The Girls' and Boys' State pro- grams, sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion, involved a week of intensive study of New Hamp- shire governmental structure. High school juniors from all over the state were selected to attend the summer program, where they competed for poli- tical oliice and heard lectures by noteworthy speakers. The 1966 session was segre- gated, with the boys at Durham and the girls at New England College in Henniker. Humorous moments were provided by Charlie Choo-Choo, late nights, and that long wait in the chow line. The program succeeded in its purpose of creating a better understanding of political ma- chinery in the future voters and was a memorable experience for those able to attend.

Drive through Concord, out Pleasant Street, past the hospital, and onto the campus of St. Paul's School. Thus began six weeks of a completely unique experience. Six Milford stu- dents underwent this ordeal in 19665 Phil Smith and John Rizzi in Concepts of Mathematics, Kathy Cotter and Dan Raymond in Modern European History, Susan Whitney and Bill Carter in German. These weeks were graced with such intellectual activities as writing term papers until one A.M., racing for the computer, and learning German drinking songs. There was amusement: square dances, a poetry reading, movies - in Russian, recitals on both the chapel organ and Paco's electric, plus an original symphony of six hundred Coke cans dumped down four flights of stairs. Oppor- tunities for recreation included swimming among the Lower Turkey Pond snap- pers, York versus Lancaster soccer matches, and fire extinguisher lights in the dorms. The best memories of St. Paul's are of the people. The masters were wonder- ful, and the interns melted away any hostility or shyness. It is, however, the one hundred and sixty fellow students that will be most remembered. Wherever a 5 ST. PAULS SCHOOI ADVANCED STUDII PROGRAM L Zahn B Bodwellg N. Mitiguy T Hoadleyg S.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY I The standards for the National Honor Society demand not only a high scho- lastic average but also demonstrated qualities of leadership, character, and service. To wear the pin symbolizing membership in the Society is a great honor. New members serve as ushers for graduation and class day. This year as a fund-raising project, members also sold refreshments at one of the major basketball games at the Milford Area School.
