WARDS Students recognized for achievements They're into the honor graduates now, thought the senior, as another list of students was read, I wonder what my rank will be. This thought could have gone through the head of anyone at the 1986 Awards Day Ceremony. Although awards day is mainly intended to honor outstanding seniors, sever- al underclassmen were also recognized. One award was given to Senior Bao Phan. He received the American Scholar Award given by American Airlines. He traveled to Washington, D.C. with about 100 people from Dallas-Fort Worth. As Bao said, The trip was fairly educational - we got to see all the sights in Washington D.C. Another recognition was given to 10 juniors who were recognized as high scorers in the 1987 National Merit Scholar- ship competition. The only standing ova- tion of the day occurred when graduate Andrew Richardson received an ap- pointment to the United States Air Force Academy-a scholarship valued at about S160,000. Senior David Stewart said, We all stood up and gave Andy a stand- ing ovation. My mother was so impressed that now she wants me to go to the Air Force Academy. The traditional climax to the Awards Day ceremony was the announcement of the valedictorian and salu- tatorian. This year, howev- er, there was a different twist. For the first time in the school's history, North Garland had co-valedicto- rians, Allison Heo and Thy Dinh both earned grade point average of 15.666 over their four years. The senior finally heard his name. He walked up and joined the other honor graduates, knowing that his future was secure. AT THE AWARDS DAY ceremo- ny, Col. Billy F. Smith, USAF lRet.J awards graduate Andrew Richardson with an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. The appointment was valued at S160,000. AWARDS DAY
