Tommy Wannamaker Award Goes To A Most Deserving Senior — Julie Strickland Leadership, scholarship, and dependability provided the basis for the selection of Julie Strickland as the recipient of the 1976 Tommy Wannamaker Award. A student at WHA since its beginning in 1964, she has served her school well in various capacities throughout the years. During her upper school career, Julie has been an honor roll stu- dent, as well as a recipient of the NEDT Scholastic Award. She was also a finalist in the 1975 National Merit Scholarship Competition. Besides being elected Miss Seventh Grade, Miss Junior, and Miss Rebel, Julie has also served her class and school as a member of Student Council and of the Rebel staff. As a Senior, Julie served as editor of the Rebel, a position which demands a unique leadership ability and many hours of hard work. Other honors Julie received in 1975 included being chosen a delegate to Girls' State, a Furman Scholar, and a graduation marshal. A most competent student in both academic and extracurricular areas, Julie is straightforward, sin- cere, and dedicated in all her un- dertakings, a fact that highly qual- ified her for WHA’s highest honor.
