Highest Honor The highest honor that a high school can bestow on one of its students is that of valedictorian. Dolores Hogue was chosen for this coveted award, as she main- tained the highest scholastic average in the class of l959. Both Dee and her inspiring speech, An lm- portant Goal in Our School Life, will long. be remem- bered by the school. Her future plans are as yet un- certain, but the class agrees that Dolores will be a success in whatever she undertakes. . . .EQUAL SUCCESS Among the many honors bestowed upon Southport students this year, two of the finest came to Judy Culver. Because of her high scholastic achieve- ment and pleasant personality, Judy was selected by the faculty to be the D.A.R. representative from Southport. Judy also won the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award consisting of a gold pin and an opportunity for a scholarship. Congratulations are in order for Judy. 21

An opportunity to sign ANCHORS was one of the privileges granted the student body. Here Betty Hun- toon lseatedl, Betty Miller, Dick McCullough, Nancy Sowden, and Jack Tilson inscribe their John Henry's along with remember when . . . As John Q. Studentbody, a Senior at South- port, stands looking out the east door of the new and gigantic fieldhouse, he sees a great phase of Southport's history. Standing in the midst of the new look and gazing at the old is a very strange feeling to John because he has been a part of both. As he stands there, deep in thought, John's entire high school career is reflected in his eyes, with an accent on its brevity. The thousand and one todays and tomorrows that were so real have been reduced to a handful of yesterdays to be filed away as memories. Graduation day, which once seemed remote, is now close at hand. So, now, as the rapidity of spring events fore- tells the coming graduation, John Q. Student- body stands gazing out the east door of the tieldhouse. He has been one of the first new look class, the first of many. COMMEN CEMENT - NOT AN END Many of the alumni attend Baccalaureate and Commencement services.
