Detours i .6 Several students were recog- nized as outstanding in their vari- ous fields: Sharel Love won the regional Hire the Handicap pos- ter contestg Gena Brown won the Alabama Music Teachers Asso- ciation Award and was lst Run- ner Up in the Miss Coosa Valley Contest, Alice Young qualified as a National Merit Commended Studentp Bryan Jackson qualified as a National Merit Scholarship finalist, the Football Team tied with Gaston and Oxford for the Best Sportsmanship Award given by the Northeast Alabama Refer- ees Association. Several notable guests visited us including alumnus Max Mat- thews Cclass of 19731, who sub- stituted for several teachers. In February, our American Field Service Exchange Students, Erik Larsen and Laurie Hodas, arrived from Scarsdale, New York for a two week sample of Southern hospitality, cornbread, and drawl with Ftay Wheeler and Mary Laurie Johnson, respec- tively. Ray and Mary Laurie later went across the Mason-Dixon line for a two week stay with Erik and Laurie. ln addition to finding new faces in the halls, we found lying about the school bobble socks, college brochures, and seventh graders with heads sore from the rapping of rings by juniors. CThese items were remnants of Fifties Day, College Day, and the arrival of the juniors' class rings, respectivelyj Finally, one of the very special events this year was our ten year re-evaluation by the Southern Association for Secondary Schools and Colleges. Dr. Edna Earl Mullins and her panel of dis- tinguished teachers from schools and colleges around the state sat in on classes, inspected facilities, and talked with teachers and stu- dents for three days in Novem- ber. The Committee found us to be in tip top shape: however, they did make several sugges- tions concerning expansion of the school's facilities. r 1 1 L FROM TOP LEFT.
