ATIU AL H0 011 OCIETY The purpose of the National Honor Society is to pay tribute to those boys and girls who are the real students and the leaders in our high schools. There are four standards which are the basic qualifications of this society - Charac- ter, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The National Honor Society was organized in our high school in 1937 and known as the Gilman High School Chapter. In 1949 the name was changed to the Mount Desert Chapter. Our school enrollment is so small that, since member- ship is based on a percentage basis of the total number of class enrollment we never have been able to have more than four members elected from any one class. One member is elected from the class in its junior year and three mem- bers during the senior year. In 1951 on Class Day of the commencement festivities the Mount Desert Chapter of National Honor Society made its first public appearance in the form of an initiation of its new members. An effective candle light service was used and William Kimball, of the class of 1951, but who had been initiated during the junior year, acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Charlotte Pressey and Miss Norma Drummond, former National Honor Society members, assisted in this program. Those initiated at this time were Ida Beale, Jean Graves, and Lillis Joy of the class of 1951. The junior member was Anne Foster, class of 1952. Those new members elected in 1952 are Norma Cousins, Sheila Graves, and Sylvia Leland. The junior member is Raymond Smith. LYMBURNER ELECTRIC CO.

The sweater program was voted out because of lack of money. Anne Foster, Marilyn Robinson, Frank Manchester, and Eleanor Reynolds represented the Mount Desert High Student Council at the state Student Council meeting in Portland on November Z9 - 30. They reported their information that was gathered at the meeting to the school in a Friday assembly. They should be congratulated for their accurate and highly informing reports.
