SCHOLARSHIP Scholarship is the most important part of high school life. Too often it does not receive sufficient recognition. In order to be an honor student one must have at least a 4.5 average. Giving each A five points, B four points, and C three points, a total of at least eighteen points would be needed to have such an average. Each six weeks an honor roll is composed of students achieving these ratings. Special merit is given for four A's or a 5.0 aver- age. Seniors who have nineteen points or a 4.75 average are qualified for the princi- pal's B list. Letters are given for the scholarship the same as are letters given for athletics. A scholarship banquet was held this year in honor of students who maintained at least a 4.0 or B average throughout the school year. Thirty-three pupils or about 41 per cent of the pupils enrolled had a 4.0 average and were guests at the scholar- ship banquet. This was an admirable rec- ord of which all of us should be proud. VALENTINE QUEEN On the night of February 14, the Student Council sponsored a Vaelntine Dance which was held in the school gymnasium. The gymnasium was decoraged with a beautiful red and white false ceiling with red and white streamers around the edge of the gymnasium. Tables and floor lamps were placed around the gymnasium. Doc I-lunt's orchestra furnished the music, Shirley Fronk was elected queen of the Valentine dance. Rose Wancket, Marilyn Nowers, Elaine Vanl-Iyfte, and Gretchen Johnson were her attendants. Shirley was crowned by Bill Price, the president of the Student Council. BOYS' STATE Louis Teerlinck was the boy chosen by the American Legion to represent the An- nawan Chapter at Boy's, State. The pur- pose of this program is to teach the youth of today constructive attitudes toward the American form of government. Louis Teerlinck, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Teerlinck, is a junior in Annawan- Alba Township High School. He was se- lected on the basis of his scholarship, lead- ership, and service. Louis has been active in many extra-acurricular activities. He has been an outstanding student ranking among the top third of his class. GIRLS' STATE The Legion Auxiliary each year chooses a girl who will have the privilege of going to Girl's State. The purposes of this pro- gram is similar to that of Boy's State-to learn the American form of government. Shirley Fronk, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fronk, will be the Annawan repre- sentative this year. Shirley is quiet and gtuciiious. She will retain much at Gii-l's a e.
