September 9, 1966 Junior wins national honor First place honors were taken by junior Pam Wiik in the na tional junior achievement com petition at Bloomington, Indiana during the summer. Pam won the New York Stock Exchange’s trophy along with $250 for editing the best annual report. She also won a 3-day trip to New York in October hosted by the stock exchange. When asked about her reac tion to winning the national hon or, Pam summed it up in one word, “shocked.” “There were 20 national contests and our con test winners were announced last,” she explained. “When they finally did announce our winners, they started with the fifth runner up and continued up to first. The waiting made me very nervous. Then I found out I won and I was so excited.” Junior achievement was first introduced to Pam through the annual assembly devoted to it held last fall. She was placed in Norco, the company counseled by employees of Northwest Nat ural Gas Company. She was elected secretary for the first half of the year, Norco produced and sold bul letin boards. From these sales the company grossed $1,250 and was named Portland’s junior achievement company of the year. “Junior achievement is what yo"ii make it,” explained Pam. “If you work hard, it can really President reluctant to decorate cm; Urges student body curd purchase Winning the annual student body card contest with. Jefferson for the fourth straight year isn’t the only reason for making the $3 purchase according to Rick Dinihanian, student body presi dent. A “flair of prestige” goes along with the card, in ad dition to a subscription to the Grantonian, 25c off all game tickets and 50c off on the purchase of a yearbook, Furthermore the cards are required for entrance to all dances. As the basis for the executive council’s budget, the money from the sale helps finance the en deavors of the yearbook and newspaper staffs. Because he is student body president, having a success ful student body card sale is important to Rick. He ad mits “The main reason I want everyone to buy stu- dent body cards is that I don’t want to paint a gar- bage can.” the losing school’s president tradition ally paints the winner’s gar bage can during one of their assemblies. The traditional race began this year when our council chal lenged Jefferson’s and they ac cepted. Rick adds, “Jeff’s really hot to beat us.” Cards are being sold in the Student Body store until the con test ends September 23.

Broadway . . . assignment for striders Striding to regain the city championship, the varsity cross country squad began work last week and Coach Mark Cotton feels he has a team “that can run with anyone.” After winning three con secutive city titles, the Gen- .erals faltered to third be hind Wilson and Marshall last year and finished sixth in the state meet. Led by returning lettermen and co-captains Ardy Ison and Kirk Breese, this appears to be a team of no individual “stars.” Kevin Monson, junior city champ, and other lettermen Bill Francis, John Feely, Randy Boone, Jim Mann and sophomore city titlist Bruce McCormmach are strong assets to the team. Coach Cotton feels that Bruce Bromley and Greg Edwards will be able to push anyone on the team. Several schools will pro vide top competition for the Generals. Marshall appears to be the strongest. Taking over the job of head custodian is Kenneth E. Hughes who is replacing Noble Cum mings. For the past nine years, Mr. Hughes worked at Ockley Green elementary school. Previous to this, he spent one year at Astor school. Thirteen helpers and one mat ron will assist Mr. Hughes in his job which includes clean-up, maintenance of the grounds and building, and minor repairs.

Organized by Denver pub lic schools the week-long meeting included lectures and questlion - and - answer periods. According to Rick “some of the most interest ing” classes were held by the Jaycees. Rick adds that he found a lady psychologist’s discussion of love very informative. Among the dignitaries at the conference were Miss America of 1957 and the principals and administra tors of the Denver schools. “I learned a lot about leader ship . . . maybe more about peo ple,” states Rick. Delegates were first divided into discussion groups, later into councils much like our executive council and then held general sessions. An adult council an swered questions. Earl Reum organized the con ference which hosted students from all over, particularly the South and the Midwest. Rick was the only representative from the west coast.
