Although they were given the distinction of being the smallest class ever to graduate from Encinal High School, the ambitious class of 1969 was able to produce several members who, through their dili- gence and perseverence, were able to qualify for the many awards which are presented each year to outstanding members of the grad- uating class. Every member of the class was aware of the fact that he has a duty to fulfill for ‘his community as well as for him- self. Many of these students were quite successful in their en- deavors. These students were aptly rewarded. Fourteen of them received awards in their Junior year for outstanding achievement in academic subjects. They were: Michele Araujo, Foreign Lan- guage; Rolando Araujo, Arts; Alya Abdallah, Social Science; Teri Hayes, English; Cynthia Ng, Mathematics; Joyce Blankenship, Sci- ence; Lydia Narito, Business; and Steve Davis, Music. Four stu- dents were rewarded for their fine achievements in the field of Physical Education; Joan Pedersen, Barbara Bowman, David Wol- ter, and Bob McNeil. Recognition for their meritorious achievement in school athletics went to Larry Wayne and Royce Ford. Awards were also given for success in attempts to represent EHS away from home. Tex Corson and Joan Pedersen were chosen to represent Encinal at Boys’ and Girls’ State for the summer of 1968, Tex found his housing to be located at the California State Fair Grounds at Sacramento in an old cowbarn while Joan resided in a new deluxe dormitory at the Davis Campus. Two more repre- sentatives who went abroad were Bob McNeil and Larry Wayne who traveled to Ashland, Oregon, as the winners of the Christian Athletes Award. Each year the Bank of America presents awards to the seniors who they feel have met the requirements to be- come finalists in their annual contest. This year they were: Joyce Blankenship, Liberal Arts; Cynthia Ng, Science and Mathematics; and Lydia Narito, Vocational Arts. The DAR Good Citizen Award goes to the senior girl who has proven her capabilities as a leader in her school and community. Her success at volunteered jobs helps to qualify her for this award, as well as her sincerity and devoted- ness. This year the award was given to Joyce Blankenship who has had tremendous success in every leading position she has assumed for her school and community. | P.E.; Teri Hayes, English; Bob McNeil, Boys’ P.E.; Larry -letter winner in Sports; Joan Pedersen, Girls’ P.E.; and Music.
