Putting forth a little extra Honors were achieved by students who were willing to put in that little extra. A student must have attained a 95 or better average for the year to earn an honor letter. For each year following that the student kept that average he she earned bars. Good grades were not the only way to be honored. Students earned hon- ors through good citizenship and club work. DAR recipients were nomi- nated by the senior class then voted on by the faculty. This honor is chosen on good citizenship in the community, school and by excellence in the class- room.
