The two students who were chosen this year for best school spirit are Shirley Scott and Marvin Hor- ner. Both Shirley and Marvin have participated in many extra-curricular activities all during their high school years. Shirley was chosen assistant yell leader during her Junior year, and elected head yell leader during her Senior year. Her enthusiasm in the position of yell leader won much popularity for her among the students. She belongs to the National Honor Society, 15 Club, G.A.A., is secretary of the F.H.A , and is the Activities Editor of the annual. Shirley also took part in our class's Junior and Senior plays. Marvin too is deserving of the title Best School Spirit. He is a Letterman, a member of the Stu- dent Council, Blue Jackets Club, National Honor Society and is an officer of the Rifle Club. Marvin was in both the Senior and Junior plays. His friendly manner and magnetic personality have made him one of the most popular boys in Prescott High School. WJittiesl The two students chosen by this year’s student body as the wittiest in the school are Carolyn Marsh and Jim Harvey. Carolyn is well known for her part in the girls’ trio. Her wit has made her well liked by all and there is seldom a dull moment when she's around. She is a newswriter for the Badger and is the business man- ager of the Hassayamper. She is president of the local Quill and Scroll Club, and belongs to the Yellow Jackets, G.A.A., and National Honor Society. She displayed her great sense of humor when she played the detecatiff in a play presented in the '46 Sophomore assembly. She also kept the audience laugh- ing when she had the rollicking role of Rheba, the negro maid, in “You Can’t Take It With You. Jim is well known for his clever remarks which are liable to be heard any place around school, or wherever he happens to be. He lettered in football this year, and is on the varsity basketball team. He is also a member of the Student Council and is on the social committee. Jimmy's part in the Senior play, The Thirteenth Chair,” was not a star role, but he stole several scenes when he played the dumb and comical policeman.

Eoi a, 'anceri Pat Bast and Alfred McCoy were chosen as the best dancers of the Senior class. To be selected for this title is an honor which they both deserve. We know that you will agree if you have ever seen them do their stuff on the dance floor. Pat is outstanding in everything she does which accounts for her dancing ability. She is a member of the F.H.A., G.A.A., Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, 15 Club, Student Council and many other school functions. Pat also has the great responsibility which comes with the Editorship of our annual. She had roles in both the Senior and Junior class plays. Alfred, like most good dancers, is also interested in athletics. He lettered in football this year. He was also elected president of the Blue Jackets and is a Student Council member. He had major parts in both the Senior and Junior class plays. Other points considered in choosing the best dancers were personality and good looks. Besides being attrac- tive they must watch their posture and the way they hold their partner. Pat and Alfred are able to do this without any effort. m 'unciani In this year's poll to discover the outstanding students from the Senior class, the honor of best musicians went to Bette Del Rae and George Scholey. Bette is a talented pianist and frequently plays in public and school functions. Bette is the accompanist for the girls' trio, and has been active in the annual Music Festival for the past three years. Bette really deserves this title, as anyone who has heard her play will agree. She is very versatile, in that she can play classical and popular music with grace. George Scholey is equally outstanding in the field of music. He plays the bass clarinet, and regular clarinet, and has been a member of the band for the last four years. He has played in the assemblies and public func- tions, to prove his ability. In the Music Festival George played a bass clarinet solo and received a Superior rating, which is the highest honor offered Last February George was entered in the Sacramento Music Festival. Hats off to two of Prescott Senior High School's most outstanding musicians.
