Oak Harbor High School Principal Dick Devlin has announced that Eric Chalfant and Jessica Chesnut have been named Commended Students in the 2004 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Although they will not continue in the 2004 competition for Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than one million students who entered the 2004 competition by taking the 2002 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

The regular program of the Coupeville Lions Club was set aside at its last meeting to allow time to remember a member and friend.

With the recent passing of Mickey Clark, the last remaining charter member of the Coupeville Club has departed. Only members of the group plus honored invited members of the Clark family were present. In the course of the evening members related experiences and events going back to their own childhoods, all connected to the many good things Mr. Clark had contributed to the community.

In addition to being one of those responsible for formation of the club that now serves so many functions in the community, Mr. Clark was well remembered for the never weakening desire to aid and encourage youth. Frequent events were recalled that served to demonstrate how this man had done so much for his town, and how his friendly demeanor and dedicated sincerity had done so much for so many people over the years that Coupeville, and its residents, grew.
