Each member of the faculty, with the above particular qualities of per- sonality growth in mind, submitted the names of five seniors who approached these characteristics. The senior advisors ther .Tallied these suggestions and with their own selections presented a list of names of eleven high rating students to a board of control. This board was composed of two student representa- tives and one faculty sponsor from each class except the senior. These nine committeemen shared their knowledge and experience on these students by evaluating each personal attribute according to the given score. After the nine scores were totalled, the four names with the highest scores were considered the most outstanding students in the class of l948. The eleven seniors who were first recognized as qualifying for this particular honor were: Evelyn Alves, Leah Buffington, Winnifred Boyer Day, Jimmy Foster, Delivan Gordon, Barbara Hansen, Phyllis McClaran, Ruth Myer, Harold Rogers, Melba Tharp, and Eddie Thiel. The four who held the highest scores from among these were: Harold Rogers, Melba Tharp, Jimmy Foster, and Phyllis McClaran.
