The proofs were handed out October 19 and 22, and representatives of Henington Studios were at school a week later to take orders for the portraits. They came back to school December 20 to hand them out and to collect the balance owed for the portraits. On December 12, Mr. Ed Shehane, a representative of Josten's,was at school to take orders for graduation invitations, senior keys, and memory books. Mr. Gary Johnson came to measure seniors for their caps and gowns on January 29. Also that day, seniors paid the graduation fee. It covered the cost of caps and gowns, diploma covers, and programs and decorations for the graduation ceremony. The 494 seniors rehearsed for gradua- tion Friday, May 23 at Barton Coliseum. They were all back at the Coliseum, along with their friends and relatives, by 8:00 for the cermony. As the seniors tossed up their caps at the close of the ceremony, they realized that they were beginning a new phase of life, and it was up to them to decide how they wanted to live it.

ix seniors received honors this year. Mitch Powell received the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion Good Citizen award. The recipient of this award must be a senior who will finish the second semester of the school year in an accredited public high school. Seniors nominated students who showed dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism for the award. The faculty then chose the winner. The National Merit Scholarship Program named Lori Dellinger, Susan Jones, Deanna King, Brett Rogers, and Lynne Stewart as finalists. They took the 1978 Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude TestfNational Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test CPSATfNMSQTJ and scored above the national norm to become semifinalists. To be selected finalists. they had to make an equivalent score on the Scholastic Aptitute Test CSATJ, be fully endorsed by the principal, and provide evidence of high academic performances and other outstanding accomplishments. The National Merit Scholarship Program and various other organizations con- sidered these students for scholar- ships. They announced the scholar- ship winners in April and May. 168 f Senior Honors lll0l' BCGIVB Award winner Mitch Powell stated, I think one thing that makes the people of McClellan so unique is that they don't try to put up any fronts. They act like themselves and are their own individuals. If there's one thing that can make you be a better person, it's learning to be yourself. This isn't always easy to do, but once you begin to do so, you'll find things will go a lot smoother? The main influence in Mitchis life has been Jesus Christ. According to him, anything that he has done is because of Jesus. Mitch plans to go to Ouachita Baptist University, major in education, and become a teacher. While teaching, he plans to be a pastor of a Baptist church and eventually become a fulltime pastor. Lori Dellinger plans to attend the University of Arkansas and she would like to own a business someday. She feels that her award has helped her realize what she can do if she tries. When asked what she would change about her high school years if she could change something, Lori replied, I would have taken more math classes from Mr. Cloud because he laughs at my jokes.
