Sterling’s 12 U pholding the es- teemed character of a Ross S. Sterling Citizen was a task attempted by many, but clearly accomplished by only 12 faculty-elected seniors. These self- motivated exceptional stu- dents were known for their untiring contributions to the school. From among a mass of two thousand plus students, certain illuminat- ing qualities distinguished these. Grades were definitely a consideration. Ronnie Bounds commented. I think being in National Honor Society has helped me to keep my grades high and achieve this nomina- tion. Teachers remember what organizations most of their students are involved with in these types of elec- tions.” Possibly the most obvi- ous requirement of a Ster- ling Citizen was that of set- ting a good example. “The kind of kid we re looking for in a Sterling Citizen is someone a faculty mem- ber can delegate a task to and know, without a doubt, it will be done, de- scribed Mrs. Sheryl Ward, senior counselor. The same faculty mem- ber stressed that the model Sterling Citizen was some- one who involved himself in various extracurricular activities, usually in a lead- ership role. Lance Teel ad- vised. Coming to Sterling can be pretty scary for freshmen. But if you have a fear, you need to tackle it straight on; I've been in Student Council since I was a freshman and it’s re- ally helped me! Last, but not least, among these requirments was a cooperative attitude. Mrs. Carolyn Saunders, English teacher, re- vealed.’A person who is caring and compassionate toward fellow classmates has enormous impact on the student body and teachers. In closing, Mr. Frank Hutchins, assistant princi- pal, surmised. I can truth- fully say that these people don’t get elected because of popularity. It takes a special quality that has to come from inside, to be a Sterling Citizen. Other» include John Culp. Ronnie ability. How well your general person- Bounds.

Sterling teeshirts. along with Guess? brand jeans, were a favorite with both sexes. Jason Faulk, a junior, said. I feel most comfort- able in my jeans, 'Ranger Rock’ teeshirt and Reebok shoes. The trashed, torn-up. look was a big smash with some Rangers like Jason Hampton, a senior. Jason felt more at home in his boots, ripped up pants and a real baggy shirt. He re- marked. Many people at Sterling are posters (picture perfect) and a lot of them think school is a fashion competition.” Some other popular items were hair fashion ac- cessories, big earings. plaid outfits and colored denim. Darla Martin, a junior, said that she liked the met- al ponytail holders because they give the ponytail a playful look. Last year.
