Mission accomplished. Valedictorian Valedictorian — the most distinguished award a student may achieve — was earned in the class of 1956 by Alan Allison. Thoughtful and stimulating opinions were typical of Al as his intellectual capacity was evidenced even in ordinary conversation. His scholarship achievements earned Alan a place in the National Honor Society. Hi-Y was one of Alan's extra-curricular interests. His ability at organization was apparent at Homecoming as he headed the pin committee. Salutatorian Second highest scholastic award, salutatorian, was awarded to Judy Scott for her outstanding academic achievement. A little figure with a tall white hat marching down the field and leading the band is an example of Judy's varied interests. Her well-rounded abilities earned her a place in the National Honor Society, the presidency of Spanish Club, and a section editorship on the Whigrean. Her long list of activities combined with intellectual ability made Judy a natural leader. -12- Well-earned relaxation.
