Honors Accorded to Worthy Warren Pupils I At the fall sports convocation, Coach Virgil Kirkpatrick re- warded members of the cross- country team. Frequent use of the library proved beneficial to senior Tom Roberts, class valedictorian. Honor in the form of either virtue or esteem is most commonly hnked with service and achievement. Students who cooperated with the Red Cross Club in sending useful gifts to servicemen in Viet Nam and those who contributed to the Feed-a-family project of the Hi-C Bible Club at Thanks- giving can testify to the personal honor which is developed by service to others. To those who show achievement in the areas of athletics and scholastics is accorded the esteem to which their accomplishments en- title them. Athletes basked in the praise of sports enthusiasts. Highlighting the fall sports season, the football team successfully defended the county title. The winter sports season brought acclaim both to the basketball team for capturing the dope box from Speedway ' s championship team and to wrestler Bob Keenan, who advanced to fourth place in state wrestHng competition. However, it is not uncommon to find people who have combined service and achievement to gain both a sense of personal honor and esteem. 6

Representing Warren both at games and concerts re- quired considerable time from band and orchestra mem- bers. Pursue Busy Schedules Although high school life is somewhat shel- tered from the challenge and responsibihty which students will face in later years, it nevertheless demands courage. Many wise Warrenites thus fill their schedules with activities which offer them the opportunity to develop this valor. Such activities may take the form of either academic courses or extra- curricular endeavors. In twelve scholastic areas Warren Central offers 117 courses planned to appeal to all of its students: many students supplement an interest in one of these areas with work in a related club. Thirty-three organizations demand time and knowledge from members, and in return afford a student with a glimpse of the challenge which awaits him. Once a student has commanded the cour- age to present a speech, engage in athletics, or tackle a difficult project, he possesses the fortitude to face tasks of greater difficulty. Having acquired a degree of wisdom and courage, Warrenites have begun to develop not only the qualities which are necessary for routine daily existence, but also those which are needed for a life of challenge and ful- fillment. Personifying both the nickname and the courage of the Warriors during home basketball games was Gary Shrum.
