President W. Taylor V. President G. Dunivan Secretary M. DiPompo Treasurer M. Flagg ational Honor Society Two of the officers, Bill Taylor and Marietta Flagg, were representatives to the regional Na- tional Honor Society meeting held in East Corinth. Other activities of this Society have included some very successful food sales and various other money raising activities. As the Society still sup- ports the 12-year-old Brazilian boy, Geraldo Luis Rodrigues, the money was badly needed and wisely spent. We sent a Christmas gift with a card at Christmas. We again entertained the teachers at the fourth annual Teachers Christmas Tea. The highlight of the tea was the arrival of Santa Claus with his bag of joke gifts for the teachers. This year the National Honor Society has insti- tuted a tutorial service. Through this service stu- dents who need help in certain areas can obtain it from National Honor Society members who have volunteered for that particular subject. Sitting: A. Anderson, R. Dunton, D.

Boys' and Girls' State delegates are chosen on the following qualifications: leadership, character and honesty, physical fit- ness, scholarship fupper half of classj, and cooperativeness. Delegates are sponsored by a unit of the American Legion or any other civic group. The delegates attend Dirigo State for one week and upon their return, they are expected to appear before their sponsoring organization and the local American Legion Unit to report their impressions of Dirigo, Boys' and Girls' State is a time of learning. Members learn of their duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities as American citizens. They learn how their government functions and they also have the opportunity to live together as self-governing cit- izens. At both States the week is filled with speakers, assemblies, town meetings, party Caucuses and elections. Each party nomi- nates a candidate for the office of governor and the night be- fore the final election each party holds a rally. These rallies in- clude party cheers, songs, and a speech from the gubernatorial candidate. In addition to the lectures and other governmental activities, the boys participated in athletic competitions and were tested daily on different aspects of government. The winning town in each division earned the privilege of eating first at breakfast, lunch, and dinner respectively. Last summer was the 50th Anniversary of Dirigo Girls' State. For the first time in Girls' State history, a Negro, Miss Debbie Gillspie, won the governorship. Graduation is particularly meaningful and impressive because of the candle light cere- mony. A girl from each town lit a candle while a short poem describing the town was read. Dirigo State is an experience that will not be forgotten. The friends, acquaintances, impressions, and the knowledge of each student acquired during the week will stay with him or her forever.
