- , , 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.

Libr 'Z . ,, 'Q' ,, 'Wat Scoring the most points on a written homemaking exam earned for Doris Berry the title of Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Arthur Cannon, Richard Wilson, Sandra DeArmond, Jamesy Anderson, and Patricia Black meet at least once a month with their sponsor, Mr. Honorees Profit From Involvement Invading all phases of student life was a keen competitive spirit. This pride of accomplishment resulted in the winning of many honors by Austin-East students. A parade of winners began with selection of an honorary mayor and judge. While newspapers reported college takeovers, these two boys competed in a city-wide contest for a mayor and a judge to actually Ntake over local government for a day. With boys in full control of things downtown, girls concentrated on power at the home front. Senior girls took an exam based on homemaking aptitude to select Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Before tackling the big job of homemaker, some career- minded girls decided to take a fling at the fashion world. Sears and Millers chose two to serve on fashion boards, thus assuring the girls of places on a best dressed list. But behind free clothes and cosmetics were hours of modeling, selling, and serving as chief flunky during Christmas rush. Other students found a niche in the fashion world when they were chosen for an Avon Advisory Panel. Each month they answered a ques- tionnaire on teen-age problems, and they nominated a boy and girl to model in Avon's good grooming posters. After clippings of National Achievement Scholars have yellowed, and mementos of DAR Citizenship Awards have fallen off bedroom bulletin boards, these students will still profit from having taken time to get involved.
