Academic Representatives Work for High GPF f I . tk K 1' A good attitude towards learning and a willingness to accept responsibility has given me the ability to do well in school. And this, as well as help from teachers and other peo- ple along the way, has given me academic suc- cess in my four years at Minot High. Mike Sheldon C Selection was based on GPA as of Jan. 1, 1983. I think academic suc- cess is probably due more to hard work than to innate ability. Although ability cer- tainly does help and can even make up for a lack of hard work for some people, success usually is not gained without at least a fair amount of work. Joyce Berkey I feel everyone is born with the ability to be smart. The way they are motivated by 'their family and friends determines their in- tellectuality. My father and mother gave me the incentive to get good grades. I feel that hard work is a major part, too. I think that because of my family's help and my hard work I was able to become a representative and now it all seems worth it. Mike Hulet l think enthusiasm plays a big part in get- ting good grades. If a person wants to learn and puts in a little hard work, he should suc- ceed. I've been lucky enough to have had a lot of good teachers that have made their classes fun as well as educational and parents who have shown me how impor- tant a good education is Karen Carlson

Students Define Leadership Qualitie .E i l 2 Leadership is a quali- ty which grows and becomes more refined through time and ex- perience. The characteristics that make up a good leader are not born within him but rather, develop through the years. ln order to lead well, one must learn self- discipline, organization, responsibility, and above all, have a desire to work for whatever he wishes to attain or accomplish. Julie Chu Courage is an impor- tant part of leadership. lt is a brave person who will state his position. A good leader goes in the best direction regardless of the direc- tion of the grain. He does this knowing it may draw criticism. The honor of leader- ship is not in prestige or recognition, but in leading well and doing a good job. Matt Coolidge I feel leadership is a special quality that everyone has within himself. A person just has to utilize that quali- ty. To excel at becom- ing a leader, one must be strong willed and very determined, but one of the most impor- tant things to take into consideration is what others believe in. A leader is one who understands the feel- ings of others and weighs the value of them in the final decision. Eric Svare ml-I -..-...J I feel leadership is a quality everybody can have if they have enough love for what they are doing. The qualities of a leader are developed through the years by supportive teachers, family, and other students. Self- discipline, enthusiasm, sensitivity, and ability to delegate responsibili- ty make being a leader something anyone can achieve. Becky Brooks
