lVlcClintock ls- Honors Both l.arge, SmallAwards Reward Diligent Students ears of athletic training, grinding at the library for that and those grueling hours of interviews earned rewards for some students. Honors ranged from spending six weeks in Flegensburg or Skopje, to receiving rewards as seemingly trite as a document or certificate. But the value of these patches and tassels did not lie with its material worth, but rather in the pride of the owner for his certain accomplishments. For many, the senior year offered recognition not previously available. Whether an athlete's picture hung in the old gym as a part of the Athletic Hall of Fame, or an outstanding student's name became one of the National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists, these students exemplified the distinction between mediocre and superior while serving as models for the underclassmen. But underclassmen had the opportunity to excel as well. The chosen few served as class attendants at the Christmas Dance and the Coronation Ball, while others may simply have seen their names on the honor list for the first time. For the truly dedicated, honors were a small way to acknowledge the time and effort required in achieving those distinctions.

OUTSIDE HO GRS Students Reap Share of Community Honors Because of dedication and personal excellence, six Mc- Clintock seniors received various distinctions and honors that they achieved outside of school. Deedee Atsumi, Miriam Huish, Kim Patterson, and Kerynne Porter participated in the annual Tempe Junior Miss pageant held in January. In the pageant, spon- sored by the Tempe Jaycees, con- testants were judged on scholastic achievement, talent, poise and ap- pearance, physical fitness and a judge's interview. Patterson captured the local ti- tle which allowed her to compete on the state level. She received the distinction of being lst runner-up in the state and obtained a Simplicity scholarship. At the Tempe pageant, Atsumi became third runner-up and Porter receiv- ed a special award, Spirit of Junior Miss, which the 14 Tempe girls decided. I recommend it wholeheartedly to any senior girl. It was one of the neatest ex- periences of my life, reflected Porter. For the talent competition the four girls prepared individual 90- second performances that reflected their personal abilities. Patterson performed Pas de Quatre, a ballet dance, and Huish executed a tap dance routine. At- sumi used her talents as a violinist in playing Spanische Tanz, and Porter rendered the song Star- dust in French. Another honor that requi personality, poise and confide was the selection of Rotary exchange students. The i tional organization chose McCrary, Calla Jo and Deedee sumi to represent Tempe and nation in three foreign McCrary chose to live in Jo opted for Denmark, and A decided on Belgium as destination for the one-year stay The three seniors were to high school in their country and serve as youth ambassadors. siderations of academic leadership, personality and interviews served as the basis selecting the three.
