The Youth Appreciation Award was given this year to six outstand- ing students: Seniors David Starnes and Tammy Casement; Juniors Kevin Dunlavy and Caroline Eudy; So- phomores Mike Tankersly and Karen Waite. The Youth Appreciation Award is sponsored by the Optimist Club. The teachers select six students, two from each grade, to show their appreciation to our youth. It is mainly an award for recognition. The students were picked in September and honored with a banquet in October where they were presented with a certificate and a plaque. The Daughters of the American Revolution this year awarded the DAR Good Citizen Award to Russell Neese and Tina Watson. The awards are given each year to the students who exhibit depen- dability, leadership, community ser- vice, and patriotism throughout high school. Tina and Russell were called into the office and the pins and certificates were awarded by two representatives from the DAR on December 10. These students deserve our congratulations on such an achievement. l-Kandy Knox 2-Julie Mullin s 3-David Starnes, Tammy Casement, Kevin Dunlavy.

Recognizing ' Special Kandy Knox is the winner of the Hugh O ' Brien Award, sponsored by the Hugh O ' Brien Foundation. This award is based on an application describing leadership ability. It is offered only to So- phomores. The winners of the award all over Arkansas will travel to Little Rock where two will be selected to travel to the Nationals in Dallas. We wish you luck, Kandy, on your venture to Little Rock. Every year four lucky juniors are chosen for Boy ' s and Girl ' s State. This year they were Russell Neese and Donny Beasley for Boys State, and Tina Watson and Tammy Casement for Girls State. They were chosen by the teachers at school. For one week they were taught about leadership, our government and even taught the second verse to the National Anthem. Representatives were chosen, two from both, to represent the State at the National Boys and Girls State. 168 This year ' s Miss Optimist is the pretty, talented, wonderful Julie Mullings. Miss Mullings was chosen to be Miss Optimist after a day of speeches and interviews in Searcy on October 18. Julie ' s speech was entitled What is my optimistic view of the future. After her speech Julie had a personal interview with the judges. Julie won a $50 U.S. Savings Bond and $25 in cash. From Searcy she also retains two very important mementos, a crown and her bouquet. Miss Mullings was sponsored by the Lake Hamilton Chapter of the Optimists Club and, as the winner, had her picture in the Club ' s newsletter. There was one last prize, a trip to Orlando, Florida, for the Op- timists International Convention this summer. Have fun.

A ' ' Sparkling- Smile Wins in Style!! The excitement, the anticipa- tion, and the new experiences of it all — The friends and the hurried rush — This all describes a typical beauty pageant! Throughout the past year we have had many girls from Lake Hamilton participate in a Beauty Pageant of some sort, either on local or state levels. We have had many winners emerge, and some hold several titles. Lake Hamilton is very proud; out of all the pageants held in Hot Springs in which a Lake Hamilton girl has participated, we have brought forth a winner. This just goes to show what winners we are. It takes lots of determination, lots of practice, and courage to get up and display yourself and your talents in front of a critical but loving crowd. Although it involves a risk of winning and losing, it ' s worth the rewards that are reaped. 1-Kim Slagle - Garland County Fair Queen and winner of District Talent Competition.
