The National Honor Society at Lincoln Community High School has more than 60 members. Membership is not something one gains easily. Each student has to meet some very rigid criteria, so it serves as a real testament to the kind of students and faculty as well that we find in our Logan County schools.

Early in the week the NHS met with media, along with Roy Logan of the Lincoln Park District. They talked about a windfall they had received from Verallia-St. Gobain and how they decided to use the money to introduce younger students to the National Honor Society and at the same time have some fun.

The laser game session lasted for approximately two hours, with several junior high students coming in to play. In addition, some of the NHS members got in the game, too.

Before playing, kids had to learn the rules: No running; be careful with the equipment; and of course, have fun!


The kids are taken inside the totally dark arena by an adult.

 

Inside it is totally dark in some areas, momentarily lit by strobes in others.

There are black lights that help show door openings and also lit up some of the clothing kids were wearing.
 

The outlines of the windows in the walls help demonstrate the number of rooms in the maze-like setting.

No lights on the chest gear. He's done.
 

 


At the end of the six minutes, kids are taken back out by crew members.


The guys check out their results.  Wonder how Priest did this time?
