Honors Encompass Varied Life Qtyles Valdosta High School rewarded its many outstand- ing students on Honors Day for their efforts in fields that varied from acting to taking shorthand dictation, to displaying efficiency in the kitchen. Oscars or Tonys were not the trophies, hut drama students worked just as hard to win their tributes as did George C. Scott or Jane Fonda. Ernie Carter, a member of the drama club — Studio 20 — since its inception, earned a scholarship to continue dramatic studies at Berry College. Jerome Branham, Kathy Morgan, and Woody Leo- nard received recognition respectively as the most out- standing junior in speech, the most outstanding senior in speech, and the outstanding debater. Anita Sloan proved to be the most improved senior speech stu- dent. Joann Black was the most improved junior. In the commercial classes, Newton Bassford was the best male typist, while Lynn Polonski was his female counterpart. Loretha Johns out-wrote everyone to win top shorthand honors. Finally, STAR Student Margaret Espinosa proved to be talented in other areas when she won the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award.
