Honor tubent To soy that the Saint Francis HONOR STUDENT of 1959 excels in studies is, to put it mildly, an understate- ment. And that is for this simple reason—that this boy is above and before all else a student in the strictest sense of the word. Studies are his primary concern as college is his first objective. His career in Saint Francis has been marked by scholastic triumph in each of his four years. He has been consistently a grade A student, an achievement that has placed him continuously in the Saint Francis chapter of the California Scholarship Federation and which has won for him the high honor of life member- ship in this distinguished and select organization. An even greater distinction was his in his senior year when his undisputed scholastic ability won him a place among the Nation's top 10,000 finalists in the National 34 Merit Scholarship Tests, ranking him among one per cent of the country’s best high school students. Another testimony to his tremendous academic ability was given when his fellow-members of the Saint Francis Chapter of the CSF elected him to the Chapter's Vice- Presidency. This boy's devotion to studies has not in any way de- tracted from the service he has rendered the school in other ways, notably as the AIVERNIAN'S Assistant Edi- tor of 1958, Editor of 1959, and a member of the school’s Service Club, the Circle K. In addition, he has loyally supported all school activities, spiritual, athletic and social. In all of his career at Saint Francis he has been co- operative and courteous, obliging and respectful,'zeal- ous and helpful. For all of these things, he has won the respect of his fellow-students, the admiration of the Faculty, and the supreme accolade of the school, the HONOR STU- DENT OF 1959. As such, the AIVERNIAN salutes its own Editor, DAVID COYLE.
