Honor Only Two?
Ia it fair to honor only two at graduation? By
honoring only two, we mean choosing only two
students, a valedictorian and a salutorian to be
honored at graduation. Granted, these two students
have earned the right to be honored by achieving
the highest grade point average in the graduating
class but what about the other seniors who are
just as smart but are not recognized at all?
The editor of the "Jolly Roger," Phoenix's paper
says: "G.P.A. does not take into consideration the
courses in which a student is enrolled; therefore a
bright student may receive excellent grades in an
easier course and average grades in a course that
requires a higher degree of mental exertion. The
harder courses will probably be of more benefit to
the college bound senior, yet he often will shy away
from them for fear of lowering his G.P.A. standing.
To encourage students to take the most beneficial
courses without fear of losing one of these desired
positions, secondary schools throughout the nation
have eliminated a valedictorian and salutorian and
extended honors to include the top 10 of the grad
uatinng class. Others pay tribute to the seniors who
have maintained a B average or better during the
high school years."
Both of these methods seem very good because
it really isn't fair to honor only two at this high
point in the life of every student. Many times a
hopeful senior will strive to obtain this goal and
then he will lose it because somebody else received
one more "A" than he did.
So if we are going to honor our graduating
seniors let's honor everyone who deserves to be
honored or let's honor none at all!

Your 1962 Junior
Senior Prom
"Shades of Antony and Cleo
patra! Never was there a party
more ROMANTIC (the Romans
had the word!) than this enchant
ing scene from WAY BACK-back
when life was EXCITING and
COLORFUL. So let's us drive our
chariots over the Appian Way to
a starlit garden of old Rome etc.
etc. etc."
This is a cover advertisement
for a catalog of Junior-Senior
Prom supplies.
With the prom some two months
away, Mr. Keith Mobley is up
to his ears in catalogs and sug
gestion pamphlets he has received
for this year's prom.
Perhaps you would be interest
ed in hearing af few of selections
the prom committee will have to
chose the theme of this prom
from.
First we have the afore ment
ioned theme A Roman Holiday.
Let's see bubbling fountains,
chariots, gladiators, laurel
wreathe. Oh yes, many outlets for
an imaginative mind.
Next we have a "wet" theme,
Anchors Oweigh. Coral reefs, sea
weed, life savers, mermaids, salty
stories and hearty songs. Maybe
even a life boat or two.
Here we have a Colonial idea
carried out by a Carolina moon,
Kentucky home, magnolia trees
and a Tallahassee lassie or Mis
sissippi missie.
The next idea is a Rainbow.
Pots of gold, colorful decorat
ions, fairweather and sunbeams.
Or maybe Moonlight and Roses?
Rose gardens, silvery moonlight
and a star studded sky? Romantic
setting for a special occasion.
Suppose there is a Song in my
Heart? Lovely music, flower
entnwincd fences, decorated cana
py and heart shaped ballons.
Here we have only a few of the
many themes mentioned. We are
certain, however, that when the
active juniors get together with
the advertising pamphlets, they
can and will put forth all their
efforts to make this prom the best
ever.
