VV HCYS IM AN KATHY Being honored is something which a lot of people look forward to. In this time of student numbers, I.D.'s, income taxes, computer tests and grades, we need to take time to honor those people who have excelled scholastically, in citizenship, and in leadership. Although it is impossible to cover every award, we have tried to represent each area of interest and education in CHS. OPTIMIST HONOREES - For 20 years the National Optimists have sponsored Youth Appreciation Week, honoring high school students on a qualitative as well as quantitative basis. Sixteen Chrysler High School stu- dents, chosen by department heads and vocational educators, represented each department for excellence in effort as well as achievement. All 16 honorees were honored together at a banquet at the First Christian Church.

The first step was being approved by a local selection committee through a series of interviews. My application was sent to New York at the first of November, and I learned that I was accepted at the end of February. I had no idea where I was to go, meaning that they can send you anywhere in the worldg Asia, South America, etc. I learned I was going to Germany at the end of May, and didn't find out my town or family until the middle ofJune. On June 27, 1975, I flew fron Indianapolis to JFK in New York. Once there, I attended an orientation camp at C.W. Post College. Next we were on our way to Copenhagen, Denmark arriving there at 3 a.m., We then founc ourselves heading to Hamburg, Germany for another orientation camp. The mair purpose of the camp was to teach hov to speak German. ' The first week was terrible, whicl is not uncommon among AFSers. M3 family was very nice and I love then very much. I found the kids over then very mature and at night we'd go tc parties or to the Disco, and a couplt of times we went bar-hopping. The trip wasn't a vacation, it wa an experience which changed me verj much. Here at home AFS hasn't stopped I became FORSCO president and I an a member of the local AFS chapter I still learn from my experience and suppose that I'll never stop learning from it. I enjoyed it. SPIRIT MAN - Tim Reeves Getting involved after taking it easy for two years of high school mad: it a bit more bearable and exciting Perhaps the best part of my senior yea' was playing the role of Spiritman. Al though my interpretation of Spiritmar was a little more conservative than thosn of the past fa reflection of the school? spiritj, the thought was still behind the job. I only tried to set an examplt the other students would follow, and sc that they would get involved in the game. I think I got what I expected fron high school. However, if I had to do i over again, I would try to do what 1 should have done, instead of what Q wanted to do. All in all, high schoo has been good to me and I am sure these three years will not soon be for otten S

The award was sponsored by the Sarah Winston Henry Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I had to take a test, after I was selected, which was judged on an area level, and I won. After this, I was judged again on a state level.

The music of State Fair '75 was com- prised of a downfield on Chant and .Iubilo with a middle composed of Girl Talk and My Favorite Things closing the show. They started a bit earlier this summer, and four solid weeks of marching drills and musical rehearsals prepared the Marching Trojans for two back to back performances at Delaware, where they received a second, and the Winchester Old Timers Festival where they won the competition. Taking ,a week of rest, the bands- men loaded up for a week of cramming and woodshedding at bandcamp at Marian College. After a few finishing touches, and a caravan to boost spirits, the band got all they could ask for, receiving a third at State Fair. World Affairs Institute Nancy Stine and Cathy Coffey were chosen to attend the 29th annual World Affairs Institute held in Cincinnati, Ohio. Approximately 1,000 students at- tended the conference, with speakers from all over the world. Held the first week- end in April, 1975, tours were given for the delegates, of universities, centers, and museums.

The purpose of the institute is for students to better understand factors and issues within another country or current international problems, and to realize how interdependent our world is.
