Valedletorlan Salutatorlan l Karen Griffith KAREN GRIFFITH achieved the meritorious honor of valedictorian of the class of 1957 of West Valley High School. Karen's thoughtful and tireless work through- out her four years in high school attained for her the coveted average of 4.0. Such a record is in- deed outstanding and inspiring. Her energies and enthusiasm were not con- fined to books and studies alone. She took a live- ly interest in many school functions. She was a member of Pep Club, Future Homemakers of America, Future Teachers of America, Girls' Athletic Association, Band, Debate, Ski Club, Photography, Library, Honor Society, Science Club, Girls' League, Chorus, Annual Staff and Student Council. The lights of her leadership ability were not dimmed by this variety of ac- tivities for she was recognized and served capa- bly as senior class president, A.S.B. secretary, Debate Club president, and Band secretary. With all of this her favorite subjects, Latin, history and library, came in for a good share of her in- dustrious attention. Karen, with seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm, found time to serve on the Bon Marche fashion board, as well as taking part in other community affairs. Her life and accom- plishments are enriched by hobbies of stamp col- lecting, photography, sports, skiing, ping-pong, and music. Karen plans to attend Puget Sound College where she hopes to become a teacher or librarian. Congratulations are extended to Karen for an outstanding achievement. 26 5 Q Murcia Brown MARCIA BROWN achieved second place honor as Salutatorian, with a 3.739 average. for the Senior Class of 1957 at West Valley High School. To attain this honor, Marcia met the chal- lenge steadfastly and competently. The goal was high, the stairs were steep, but Marcia's persever- ance stood her well through her four years in high school. Her vitality was not limited to scho- lastic attainment only as evidenced by her activ- ity in school clubs-Pep Club, Future Teachers of America, Band, Chorus, Honor Society, An- nual Staff, and Senior Girls' Quartette. 'She proved her competence in the student offices of junior class secretary and Pep Club vice pres- ident. But it wasn't all work and no play for Mar- cia. There was also time for such hobbies as sew- ing and sports. Special interests which received her extra attention in school were music, mathe- matics and English. The spotlight most frequently found Marcia participating in one of a variety of musical ac- tivities. Her charm and grace were a pleasing part of her accomplished performances at the piano or flute, with singing groups or as a soloist. To continue her education, Marcia hopes to attend Central Washington College of Education or Washington State College. Her plans for the future include preparation for teaching in the elementary grades. Congratulations, Marcia, for attaining this high honor.
