A bubbling personality and a contagiously happy smile are two of the trademarks which distinguishes one of the four juniors who are to be honored in this year's Who' Who, Sally Barnes, Sally's infectious enthusiasm has been recognized by the student body who elected her to the Baron cheerleading squad as a sophomore and chose her as one of only two juniors to be a varsity cheerleader this season. Since cheerleading is an A office, Sally was forced to resign her post as a junior Inner Council member this year and finds that much of her extra-curricular time is, in fact, taken up by attending athletic functions, performing and the strenuous practice sessions involved. An alter- nate to Student Council as a sophomore, she was chosen as a representative this year and is one of the most dependable and hard-working members of the council. Despite the demanding schedule which cheerleading imposes, Sally finds time to work on such projects as the Christmas card greeting to Viet Nam, decoration committees for Homecoming and Twirp Week, the Twirp Week planning committee and the city -wide Inner Council. Sally also volunteers her study hall this year to work as an activities office assistant. Cheerleading is the manor hobby which Sally is able to find time for. She intends to attend the University of New Mexico and become a dental hygienist. SALLY BARNES Junior One of the four juniors to receive the Who's Who recognition this year, Ric Thom is rapidly maturing into one of Manzano's most effective student leaders. In addition to taking an increasing vital part in student government, Ric is participating in the athletic program of the school as a member of the varsity basketball team. He will be expected to be one of the returning lettermen next year which will form the nucleus of the team. Holding, perhaps the second most influential post in the school, vice president of the Student Body, Ric has been an valuable assistant in the managing of the student body projects and the organization of student affairs. His grasp of the skills of student government were attested to by his having been nomi- nated by the central district of the state student councils to run for the office of state president. The prospects for the election which was to be held after press time were optimistic and the Manzano delegation hoped to have Ric serve as the state president next year. As vice president of the student body Ric was also an ex-officio member of the Inner Council and served as a chairman of various council activities. He also belonged to both M club and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. A unique hobby of collecting matchbook covers is coupled with an interest in water skiing and basketball. Hoping to attend Penn State, Ric plans an electronic engineering degree. RIC THOM Junior

fx ,L 2?X,y,,f,.Y,f-af... au., PAM HERIGODT Junior A lovely and poised lady and a superior student, Pam Herigodt has devoted most of her extra-curricular energies at Manzano to student govern- ment, music and the promotion of school spirit. A Baron cheerleader last year, Pam is one of only four juniors who were chosen for the Who's Who this year. She has been an Inner Council member both as a sophomore and as a junior, and she has assumed many responsibilities in the student Council functions. She was chairman of Student Council committees on Homecom- ing decorations, constitutions, and on the Christmas greetings to the other schools. She has represented Manzano at district and state student council meetings, at the Homecoming assemblies of other high schools, and at the Exchange day. She was one of the Manzano entrants in the Elks Youth Leadership Contest and was a Who's Who nominee as a sophomore. Work- ing for her class, Pam has collected dues and helped with many of their sales campaigns. She has also been one of the reliable workers on the decoration committees for virtually every project. She has been a member of the Modern Choir for two years and also participated in Speech club and French club. In the Pep club, where she is vice president, Pam was on the Powder Puff football team. All of these activities have not impaired her studies, however as she maintains an honor roll standing consistently and has frequently earned a 4. average. Pam, whose hobbies include swimming, singing and talking is considering the possibility of a math major with a minor in music. Although college is a year away, she may attend either Louisiana State University or Alabama State. A relaxed attitude and a slow grin identify junior class president Johnny Hill, one of the four juniors to receive the Who's Who recognitiori this year. As a sophomore, Johnny participated in both Baron football and wrestling, however, an injury cut short his wrestling and made it unfeasible for him to continue in the athletic program. Concentrating his energies on student government, then, he has, as class president, taken a major role in the planning, organization and accomplishment of all junior class projects. He will direct the junior class's major endeavor later this spring when the juniors host the seniors at the prom. An ex-officio member of Inner Council as class president, he must also assume responsibility for many of the council activi- ties and program. Working in the activities office during his study hall, Johnny was an efficient and willing assistant. In addition to his school activities, Johnny works as an orderly at a local rest home and his experience there has inspired him to contemplate a future career in medicine or nursing. Another career consideration at this point is aviation, and Johnny expects to attend the University of New Mexico. His service obligation is a matter of deep concern to Johnny and he is undecided as to whether he will fulfill it before or after college, however, he does hope to tour Southeast Asia in the military and as much of the rest of the world as possible. Outdoor activities appeal greatly to Johnny who lists fishing, hunting, and hiking as some of his favorite hobbies. He also enjoys bowling and is eager to develop a keener appreciation of the fine arts, in this pursuit, he enjoys attending good movies, plays and art shows. He also likes motorcycle and automobile races. JOHNNY HILL Junior
