Uur Honor Students Achieving the highest scholastic average during her four years in Sidney High School has brought the honor of being class Valedictorian to Joanne Ackerman. Joanne has not only attained distinction in scholarship but has been an outstanding and popular class leader. She has been an active participant in school government, tennis, Pep Club, and other school activities. For three years she has served as one of the cheer leaders. Joanne is known and respected by the entire faculty and student body. J OANNE ACKERMAN The second highest average resulted in a tie between Barbara Radcliffe and Jacqueline Pindell. These girls are entitled to the honor of being class Salutatorians. Both girls have held office in the school student government, played on the tennis team, and have been active in the social events of the school. These girls are popular with all their fellow classmates and the faculty. The honors which these three girls have attained have been achieved only through diligence and perseverance. Their entire high school career has always typified the best in scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship. We feel sure that the outstanding qualities which these girls possess will make them leaders in the years to come. BARBARA RADCLIFFE J ACQUELINE PINDELL T1- NA 'ITN n-In L N

Senate Mr. Shuman, Miss Shires, Mr. Burnham, Miss Robinson, Miss Nevin There are two major political parties in our Student Govern- ment set-up. They are the Progressives and the Independents. These parties in each State nominate their candidates by petition and hold direct primaries. Then a general ballot is prepared and a general elec- tion is held. After the election all successful candidates are given the Oath of Office. Each State is divided into four Districts. Each District elects a member to represent it in the House of Representatives. This group is composed entirely of students. The individual States have a unicameral system much like that of the State of Nebraska. Two members from each District are elected to the State Senate. This group formulates the policies for each in- dividual State. Every student and faculty member is entitled to run for office and to participate in the management of the school government. Every- one becomes familiar with the workings of our National Government, thereby having a fuller knowledge and understanding of governmental matters in the life of the community.

LUCILLE JONES The Seniors have spent their last year in high school by engaging in many activities- scrap drives, bond sales, sponsoring the first school dance of the year and several other dances, purchasing a nickelodeon, looking forward to attending the J unior-Senior Ban- quet, wondering and anticipating about the Senior, prom, fretting and thinking about those final examinations, reading the class will and prophecy, and finally assembling for the last time to hear the Senior speeches and to receive honors and diplomas-these have been a few of the important high lights in the final year at Sidney High School. During the year many boys and girls have turned their thoughts to entering the armed forces. The Class of 1944 has been outstanding while in school-they will continue to be Out- standing no matter Where they are called on to serve. J OANNE ACKERMAN fZom2 COLLEGE PREP Sidney 1-4.
