Five Bonny Eagle students selected for Boys State

Bonny Eagle High School students Ronahn Clarke, Wyatt Fowler, Trevor Hustus, Graham Munro-Ludders and Noah Oja have been selected by Standish Memorial Post 128 to attend the 69th annual American Legion Dirigo Boys State program to be held this year at Thomas College in Waterville during the week of June 19-23.

The purpose of Boys State is to provide Maine high school juniors with the opportunity to participate in a program that supplements their high school courses in government and its functions. In this activity, young men role-play as they learn to campaign for local, county and state offices and then organize and carry out the functions of the state government.

The students were nominated by BEHS faculty and selected by Post 128 because they have demonstrated above their peers the desired qualities of leadership, character, scholarship, loyalty and service to their school and community.

A special note of thanks to Brian McManus for contributing this year, and to the Standish Kiwanis, Norway Savings Bank and Past Commander and 1st Vice Commander Lou Stack for again contributing funds to sponsor these deserving young men.

The Daytime Players have an open-door policy. “We are a senior-ish theater. But we do not discriminate against the young. All performers, writers and technical people are welcome.” Walker says. He can be reached at walker8066@roadrunner.com.
