Senior honors. .. All-State football honors were given to Gary Anderson and Jack Jewsburyg An- derson also won the KQYX-KSYN outstanding football player award. Being an All-Stater is an honor l'll always remember. Everything about it was exciting-especially getting to represent the spirited stu- dent body of MHS iGary Ander- sonl . . . lt never would have been possible without the great spirit of MHS supporting me. l'll always re- member the honor and those who made it possible fJack Jewsburyj. Five senior boys and one senior girl, chosen by local civic clubs, respectively attended Missouri Boys' State at Warrensburg and Missouri Girls' State at Columbia. Their days started with 6 a.m. ex- ercise and ended with 10 p.m. vespers. Campaigning for offices, attending classes and making friends filled the busy summer weeks. lt was fantastic lBob Kel- lyl . . . The guys at Boys' State were something else fScott Bel- doni Boys' State was real enjoyable and helpful iRick Niel- sonl . . . Boys' State was a heck of a lot of fun lBob Kleinl. Who's Who Among American High School Students, an annual publication honoring outstanding students throughout the nation, listed five MHS seniors who placed high on the National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test. Comments about the publication ranged from lt's a great honor to I guess it's neat but who reads it? One com- ment about the merit test was National Merit is good, but I think there should be two tests given to help the kids who had a bad day the first time fMarc Aldridgel. The Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen was cho- sen for her dependability, service, leadership, patriotism and other DAR established criteria. I was surprised I won when Mr. Brill told me about it at a basketball game. I hadn't heard anything about it before that fDianne Critesl. 66 ei ' 6. f If te- 2 5 ni'
