- , , 7' 'sf 'H aried Student Honors Present Soaring sopranos, addled altos, and bellowing baritones were the order of the day as choir members auditioned for All State Choir. Pausing only for throat lozenges, these songsters rehearsed and rehearsed while awaiting their turns to try out. Tryouts were also temporarily a way of life for seniors who auditioned to be commencement speakers. As speeches were rewritten and redelivered, semi-finalists and finally the four speakers were chosen. Although tryouts were not necessary to get into the Hundred Mile Club, a great deal of running was required. With pride as much motivation as the trophies they received, physical fitness enthusiasts trotted through the minimum thirty-one laps each week. Physical fitness was also one of the four criteria used to select the Danforth I Dare Youl' Award winners. Other considerations were character, mental matu- rity, and social development. Running was a familiar word for another group of winners, too, although their references were to the running of the government. During the summer, Boys' State Representatives met at Cookeville and Girls' State Representatives assembled at Murfreesboro for study and practice sessions designed to impart a better understanding of the functions of a democratic republic. With honors just as varied as hair styles and hangups , student awards present a pleasing patchwork of progress.
