Mr. Panther crowned at pep assembly Derby Senior High had its an- nual Mr. Panther coronation on January 21 at an all-school pep assembly organized by the Panther Pack. The Mr. Panther contest was originally designed to give credit to outstanding male ath- letes who had received little recognition during the year. However, in the past couple of years the title has been ex- panded. In order to be a Mr. Panther candidate the male student had to be a senior, and he must have attained a 3.0 grade aver- age throughout his high school career. This year's Mr. Panther cere- mony honored Mike Templin. Mike received a special trophy and crown. Doyle Coons, sr.. and escort Terry Hill. sr.. wait for the announcement of the winner. Mike Templin. sr.. is the 1977 Mr. Panther. Mike was escorted by Connie Snodgrass, sr. The Mr. Panther candidates are recognized during the halftime of a basketball game.
