Student of the Month Presentation:  Carroll Bowser and Heather Gagnon introduced
    our Students of the Month in Social Studies.  They are -
    Lyme/Old Lyme:  Principal Tony Carrana presented senior Nick Walker who has 
    a lot of school spirit and is always there to help in any way he can.  He'll take on 
    projects from start to finish.  As well as being an outstanding student, he's Captain of 
    the track team and an All-State Runner.  He hopes to attend Bowdoin College and 
    follow his interest in history and creative writing.  We wish him well!
    Westbrook:  Principal Bob Hale presented senior Mike Honan.  Mike was a recent 
    representative to Boy's State.  He plays trombone in the band and is the chorus.  He's
    also on the track and soccer teams and is in the National Honor Society.  His interest 
    in history has focused on post WWll wars such as Korea and especially Vietnam, 
    which aren't covered very well in our current history curriculum.  Besides history he 
    has interests in business and economics.  He's not sure what he'll major in, in 
    college, but we're sure he'll do well in whatever field of study he embarks on.
    Old Saybrook:  Vice Principal Tara Winch presented Katy Beezer, a junior this 
    year.  She's active in field and track and the performing arts.  She's also doing very
    well in a very difficult honors class.  She's very interested in government & civics 
    and is fascinated with Washington, DC.  She's been there several times it seems.
    She'll probably pursue a course of study when she enters college that will follow 
    these interests.  (besides her parents this morning, her grandmother was in 
    attendance at our meeting.)
