Editor's note: Last week the members of the Xational Honor Society who attend Rappahannock County High School were recognized at a dinner in their honor. The speaker was seventh grade science teacher Lynne Baines, who is resigning at the end of the school year after nearly 20 years as a teacher in Rappahannock. Her words seemed so appropriate to the honor students — and to all who strive for excellence — that we sought her permission to reprint them. She graciously agreed.
What does one say to such a beautiful and handsome group of individuals?
/ Most of you, with the exception of two—Daniel (’renters and Jennifer Fox, whom I met tonight—I have watched as you have grown up. It is indeed a privilege and an honor to be asked to speak to you tonight.
Most of you probably feel that you have heard enough of my "pearls of wisdom" while serving your time mthe seventh grade, but I do have a few more to share with you. Given your years of experience and having had "Philosophy According to Baines 101," you are now ready for “Philosophy According to Baines 202."
When you were in the seventh grade and subjected to "Philosophy According to Baines 101,” you heard things like “your rights end where another's begin"; "your name on your paper identifies the answers as yours—not someone else’s”; “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”; "keep your hands to yourself’; "put forth your best effort” and “you are at school to learn, not socialize!”
Well, the time has come for you to hear the rest of the story.
The fact that you are here tonight as a member of the National Honor Society or as a new inductee i indicates that you are a person who subscribes to the “Five Principles of Philosophy According to Baines 202.”
