Classically, the 12 seniors who serve as Sterling Citizens each year share a group of qualities that set them apart from the average student. Unlike most elec- tions at Sterling, the teachers vote on these students. It is not a student body popular vote; the teachers are instructed to vote on the nominees keep- ing in mind the predeter- mining requirements. Dignity, leadership, con- cern for others and class participation were looked for as teachers voted. Also, courage and a willingness to succeed and loyalty to themselves and to which they are identified was looked for. Sterling Citizens tended to be a cut above the average student; they didn't just fall into this category, they strived to be the best. Norman Adams, a senior. explained. 1 always tried to do and be a little better than what was expected of me. Maybe 1 impressed some people along the way.” Sterling Citizens were a special breed that always rose to the occa- sion. Mrs. Suzi Powers. English teacher, recalled. Through the years I’ve discovered that Sterling Citizens are special because they are gen- uinely spurred with a sense of duty. They care about their friends and about their school. The recipients of this prestigious award all seemed to agree with David Elmore and Nor- man. It is quite an honor to be elected as a Sterling Citizen. It makes you feel great to know that the teachers think so highly of you. 26 Sterling Citizens
