STUDENT COUNCIL JOHN HILLIARD PETTEY Not enough can be said about John. He succeeds in every- thing he attempts. In his Senior year his school gave him the greatest honor possible by electing him president of the Stu- dent Council, in which he has worked to raise the standards of the council tremendously. Also an excellent student, he is a member of the National Honor Society. John has received recognition in tennis by capturing the city singles championship in 1966. Outside school he has been active in the Junior Achievement program and is president of his company. His fellow Seniors voted him Most Likely to Succeed; we are all waiting for him to run for President of the United States. WALTER PAYNE SPRUNT III Walter can rightly brag about his being the Best All- Around Senior. He has lettered in three sports each year since he was a Sophomore. As co-captain of the football team, he has been called by Coach Rudolph one of the most dependable players in years, playing both offense and defense. Wally is a starter on the basketball team, displaying his superior defensive ability, and he is captain of the track team. For the last three years he has served on the Student Council. A member of the National Honor Society, Walter has been at the top of his class since he came to MUS in the eighth grade. MINOR CHARLES VERNON Minor has only been at MUS for three years, but in that time he has made his name well known among the student body. When he came here in the tenth grade, he fitted in marvelously. The next year he was elected the Junior class representative to the Student Council and was re-elected his Senior year. He has shown his outstanding leadership qualities during these two years of service. This year he was also chosen as one of the four boy cheerleaders. In sports, Minor has run track for two years, and Coach Peters says he is a fine sprinter. This year he was chosen as Most Popular in the Senior class. 24

Each annual is a special book for the graduating class. This senior section was put together so that the seniors can remember each other better, and that they will leave the school more than just their names. This section, assembled by John Callison, attempts to show not only the comical, but al- so the serious side of each member of the class of 1967. seniors 23

HONOR COUNCIL Crawford Mcdonald, jr. Ford is the most honest person in school, or so his class thinks. Ford has been on the Honor Council for three years, and this year he was honored by being elected President of the Honor Council. Last year Ford was Features Editor on the Annu al and was chosen for Quill and Scroll. He has also been active in sports. For three years he has played basketball, and this year he is a varsity starter. Ford has also been one of the top players on the varsity tennis team for four years, and this year he tried his hand at cross country. Ford has also been active in clubs, being a member of both the Pep Club and the Hunting and Fishing Club. RAY EDGAR HIGGINS, JR. Ray was chosen Friendliest this year, perhaps because of his association with Ginny Stevens. He has served on the Honor Council since his Freshman year, and this year he was chosen vice-president. Besides this he was secretary of the Student Council. Ray ' s athletic achievements have been in track and cross country, and this year, as co-captain of the cross country team, he broke the existing school record for the cross country run. RANDOLPH THOMAS WELLFORD Randy is without a doubt one of the most popular students at MUS, and he is always among friends, Since the eighth grade, when he first met Coach Peters, Randy ' s athletic ability has been devoted to track and the cross country team. This year, as co-captain of both teams, he was a vital part of J err y and the Pacemakers. Randy was elected the Senior class rep- resentative to the Student Council, and he has put forth a first rate effort in making the council successful this year. 25
