I really only tried to do good in school to get in college, but I feel pleased that my work has brought me this honor. ” What do you think you’ve done dif ferently from other students? “I don’t really consider myself different from other people nor have I done anything really differently. I guess that maybe I have tried harder to make good grades, but this hasn’t been easy for me. I have tried not to let homework interfere with my free time but I have occasionally done my homework instead of going out and enjoying myself. ” What does this honor mean to you? ‘ ‘This honor means a great deal to I feel especially honored to achieve this, considering all of the outstanding people we have in our class. ” In addition to school work, Linda was chief cheerleader, played Y bas ketball, was Regular Feature Editor of the Crossroads, and was in the National Honor Society. PAM COX — SALUTATORIAN When in your high school years did you begin to aim for this? “At midterm (after 2nd semester) my sophomore year I tied for first in the class. At that point I realized I was capable of being in the top of the class, which made me strive harder to keep up my grades. I didn’t actually try to be the top one or two. I just did my best most times and the classrank turned out that way. ” What do you think you’ve done dif- ferenriy from other students? “Sometimes I feel I worked harder to get a certain grade, while others around me half did some thing just to pass. I’ve never been one to do anything just to get by. Usually I go all out or not at all. This doesn ’t mean I always succeed, but at least I feel I tried to succeed. ” Vf^hat does this honor mean to you? “I am proud of myself and I feel very honored. I realize that the ma jority of the time I pushed myself to get a good grade. I suppose I’m con scientious about my work. In my opinion this honor represents all of the hard work and the time I spent over my school years trying to achieve something. Now I believe I have. ” Pam also played Y basketball, was Senior Class Vice-President, Editor of The Full Moon, a member of the National Honor Society and played on the school softball team. Heaven On Earth With special meaning and memories to be cherished forever the juniors and seniors celebrated their prom on May 17, at the Albemarle High School Gymnasium.
