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

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

Michael McKay Versatile is the only word which vividly describes Michael McKay, com- mittee chairman of the Newman Club, treasurer for the Young Democrats, and member of the Radio and Electronics Club and the Student Council. Michael chose the field of physics as a major because he believes that through science the world can be made a little better place in which to live. Aside from his many extracurricular activities and studies, Michael worked as a part-time assistant in the language lab. Michael is a graduate of Saint An- thony ' s Junior Seminary and will enter The University of Texas upon graduation from SAC. He enjoys spending as much time as possible working on radio and electronic equipment. Camping, hiking, and the out of doors in general, along with playing the piano, complete the list of Michael ' s favorite hobbies and pastimes. 107
