“Hopefully, these young women
have served as role models to the
many underclassmen they have
come into contact with,” said Miss
Myra Davis, advisor to the Belle
staff. “They have done those
things that sat them above their
peers. It is easy to be average,
but it takes something special to
achieve in the books and in
campus involvement.”
She explained the yearbook staff
wanted to give all members of the
campus community an opportunity
to select outstanding seniors.
“How can faculty and staff de
termine who is making an impact
on student life without input from
the students?”
