DIRIGD DELEQATES Reverence The delegates who attended Dirigo last summer truly realized an unforgettable experience. The week was spent learning the importance of govern- ment activities and the part which an individual may play by participation in community activitiesr Innumerable friends were made at Dirigo, some of Whom we never shall forget. During the stay at Dirigo, each person is given the opportunity to meet' many prominent people from the state of Maine. Visitors this year were Senator Muskie, former Governor Reed, and Judge Archibald, not to mention numerous others. We hope that those who attend Dirigo in the future will find their week at Colby College or at the Univer- sity of Maine as meaningful to them as our week was to us. 77
