Sara Ford receives the Honor Society robe from Robing Gilliam after being tapped by Helen Youngblood. FIVE Share Top Honon Another first for HHS came with the announcement of Tri- Valedictorians an dCo- Salutatorians. The use of two systems to determine the class ranking backfired when the usual one valedictorian became three. One system gave the person with the most quality points the honor. The other system gave the person with the highest quality point average the honor. Finally after checking and rechecking, Michael Blythe, Sarah Ford, and Pat Stump became tri-valedictorians. Jay Gould and Michael Hayes became co-salutatorians. None of the top five were chronic studiers. Michael Blythe spent his spare time playing football and basketball. Sarah participated in church and Tri-Hi- Y activities and was business manager of the Kaleidoscope. Co¬ editing the Kaleidoscope and working with the SAE FTA occupied Pat ' s time.
