THE 1946 PEP NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY No regular meetings have been held by the members of the National Honor Soci- ety and no officers have,been elected. Each member is anxiously awaiting the nomin- ation of its new members and the initiation into the Society, which will take place at our Last Chapel Exercises in June. Present members of the Society are Rosalie Jamison, Lloyd Dickson, James Fraser, Lee Burns, Beverly Curtis, and William Andrews. Probationary members are Margaret Anderson, Joyce Crossland, and Marion Dragoon. The faculty sponsor of the National Honor Society is Mr. Cobb. g SCIENCE CLUB Pres., Wm. Andrews ' J Sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Norton The Science Club, although the smallest in school, has contributed to the running expenses of the Student Assembly. This it accomplishes largely through the sale of ice cream and coke. Out of its own fifty per cent of profit, it buys useful and necessary scientific literature and equip- ment. At present it has a large unex- pended reserve which it is saving for equipment that has been scarce and high, but which soon should be available at reasonable prices and standard quality. Only students are eligible who are con- tinuing science four years. Election to membership depends not only on the above, but also on the acid test in charac- ter, dependability, scholarship in science, and devoted interest and service for all that makes M. H. S. a good school. Al- though the rewards of membership are more academic than social, we do take time off two or three times a year for gastronomic experiments in fun. The outstanding experiment in fun, food, and fellowship was held at Weld Inn last Autumn. Several chickens were dis- sected and embalmed with all the fixin's. New members were welcomed into the club after the feast. A second experiment, similar to the first, was done on roast turkey at Lan- caster's in Dixfield during the middle term. Although the banquet fell after the worst blizzard of the winter, only one member was absent. After each of the PAGE TWENTY-ONE above parties, the members went to the home of the sponsors and held an hour of fun. COMMERCIAL CLUB N The Commercial Club began its yearly activities and meetings in September. The ofiicers elected at the first meeting were Helena Carey, President, Rita Fournier, Vice President, Alfreda Smith, Secretary- Treasurer. Other members were Sophie Drakus and Vivian DesRoches. New mem- bers from the Junior and Senior classes were Georgina Deraspe, Joyce Caron, Ruth Carey, Dorothy Brown, Marian Dra- goon, Janet Legere, Dorothy Martin, and Marilyn Miller. The sponsor was Miss Alice Darrah, who later resigned, and her duties were taken over by Miss Ella Perry. Regular meetings were held every two weeks at the high school, where the future events and activities of the club were discussed. The initiation supper was held in the high school Home Economics room, where the new members were put through very strange antics. .- The Club sponsored the annual banquet for the football boys on November 10.5hThe affair was most successful due to' the whole-hearted co-operation of the entire student body, the faculty, and the tovgifisf- people.
