' The names of two members of the Class of 1946 will soon join the roster of great names engraved on the coveted Leadership Trophy. This loving cup, presented to Greeley High School by Hubert D. Eldridge, then Superin- tendent of the Greeley schools, has been engraved with names of the two outstanding students of each class since l938. The Spud takes great pleasure in presenting on the following pages Merle Riggs and Mary lse, who have been chosen by their fellow students as the leaders of Greeley High for the year i945-46. Recipients of the Leadership Trophy are chosen on the basis of scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service. Merle and Mary have proven them- selves to be tops in all of these qualifications. Merle, besides being President of the Associated Student Body of Greeley High, has participated during his three years in football, wrestling, track, and baseball, was president cf the Junior Class, a member of Thespians, and formerly president of the Youth Center. Mary, too has done much for her school. During her stay at G.H.S. She was secretary of Student Council, a member of the Youth Commission, and Thespians, on the High Light editorial board, and was recently chosen D.A.R. Good Citizen for this year. P Greeley High is proud of their leaders, and the Spud congratulates Merle and Mary on their honors. lt is not always those who are elected to High offices who deserve all the credit for their contributions. There are many who have done much for Greeley High but have received little or no acknowledgment of their efforts. There are many students at GHS who have devoted hours of their time for the good of Greeley High and who have been willing to give up even their leisure hours that some job might be done. These students have proven themselves leaders for they have worked for the betterment of the school and not for personal glory alone. For this reason, the Spud has chosen to honor a group of people who have done their best to make Greeley High a better place. In the field of sports there are also leaders who should be mentioned, for they have proved themselves to be outstanding in the sports in which they participated. Three such athletes who have been honored were Bill Biedermann, who was presented with the Quarterback Club award as the Outstanding Football Player, Tom Hancock, who received the CSCE trophy for being chosen the Outstandinq Wrestler in the State meet, and .lake Miller, the recipient of the Quarterback Club Outstanding Basketball Player trophy. These sports enthusiasts won their hcnors through sportsmanship, ability, and willingness to train. On Orange and Black Day GHS honors the class whose members have been the best citizens of their school for the year. This honor is a measure of group accomplishment--an evaluaticn of how well we work together as a small society.
