Ralph Woodward received a scholarship of the highest honor from the University of Illinois. Jill Eastmond was presented an award for six years of outstand- ing scholarship. Neal Whiteford received recognition for his nomi- nation to the United States Merchant Marines Academy. To give fair representation to the indi- vidual achievements of all students would take several pages. Because of this a special Senior Achievements section is found on pages 116-117. Here one can find mention of the Scholastic Awards and the Department Achievement and Service Awards. Spencer Grow presented Mary Ellen Peterson with a Utah Savings and Loan Association Scholarship. Reid Acord and Claudia Coleman received scholarships to Utah State University and the College of Southern Utah for their scholastic achievements. 19
