FACULTY AWARD The Faculty Award for General Excell- ence is designed to bring recognition to the outstanding member of the senior class. To determine the winner of this award, the facul ' y considers carefully the complete records of the pupils and the results of the student poll in which the pupils suggest ihoir ov n candidate. Hence the senior who receives the award mus! demonstrate to the faculty and to the student body that he possessses a marked degree of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship; that he is honest, kind, and friendly; and that his ideals are worthy. He must also show himself to be neat in ap- pearance, courteous in speech, and refined in manner. Avery Sheaffer has been awarded the Faculty Medal for General Excellence for the year 1942 and has, therefore, the privil- ege of holding the position of highest honor in this year ' s class.

SPDRTSMAIVSHIP AWARD This year the Sportsmanship Award, a Bulova wrist watch, courtesy of Nusbaum ' s Jewelry Store, was awarded to Emily Rice. The student body was given the opportun- ity of voting for the senior they thought rated highest in the traits of sportsmanship. The qualities that were enumerated as at- tributes of a good sport were fairmindedness, consideration, loyalty, respect, sincereity, courtesy, dependability, and the ability to get along with others. Taking into con- sideration the student vote, and carefully analyzing the way in which each senior had measured up to these standards of sports- manship in his four years of high school, the faculty chose Emily Rice as the one who possessses the highest degree of ex- cellence in all the traits enumerated above.

Once scampering freshmen growing up. To learn school ' s trials and joys; Progressing with the leaves each fall, Impatient, laughing girls and boys. Four years of friendships, work, now done; Lives rich, and much in store; Look back, and sigh, and courage draw These budding seniors - - now no more. And youth ' s full eagerness and pride, With courage in its scope. Sets forth on pathways marked careers, To triumph as a world ' s one hope. Janice Lewis
