Honor Graduates As a reward of their outstanding scholastic achievement, these eleven girls have been given the title 'Honor Graduate. This name denotes long hours of study and striving to reach the top. With a total of 193 A's and 26 B's these girls maintained the highest scholastic averages in their graduating class. Being an Honor Graduate is the most out- standing award bestowed upon a Senior, and as a lasting reminder of their superior ac- complishment a trophy is presented to them at graduation.

the fun, the rewards . . . Another tradition of Southwest is the annual Christmas program presented by the Seniors. This year the presentation was particu- larly impre ssive as the nativity scene was dramatized on our new stage. Although the story was old and the carols familiar, a real Christmas spirit was anewed within each viewer. In recognition of the semester honor roll, the National Honor Society held an assembly to present emblems to those students who made either the semester or quarter honor roll. The students who had worked to have high scholastic averages felt a sense of pride as they were rewarded for their accomplishment. Service also accompanied our daily school life. As a result of this service, the meaning of responsibility was instilled in many Southwest students. Sometimes these jobs seemed to be burdens, but with broad minds, Trojans faced the fact that work has to be mixed with pleasure in all aspects of life. By accepting assigned duties, these servers became young men and women. Because of outstanding service to the school, a boy and girl were chosen regularly to be Students of the Month. This, too, was an honor as the students had to possess qualities of a well- rounded life and a pleasing personality. Among ourbig events of the year was the Southwest Follies. This student talent show proved to be one of the most successful projects ever sponsored by the Student Council. Planning this event took long hours of both group and individual work, and due to excellent student participation and organization the Southwest Follies even surpassed expectations. As we can see, our school year was highlighted by many rewarding activities. Each of them greatly benefitted both the students and the school. Yes, with satisfaction we remember the work, the fun, and the rewards of a fruitful year at Southwest.
