This year at the end of seven semesters the senior boy and girl having the highest grade average were, as seen in the upper left hand picture, Tom Meelc and Teddy Zerr. Each year at the fall Band Booster Blowout a king and a queen are chosen and crowned to preside over the evening's events. Last fall the ones chosen, as seen in the lower left hand picture, were King Rusty McMillan and Queen Carole Ulrey. As the sectional toumey approaches each year everyone guesses whom the Student Council will chose to be Mr. and Miss Henry County candidates for our school. The county winner is drawn at the dance following the final game. The candidates, as seen in the lower right hand picture, were Dee Ellen Haase and Larry Collins. 20
