t? — Duke's Photo — Harvey Carter Members of a most exclusive club, the senior superlatives received their memberships in a democratic fashion. Prior to Tuesday, March 25, 1980, Mr. Mims announced a faculty meeting to be held that day and instructed Mrs. Harry Wolinski to prepare a list of sen- iors to use at the meeting. Mrs. Kathryn Young, also a Sandspur advisor, typed the list. When the teachers met, they discussed students' qualifica- tions for the honor of superlative and made suggestions for candi- dates. Each teacher voted for ten stu- dents and placed a special mark by the student they felt should be best all-round senior. Mrs. Wolinski counted the votes on the ballots. According to her calculations, over one- hundred students had at least one vote. Many had twenty to thirty votes, and winners received from fifty to eighty votes. Valedictorian David New had the special honor of receiving the highest number of votes both for senior superlative and for best all-round senior. Just as Tim Farley had the sec- ond highest grade average, he also had the second highest number of votes for senior super- lative. Unfortunately, Tim did not have his portrait made because of job conflicts. Laura George Bill Passmore 19
