Scholarships Honor Gthers Grahood Tops Class List Recognizing three years of aca- demic excellence, Lisa Orahood, Susan Moore, and Joan Kitterman were name Valedictorian and Co- Salutatorian for the Senior Class of 1978 by Principal Jim Stickney. Ten other seniors were singled out for other academic awards or honors at that time.

Lisa maintained a 4.0 gpa, Susan a 3.97 and Joan a 3.96. Mr. Richard Naccarato, head coun- selor, listed ten seniors who had received scholarships and other regional awards as of March 10.

He predicted the list will be con- siderably longer by the final pre- sentation ceremony on graduation day.

Honor Society Taps Leaders Honor Society is a special group of students recognized for their academic accomplish- ments and contributions to the school. As an honorary, the organization has no activities other than admitting new members each year. A student is eligible for Honor Society as a sophomore with a 3.8 cumulative g.p.a., as a junior with a 3.4 g.p.a.g or as a senior with a 3.2 g.p.a. This scholarship requirement does not guarantee acceptance. The criteria for final selection of a candidate depends on his or her eligibility in leadership, service and character. Final selection is made by the faculty, as students are not permitted to vote on candidates. Honor Society usually meets in the spring. Its prime function is to assist students applying to college to gain honors at entrance, explained Mr. Jeff Brown, coordinator. C I tl CENT
