Brian Ranks First in Class The top graduate in the Class of 1977 was not much of a surprise since Brian Colwill and Keith McClellen had large leads for quite a while. When the duel ended the top two emerged. Brian served as President of the Latin and Sci- ence Clubs. He completed four years of Latin and became an active competitor in Latin meets. Brian played on the District winning Soccer team and was named Top Soccer Player in the district for 1977. Brian also displayed his multiple talents by acting as yearbook photographer. He completed his year with an excellent commencement address and a scholarship granted by Southern Methodist University. He also received the Elks Lodge Grant in Mes- quite.
