Mary Ann Romanek The audio division of the library is just one of the sections that attracts Mary Ann Romanek, who lists being selected to the Top Ten, and serving as president of Beta Alpha Omega sorority as her most memorable experiences this year. During her spare time she also likes to collect interesting facts concerning biol- ogy, a normal inclination for a biology major, and to compile material on ele- mentary school counseling. Leisure moments are a rarity, though, for this energetic lass, who is a book- keeper for a local department store, as well as an active member of Beta Alpha Omega, Cheshyre Cheese, and her church youth organization. A graduate of Edison High School, Mary Ann plans to attend Southwest Texas State College. Of SAC she says, . . . its students and faculty have meant a lot to me.

Mary Rentz I am interested in directing young lives along the right paths, said Mary Rentz of her teaching major. Elementary Education. When she looks at you with that warm, friendly smile of hers, you know she is sincere in her statement. Mary, a Lee High School graduate, anticipating further study at The Univer- sity of Texas, is an honor student, Phi Theta Kappa vice-president, Beta Alpha Omega spring semester chaplain, and Texas Student Education Association sec- retary. Also a Sigma Tau Sigma and a Student Council member, she lists high- lights of her spring semester as being representative to the T.S.E.A. convention and performer in the Water Show. With hobbies of swimming, art, horse- back riding, bowling, astronomy, and dancing, Mary, a quiet but genuine per- son, wants to be like her teachers, all ex- cellent people to her, and hopes to serve in the profession she believes is the world ' s most important. 110

Donald Walden A member of the Texas Student Edu- cation Association, Donald Walden, bet- ter known as Don, was chosen as a dele- gate to the annual state convention. A Phi Theta Kappa member, he listens to clas- sical music and helps pen manufacturers by writing prose. He also belongs to Cheshyre Cheese and the Student Council. A graduate of Leavenworth Senior High School, he received another SAC honor when he obtained a Pryor Scholar- ship. Interested both in literature and social science, Donald will major in ei- ther English or American Studies. Upon finishing here he will continue his edu- cation at The University of Texas. Donald ' s selection to Top Ten came as a surprise to him as he stated, Well, this illustrates something — either about me or about SAC — but I ' m not sure what. To be chosen to the Top Ten certainly reveals something about the individual and his qualities of leadership, scholar- ship, character, personality, fellowship, and reputation. 112
