Presidential Classics In 1977 Howard College established the Presidential Classics, a scholarship program for the college’s co-ed students. The college was one of the first to establish such a program, and each year between eight and ten young women are selected to represent the college as a Classic. The Classics act as official hostesses at college functions, represent the district at community events, conduct tours of the campus, assist with recruiting and registration for fall and spring semesters, and represent the college at selected out-of-town events. There are several requirements for becoming a member of this prestigious group. The selection is based on both academic and extra-curricular activities. The Classics must maintain at least a ““B’’ average and carry a load of at least 15 hours each semester. A high academic average indicates a strong student whose studies will not suffer as a result of missing a few days because of an out- of-town trip. Each of the young women must have the recommendation of her high school counselor or principal. Gas 8 €Sy a ee a fs “y p84 oe % Beverly Wheeler Sher Blalack
