willing to spend hours in reading and study, realizing the lasting benefits of a cultivated mind.
National Honor Society secretary Mary Cox lights the gold candle, which represents service. Willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without monetary compensation or without recognition, is the quality sought in membership. Members are committed to the idea of volunteering time and abilities to the creation of a better tomorrow.
Jessica Stewart lights the purple candle, which represents leadership. Leadership should exert a wholesome influence on the school. In taking the initiative in class and school activities, the real leader strives to train and aid others to attain the same objective.
Christina Pyle lights the red candle. The red candle represents character. Character is the force within each individual which distinguishes that person from others. It gives each one individuality. It is that without which no one can respect oneself, nor hope to attain the respect of others. It is the force of character which guides one through life and, when once developed, grows steadily. Character is achieved and not received. It is the product of constant action, daily striving to make the right choice.
Kellian Harrell lights the white candle. The white candle represents truth and knowledge. It is from this candle that each candidate lit their own white candle. The candidates signed the register, received their pin and membership certificate, and lit his or her candle, recognizing their membership to the Eudora High School Chapter of the National Honor Society.
Eudora High School senior Ashley Coffman was the first member inducted into the Eudora Chapter of the National Honor Society for 2007.
