There are so many students who work hard during the year, but there were a few who worked just a little bit harder. For these students who endured long hours of study and sweat, there are many different rewards. One of the most prestigious honors that can be awarded is the STAR stu: dent award. This year’s STAR student was Amy Elmore and she chose Mrs. Mary Beth Henke as her STAR teacher. Amy's recognition was due to her ex- tremely high SAT score. Another award offered to Seniors is the Golden Eagle Award which was sponsored by the Macon Telegraph and News. The nominees from Northside were Mike Carter (Art), Regina Moore (Citizenship), Sherolyn Ford (Drama), Medgar Roberts (English), Jeff Jones (Foreign Language), Will Vinson (Indus- trial Vocation), Brian Lifsey (Journal- ism), Tammy Piceno (Math), Dottie Her books and her clarinet are very dear to the heart of Star Student, Amy Elmore. Being chosen as Star Teacher by Amy, Mrs. Henke is proud of the honor Hunt (Music), Gail Bird (Science), and Susan Fuller (Social Science). Medgar Roberts and Susan Fuller won an overall award for their outstanding accomplish: ments. Mike Carter and Sherolyn Ford won Honorable Mentions for their tal- ents. Finally, there is a program that gives attention to Sophomores and Juniors especially. The Governor's Honors Pro- gram is a six week session at Valdosta State College. The Program allows ex- ceptional students a chance for exten- sive study in their category. The areas of study range from Dance to Math. This year’s finalists were Ricky McClel- len — Math, Lisa Carlson — Science, and Phil Little — Drama. All of these students worked many years to develop the talents they were rewarded for. All that just goes to show that good things come to those who wait.

Northside was privileged to have as the banquet's guest speaker Mr. Mat- thew Arthur, who is the Superintendent of Schools in Houston County. Mr. Ar- thur gave an enlightening speech on the ingredients for success and carefully made his points. These ingredients are effort, luck and attitude. He concluded his speech by commending the honor students for a job welldone. The Top 5% Banquet was indeed an honor well-deserved by these industtri- ous students who reach for the top. The announcement was made of the 1987- 88 Valedictorian, who is Miss Tammy Lyn Piceno. Miss Amy Lynn Elmore is this year’s Salutatorian. Each year the Honors Banquet is sponsored by the Student Council of Northside High. The sponsor, Mrs. Bren- da Littlefield, and officers of the council were instrumental in seeing that every- thing went smoothly. The awards are presented by the administration of the school, Mr. Ed Dyson, Mrs. Charlotte Moore, and Mr. Alton Mattox. Awards that were presented were: let- ters for first year honorees, sweaters for second year honorees, and a gold bar for their academic sweater for third year honorees. Sonor Ma ACS the work
