Had Spring Fling The annual Spring Fling, sponsored by the Student Senate, was held on May 16, 1969. The students attended classes on Friday morning but were excused in the afternoon for fun, frolic, and games. The competition was high with the Sophomores favored to win this annual event. Some of the contests included were: a spelling bee, ciphering match, bicycle race, a baseball game, relay races, tug-of-war, and many other contests. The Sophomores won the three-legged race while the Seniors pulled hard and won both the boys' and girls' tug-of-war. The Seniors staged a complete upset when they defeated the Sophomores in a volleyball game and won the 1969 Spring Fling. Other spirited contests took place earlier in the year in the class flag football and basketball tourneys. The Seniors again dominated but were given some stiff competition. These types of activities remind students that school is not all hard work. The spirit of competition, promoted largely by the Sopho- mores, helped to mold the students into one unified group. 1969 was the year in which Shenandoah became a high school in spirit as well as in name. ,,J H r if Q ' n ltt, ---- g v ' r t ' ez.

. . . 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. She was a teacher for 12 years in the Middletown and Northwestern schools. Speaking for the student body, Student Senate President, Steve Sheets recognizes Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Stoufer, and Mrs. Clevenger for their teaching services. Stan Smith, Valedictorian and Edlyn Jones, Salutatorian, wore their blazers which were awarded to them for their academic achievements. Mr. Pavy awarded to Ray Poffenbarger the Rex Stohler award on Honor Dav.
