The Smarties Light A Flame

Last night was the induction ceremony for National Junior Honor Society. Fancy dresses, everyone was prim and proper. Sam asked me to paint her toe nails to match her dress. Serious stuff.At the end of the ceremony, a candle was lit and then the flame was passed from member to member. All of the students then filed out while holding their burning torch.

Sam told me that during rehearsals, they were instructed to be on the lookout for girls with long hair that contained hairspray. Open flame, and all. Therefore, I closely watched the procession marching out in one long line. Each person was so focused on their own candle, that they didn't notice much around them. I kept waiting (excitedly, I might add) for someone to bump into the back of a long haired girl. I kinda thought it might be neat to see a 'baptism by fire' induction into the Society. But, I was disappointed. I guess this is proof why you have to be smart to be a member.

Just as a matter of record, I was never in the National Honor Society. Shocking, but true.
