55573 Keystone National Honor Society l r I Seated. Grace Davis, Louise Douglass. Standing. Thomas Wight, Natalie Harding. Perham Amsden. Mr. Rhoades. In 1925, Dirigo, the Crosby chapter of the National Honor Society was organized by Principal Charles Smith. Through the nine- teen years of its activity its high standards have made membership in this body a goal toward which to strive. Since it is the highest honor the school may confer, candidates are rigidly examined by the faculty on the basis of four character- istics, all of which must be met to qualify. They demand first that the student have a high scholastic rating, certified by being in the upper third of his class. Next he must show that during the four years of high school he has displayed a character which has been clean, honest, sincere, and dependableg leadership which has shown personality, high purpose, initiative and clear thinkingg and service which has been tireless, cheerful, loyal, and enthusiastic. On this basis five members were chosen under the sponsorship of Mr. Roger Rhoades, a member of the society elected in 1931. Those selected were Perham L. Amsden, Grace Davis, Louise Douglass, Natalie Harding, and Thomas Wight. Perham is active in dramatics, and was chosen alternate in the prize speaking contest from Crosby. Grace is treasurer of the student council, general manager of the magazine sales, and senior class reporter for The Keystone. She has been active in all sports and was chosen captain of the girls' basketball team. She received the highest award for excellence in bookkeeping, and also in shorthand. Louise is head student librarian, and has also served as treasurer of the senior class and secretary of the student council. She received an O.G.A. membership for ability in shorthand, and second award for excel- lence in bookkeeping. Natalie, who has served as the secretary of the Girls' Hi-Y and is vice-president this year, is secretary of the senior class and editor-in-chief of The Keystone. She is very active in dramatics and prize speaking, and her high scholastic standing has won her the position of valed- ictorian. Thomas is interested in dramatics, has taken part in several plays, and was stage manager in the student council play this year. He is salutatorian, treasurer of the English Club in his sophomore year, and class treasurer his junior year. With these accomplishments behind them, we feel sure that these students who achieved this honor will not fail to reach success in later life. Tirenly-si:

P When we inspect the rather prepossessing uniforms of our two smart midshipmen, we feel that we are leaving the cradle behind. Who are these dignified future ensigns? From left to right they are Midshipman Gilbert Bird, son of Dr. and Mrs. Mervyn Bird of Congress Street, Belfast and Midshipman Malcolm Carver, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Carver, Red Gables, Northport. At the end of their junior year they ended their careers at Crosby to await entrance to the Maine Maritime Academy in November, 1943. At this writing the boys are on a three months' cruise but their classmates are hoping they will be with the Class of 1944 when the diplomas are passed around. l Tzrcnly-five
