Scholastic achievements also bring some esteem to a selected few. Scholarships are awarded to outstanding stu- dents in varied fields from different colleges and universities. The National Merit Scholarship program also provides an outlet from which students can compete for scholarships. Locally, the Sun Carnival Association provides competition for the cheerleaders, maiorettes, drum maiors, Pom Pon Girls, and Trooperettes. It has become a tradition to place high in this competition. This year Eastwood had the privilege of being recognized nationally by the National Council of Teachers of English.

Also recognized nationally and internationally was Shelley Phillips, who was one of the teen- age ambassadors from the United States to the Olympics in Mexico City.
