VALEDICTORIAN - SALUTATORIAN ayne, Laura best of bunch Keeping top grades while involved in activities By Rusty Biles We've all heard the saying. Nice guys finish last. Well, when it comes to Wayne Trimble the phrase is ultimately confusing, If there were an America's Boy Contest, Wayne would probably come in second behind Supermans son or some other super hero. As a matter of fact, Wayne was given an apple pie and a baseball at the journalism banquet for his patriotic style. Although Wayne was a nice guy, he finished first in the grade point computations and was named Valedictorian with his 4.0 average. Besides maintaining his straight A average, with 55 A-Ps. Wayne was President of the Art Club, the German Club, and the National Honor Society. He was also editor of the yearbook, head photographer, and drama club member. He was also vice-president of the youth choir, in the pup- is P CWS! Valedictorian Wayne Trimble applauds an award winner at the Recognition Assembly. pet ministry, and on the softball team at Llniver- sity Baptist Church. ls this guy outgoing or is this guy outgoing!!! lt's enough to keep me busy, Wayne added.

Ile was also honored by Northeast Opti- mist during Youth Appreciation Week, selected to Whos Who in American High School Stu- dents and voted Senior ofthe Month in February by Mid-Cities Daily News.

Waynes total earnings amounted I0 53,171 Laura Greenfield had a close race with Wayne when their grades were being computed, Since five seniors had a 4.0 average, they had to count the A+'s, and Wayne wiped the sweat off of his brow when Laura scored one less plus than him and had to settle for salutatorian, Like Wayne, Laura was very active in school affairs.

She was also active at St.john's Catholic Church and served on the Faith and Worship Committee.
