February was a busy month for most students with numerous awards received, performances giv- en, and campaigns waged. Senior Ronnie Uselton and American history teacher, Miss Pearl Butler, were named recipients of the Freedom Foundation Award. These two awards were given to outstanding patriotic persons in the United States. Only one other person in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area was so honored. Ronnie received his award for his speech, “Communism— Threat to Our Constitution,” at the American Legion Regional and Sectional contests last year. Miss Butler was selected for her outstanding work as a history teacher in Arlington schools. American Field Service Committees at AHS and Sam Houston honored area exchange students at a party held in the Epworth Methodist Church recreation hall on February 26. Nine countries: Italy, Greece, the Philippines, Thailand, South Viet Nam, Republic of South Africa, the Netherlands, England, and Sweden, were represented at the “dance-eat-’n-talk” get-together. Another activity that filled some AHSers’ time was the Teen Talent Follies sponsored by the Sun- down Kiwanis Club and held at the AHS audi- torium on February 17. Some of the students par- ticipating were singers Susan Hagard, Janis Love- lace, Pam Vandiver, Johny McNellie, “The Petite,” and the Mike Daugherty Trio; and dancers Mary Anne West, Paula Price, and Donna Thomas. Smiling as national winners of the Freedom Foundation Award are history teacher Miss Pearl Butler and senior Ronnie Uselton. Students Discover February Very Exciting If he doesn’t quit looking at her I might kick him!” thinks Linda LaBella of Mike Klietsch at an AFS party.
