THE BREEZE 37 enrolled in that course at the time they join. At Thanksgiving time the girls had a big dinner at the Home Economics Labor- atory. At Christmas time the F. H. A. chapter from Milo had a box of clothes and food which they all contributed gene- rously, and gave it to some needy family in Milo. In the future the girls are working for the convention at University of Maine for all F. H. A. members to be held in March. All F. H. A. girls had to write a theme on Electricity for a state contest. Some were sent in, those are the cnes who re- ceived the little Reddy Kilowatt pin. This group of girls helps out whenever help is necessary and are willing to pro- mote their time and efforts to anything that is asked of them, There are about 51 members in the club as of now and we hope that next year and the years to come will bring more girls to this organization. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Each year the faculty selects a small percentage of the junior and senior classes to become members of the National Honor Society. This is one of the most coveted honors one can receive during his high school years. These students are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. They are initiated into the society at a ceremony following the Baccalaureate Service. Following are the explanations of the terms scholarship, character, leadership, and service taken from the ritual of the society. Scholarship is a preparation for broader service to mankind. It inspires love of the beautiful and appreciation of the truth. Character is achieved--not received. It is compounded of all the finest mo-ral and spiritual qualities such as, gentleness, strength, cleanliness, fidelity, courage, faith, hope, and charity. It is the product of our daily thoughts, words, and deeds- daily forgiveness, unselfishness, courtesy. honor, self-control, and cc-nsideration for others. Leadership is thinking and acting for many. The leader is one who sees and does what is best for the group, the com- munity, or the state, with no thought of selfish gain or fame. Service is giving-not only of our means and time, but of ourselves: not only to our friends, but to our foes: not only to the hc-me, but to our community, for the love of praise, and love of fellowmen. Real service calls for sacrifice for an ideal for utter abnegation without material re- wards. Last year Flora Brown and Carl Hos- kins were chosen for membership in the society, and elected this year were Char- lene Kelley and Gail VanDyne Senic-rs: and Elaine Buck and Irving King from the Iunior Class.
