. . . Honored Its Cutstanding Achievers, ' Each year the National Honor Society sponsors an Honor Day, for the student faculty, and parents. Many certificates, medals, and trophies were presented to the deserving students. Many special awards were also presented. The valedictorian Stan Smith and salutatorian Eddie Jones were introduced and recognized for their achievements. They each received a blazer, a trophy, and other nice awards. The coveted Rex Stohler award for mental attitude in athletics was presented this year to a Junior. The student chosen to receive this high award was Ray Poffenbarger. Flay was surprised when he received the award, but he was certainly the right person to receive it. The inscription reads: He gave so much, He asked for so very little. The student body and community unfortunately lost three of our best teachers this year. Mrs. Hazel Baker, Mrs. Flossie Clevenger, and Mrs. Georgiana Stoufer are retiring this year after many challenging years of teaching. There will be a vacant spot created by the absence of these teachers but our hearts will be filled with warm and fond memories of them. Mrs. Hazel Baker was home economics teacher at Middletown for 11 years. After 42 years of teaching, she has decided to retire. Mrs. Flossie Clevenger was a junior high teacher in our school. She taught in the Middletown and Northwestern schools for 47 years. Mrs. Georgiana Stoufer taught Latin, French, and English at Shenandoah.
