Hollingshead, Welch, And Alai Receive High Honors While attending their four years at Edison, students were faced with a stress on academics. Those students who could maintain both a 4.0 G.P.A. and stay involved in extra-curricular activities at the same time, were eligi- ble to become Valedictorians in their Senior year. This year the Valedictori- ans were Jim Hollingshead, Deborah Welch, and Mir All. During my term at Edison, I have been presented with many challenges and opportunities, states Jim Holling- shead. Among his many activities were four years in the Kiwanis bowl, three years in volleyball, two years in both the Woodworking Club and the Aca- demic Decathlon. He has won Golden Key certificates in Science, Social Studies, Industrial Arts, Foreign Lan- guage, and Student Community ser- vice s; he also received medallions for Math and English. Being selected as one of the Vale- dictorians at Edison is certainly the highlight of my high school years, said Deborah Welch. She has been on both the J.V. and varsity diving teams, is a C.S.F. Seal Bearer, and is the cap- tain and choreographer of the Drill Team. She has also been an active member in the Spanish Honor Society, P.R.I. D.E. Club, and Senior Council. Other achievements include Golden Key Medallions for English and Com- munity Services, a certificate for the Bank of America Scholarship contest for Social Studies, and February Youth of the Month. Mir All was also chosen to represent the Class of ' 81 as a Valedictorian. Mir not only maintained a 4.0 G.P.A., but also accomplished many of his goals that he set for himself while attending Edison. Being undecided on which col- lege he will attend, Mir states, I would like to attend Harvard, Stanford, USC, or UCLA. Valedictorian Deborah Welch. 170 Valedictorians

Active Students Recognized In Youth Of The Month Program During their years at Edison, many seniors were involved in a variety of activities. It was for this reason that the Youth of the Month progrann was de- veloped. Interested seniors filled out applications concerning their activities, grades, and awards at the beginning of the first semester. Senate, House of Reps., and the Ski Club were just some of the many activities that seniors list- ed. They also had to write their grade point average and how many years they had belonged to C.S.F. Also to be added were extra honors and awards such as Golden Key and Who ' s Who Among American Students. Each month, two different seniors were cho- sen for this prestigious award by a se- lected committee. The Youths of the Month attended a luncheon and also went to that month ' s board meeting as a guest. The Youth of the Month pro- gram is a continuing tradition that help- eds to distinguish active students. Youths of the Year Dave Kory and Lisa Radako- vich (right) were also chosen to be the Septem- ber Youths of the tvlonth. 172 Youths of the Year
