Vjvl' An eye for excellence was what all academically inclined CdS students had this year. Academics, not just be- ing grades, became a large part of the ives of many Corona students. Several scho- astic opportunities were available for determined students. Many academic-related activities took place out of school. The select few who were chosen for the honor- able Sister-City program became delegates to other countries based on good ambassador qualities as well as their splendid academic accomplishments in all areas. The NACEL Foreign Exchange program allowed three interested CdS students to experience the country of France. These students willingly traveled based on their academic success with the French language. The photo shown here is the famous MAX- IM'S, the World's Finest Restaurant, located in Paris. Nancy Hen- dricks, a highly-regarded senior, has participated in several academically- related activities. In the above picture, Nancy is broadening her horizons as well as enjoying herself in Washington D.C. Hendricks was the only Corona del Sol student to participate on the expense -paid John McCain trip to the capital. For one week she was able to observe governmental procedures and participate in educational activities with students from other states. The prestige of belonging to the National Honor Society is what all academically qualified future seniors look forward to. The honor- able induction ceremony took place last year and all qualified juniors were inducted by former members. This year, those new members were proud- ly recognized for their superior academic achievements and goals. Aca- demic aspects of our school seemed to have become more important over the past decade. Students are learning to take advantage of challenging opportunities through participation and leadership. Whether it be in or out of school activities, academically-related subjects have become an impor- tant aspect of many student's lives. From their experiences, these students have encountered new ideas and understandings and have related them enthusiasticall to their peers.

These summer trips prove to be exciting Girls and Boys State are a special program that were held at U Of A each summer. While there, delegates go to different seminars covering in- formation on our Government. The girls lived on a floor in the dorms with 30 other girls, and so did the boys. These 30 people made up your city. They then had city, state and county elections. They participated in politi- cal rallies. One of our own students here at Corona del Sol was chosen to go on the John McCain trip in Washington D.C. This lucky student was Nancy Hendricks. In order to get chosen to go she had to fill out an application which cov- achievements and her school involve- ment. She was then interviewed by a group of judges from the social studies department. Questions she was asked covered current events and why she wanted to go. She was also required to write an essay on what she thought she could learn in Washington D.C. While on the trip Nancy got to see the different Monuments. She saw the Senate and Congress in sessions and asked them questions. Girls and Boys state was a chance to meet students from all over the state. The Corona students who at- tended were: Kelly Torok, Katie Rob- erts, Nancy Hendricks, Steve Gilbert, Rick Parry and Steve Walker. ered information about her academic BOYS, GIRLS STA TEXACADEMICS 3l
