The PSAT was usually taken to 5? test one's self before the official SAT was taken. For three students, Paul Horn, Kevin jones and Mike Simone, scores were so high in the PSAT that they were named Commended Stu- dents in the 1980 Merit Program. Fat- hia Sessing was also Commended in the National Achievement Scholar- ship Program for Outstanding Negro Students.

PERSONAI C3OAl S PAV QPF Awards, prizes, medals, recogni- tion, scholarships, call them by any name, they still mean the same thing: something given in return for service on merit or as the result of judging, anything worth striving for, any envi- able or highly valued possession. In Webster's definition an award seems to be something one is working for, almost like a goal, For most high school students, getting through day by day seemed a hard enough obsta- cle. As a freshman, students didn't think to work hard in school just to get an award at the end of their sen- ior year. That was why these awards were given, to honor such students who did excel for personal reasons and no other. Showing outstanding achievement in the area of social science, Lori Lowe received the Gemco Award. This went to only one person in the school. She received 525.00 and the chance to go on to further competi- tion, in the area of economics. When asked how she felt being the recipi- ent she replied, l feel honored for being chosen for this award. Having the administration recog- nize good students was something to be proud of, but when one's peers did too, it was a real honor. The Daughters of American Revolution award won by David Lewis was voted for by the senior class and the admin- istration alike This award was spon- sored by the Pomona Chapter of th DAR tDaughters of the America i YCOMMENDED STUDENTS IN THE 1980 MERIT PROGRAM.
