MCAIDIE MKII C MCIES Students Achieve Scholastic Awards What'd ya get? An 'E' l What luck ! lt's not luck. I worked for it ! Four days of the year are days of academic reckoning. At these times students who have done their assignments and studied for exams are rewarded for their efforts with good grades. Six seniors had perfect academic records, they made straight E's in all subjects for four years. In past years no more than one or two seniors achieved 4.0 averages. These six valedictorians, as did others in past years, left a scholastic legacy to future PHS students. Their legacy was the inspiration to excel academically and to grow intellectually. Michelle Kim, valedictorian in 1979, who is now attending Harvard, is one of these alumnig the memory of her numerous scholastic accomplishments will inspire PHS students for many years. Besides the six valedictorians, six seniors were named semi- finalists in the 1980 National Merit Test. The selection of David Loewe, Mark Lavelle, Robbin Smith, Mark Scott, Diane Sprake, and Dana Johnson was based on their scores on the PSATXNMSQT which they took in the fall of their junior year. College credits were earned by 131 academically-talented sen- iors. These credits in English composition, calculus, western civil- ization, and American history will be applied toward both high school and college graduation. Besides the contributions of outstanding PHS students and alumni, contributions to the academic legacy were made every day by PHS teachers. One teacher whose classes were particular- ly inspirational for students was Mr. Warren B. Hayes, a former geologist who taught college credit composition. Mr. Hayes taught at PHS from 1965 until his death in 1977. Pattonville was changed by his presence and now by his absence. by S.
