'The process is somewhat involved. Vhile still in California, I contacted a entleman in Pasedena about West Point. Ie gave me instructions and the moti- ation to try for an appointment. The rocess required me to send transcripts 'om high school, SAT scores, three :tters of recommendation, and a per- Jnal history. Once this was received y the Congressman, he looked it over nd arranged a meeting for me with ie special Academy selection committee. 'he committee questioned me for ap- roximately 25 minutes. Fortunately, I :ceived the nomination, and now have ie opportunity to be accepted. The reason I wanted to try this is ecause of what the Academy has to ffer. I'll have the opportunity to travel, 1eet people, and do things a regular allege could not offer me. West Point as a nine year obligationg you have :ur years of college, and five years 1 the regular Army. I also had a rother who attended and he said that lest Point is a unique experience nd very rewarding. Besides his classes Doug participated 1 several extra-curricular activities. While t CHS he lettered in tennis, took part 1Thespian productions, and debated. Naval Academy Nomination - Jim Stawick Upon' receiving an interview with men rom the Naval Academy, Jim Stawick vas nominated by 10th District Con- gressman Phil Sharp, to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, vlaryland. The idea that I might attend the Slaval Academy came through the ef- 'orts of one Richard Leitch, a very Jrominent figure in the community of New Castle. He started the idea with various letters to the Academy, mostly to the wrestling coach. It was followed up by my father, Gerald Stawick, who spent a lot of time setting up an in- terview with the men from the Academy. I was interviewed in Richmond, and fortunately, they returned a very favor- able report. Approximatley six weeks later, I received word that Phil Sharp, 10th District Congressman, had nomin- ated me to be accepted by the Naval Academy. Being accepted means a four year education at Annapolis, and also serving the United State Government for five years upon graduation. L.S. Ayres Art Show - Courier- Times Patio Show Once a year, around January 15, the Art room becomes immensely busy as students realize it is time for the L.S. Ayres Scholastic Art Awards Show in Indianapolis. The show is put on every year for high school and junior high school students all over Indiana. It is one of the main art high-lights of the year. Joe Durbin, Bryant Whitted, and Kent Odle were nominated for honor- able mentions and their work was dis- played later in February in the L.S. Ayres and Company Auditorium. Earlier in the year, several art stu- dents entered their work in the Courier- Times Art Patio Show, This year's show was judged much more strictly than those of the past. More work was not accepted due to the demands being a little higher. Winning first place monetary honor was Bryant Whitted, Alice Millis won a second and third monetary honor. The Patio Show was sponsored by the Henry County Art Association. Family Leader of Tomorrow - Kelly Woodward With all the emphasis on the Wo- men's Liberation movement, Kelly Wood- ward did his bit for the Men's Liberation movement. He became the first male to win the Betty Crocker Family Leader of Tomorrow title. I was totally surprised when I heard that I had won. I had been taking a lot of kidding about it. I don't think that my mother believed me when I picked her up from work. But she said if I could do that well on a homemaker's test, I ought to do better at home. Kelly became interested in this test mainly because it could lead towards a scholarship. Eleven boys took the test along with twenty-nine girls. He was named Family Leader of Tomorrow by scoring high in a written knowledge and attitude examination that was given to high school seniors throughout the country. Kelly received a certificate from General Mills, who sponsored the Betty Crocker Family Leader of Tomorrow test. State winners received a 51,500 college scholarship and the runnerups received a S500 scholarship. The state winner traveled to Washington D.C. for a tour and interview. The interviews determined the All-American Family Leader of Tomorrow who received a 55,000 college scholarship. The national interview was conducted by the Science Research Associates of Chicago. The local Betty Crocker test was conducted by two C.H.S. guidance counselors, Miss Evelyn Rentchler and Mrs. Ann Poer. The test covered areas such as finan- cial management, parenthood, social activities, and nutrition. ..,,,.f .... ,sry , .M-1 . 29
