F Getting Accustomed. . . To Making the Grade Honors were considered to be nominations, titles, and awards that were voted on or chosen through special selec- tion, or faculty review. Students who strived whole-heartedly were rewarded with a trust and responsibility that few of their peers enjoyed. Often the duties of these select few were difficult tasks that required ingenuity and initiative, and other were only time consuming. Honor Societies collected those students who excelled above and beyond the limit academically, scholarships honored those who were proficiently athletic, academic, or both, and Trailblazer was a title that engulfed all who had the ability to carry off excellence in all areas. Acquiring these honors helped special students stand out and be recognized by their peers and community. They came to know that to be successful you must start getting ac- customed to making the grade. .A i' Jennifer Pyle rehearses with the orchestra.
