David Karney David Karney got plenty of walking exercise as he trotted across the McAl- lister Auditorium stage four times at the Awards Assembly, May 7. He received his second Top Ten certificate, the Hallmark Trophy as the most outstanding Ranger athlete, a track letter, and an all A award in German. As president of the Beta Nu chapter, David was one of 500 students at the national meeting of Phi Theta Kappa in Aberdeen, Washington. He also co-cap- tained the San Antonio College track team the past year. Running the hurdles, he won three seconds and a third place in compe- tition at the state and conference meets. David describes mathematics, his ma- jor, as having a certain beauty that re- wards diligent study. In the spring of 1963, he won the Mathematics Award as the top student in that subject. David has been on the Dean ' s List since coming here. Among the professions that he is con- sidering are math, teaching, and nuclear physics. 105

Sandra Eichelbaum Sandra Eichelbaum, familiarly known around the campus as Sandy, shuns idle time, and exhibits in her work and play a laudable habit of keeping active. Sandy, besides working on a double major of Secondary Education in English and History, belongs to Theta Kappa Chi, Young Democrats, Cheshyre Cheese, and Phi Theta Kappa, and was on the Dean ' s Honor List. Choosing her majors because of her love for history, politics and literature, as well as a longing to help people by passing on knowledge, this University of Texas hopeful and Thomas Jefferson High School graduate has received a $100 per semester Pryor scholarship since her ar- rival at SAC. While praising the deep educational insight gleaned from her instructors, Sandy explained, The personal relation- ships I feel with my teachers have instilled in me the desire for knowledge and learn- ing. She also fills non-school hours by working part time as a salesgirl and by playing tennis, swimming, and skindiving. 104

Sylvia Kerckhoff A cubed structure nearby to sym- bolize her major in Fine Arts, Sylvia Kerckhoff, Miss San Antonio College, smiles as should the Queen of the Inter- national Ambassador ' s Ball, another honor which she holds. Choosing Fine Arts as a major be- cause of a career-interest in interior dec- orating, this Highlands High School grad- uate has achieved notable positions at SAC, such as vice-president of both Pi Gamma Phi sorority and the Folk Dance Club and Student Council member. Sylvia intends to continue her education at Prin- cipia College in St. Louis. She is active as well when it comes to pursuing her varied hobbies of collecting coins and stamps, sewing, swimming, dancing, and playing baseball. Impressed with the College, Sylvia comments, My days at SAC have been very enjoyable ones because I feel that its excellent academic program and teachers have set me on a firmer foundation. 106
