The criteria for the University of Georgia Certificate of Merit is to maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or above throughout the junior year. The scholars who receive those certifi- cates also find themselves recipients of many invitations to attend various colleges scattered throughout Georgia and the surrounding states. During the summer of 1983 Jennie Ingram attended the Georgia Governor Honor's Program in Dahlonega, Ga. One of 600 participants, Jen- nie's schedule consisted of a four hour Social Studies ma- jor, a two-and-a-half hour drama minor, and various evening activities. Both a fun and learning experience, the agenda included various trips such as one to the MLK Cen- ter for Non-Violent Social Change. To the right are ad- ditional recipients of the Univ. of Georgia Certificate of Merit Award. To be chosen as a scholar by the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity is indeed a great honor for this is one of the most prestigious organiza- tions of its kind. Last year, two juniors re- ceived nominations for this honor from the educational fraternity. 26

JUNIOR- SENIOR PROM The prom is a very special occasion for both Juniors and Seniors. It is the time of year when young men and ladies put on their debonair tuxedoes and elegant gowns to dance the night away under romantically dimmed lights. However, the Junior and Senior prom is more than just a fully extravagant experience. It is the highlight of the final two years in high school, culminating in an evening whose memory will not soon be forgotten. 25
