Clifford Bradford GOOD CI TI ZENSHIP DELEGA TE In March of 1968 the members of the faculty se- lected our Good Citizenship Representative, Derek Belcher. As a result of his having received this honor, Derek took a Week-long, historical tour. He visited the colonial settlements of Jamestown and Williamsburg where he saw the House of Burgesses, the Governor's Palace, and other sites of interest. He also visited Washington D.C. where he toured our Nation's Capital, the White House, and the Washington Monument. While he was in Washing- ton, Derek talked with all of the Congressmen from Alabama. Derek feels that the tour, spon- sored by the BIRMINGHAM NEWS and other groups in Jefferson County, gave him a deeper in- sight into our government. UPTIMIST CL UB NOMINEE Clifford Bradford was honored this year by the Optomist Club at its annual banquet. Competing with representatives from every school in Jefferson County, Clifford was presented a first alternate standing for a four year scholarship to Samford University. If the Winner is unable to utilize the scholarship, Clifford will assume the ownership. Derek Belcher 'I 3
