Lynn Classical High School inducted four seniors and forty-four juniors into its Mary Bemis Chapter of the National Honor Society on May 18th. We were honored to have Dr. Mary Bemis, for whom our chapter is named, in the audience. Dr. Bemis was a chemistry teacher, science department head and guidance counselor over a span of many dedicated years on the Lynn Classical High faculty. One of her protégés, Mr. William Mahoney was the keynote speaker. He is a Classical alumni, Harvard graduate and former guidance counselor on our staff. Dr. Catherine Latham, our Superintendent of Schools also gave an inspirational speech. Concluding the speeches, our principal, Mr. Gene Constantino, had some proud words of advice for the inductees.
President Pantelis Thomadis presided over the ceremony and lit the candle of scholarship. Cristian Lopez led the Pledge of Allegiance. Juliana Davis and Mekeyla Faulkner sang the National Anthem with great feeling. Vice-President Theary Sokhom lit the candle of service. Secretary Lizet Medina lit the candle of leadership and Publicity Chairperson Courtney Speropolous lit the character candle. The forty-eight new members were inducted and the sixty-five senior members received the gold cords that they will wear on graduation day.
Mr. Paul Stafford, President of the Classical Alumni and Friends was in the audience along with many parents, administrators, teachers and guidance counselors from the school. The Alumni and Friends was most generous to host refreshments for the 300 attendees.

The Mary Bemis Chapter of the National Honor Society has been familiar to everyone in the NHS, but it was a special treat to actually have her attend the ceremonies this year. Mary Bemis was a wonderful teacher in Lynn until she had to retire due to an auto accident about 25 years ago.
