Tweiitj'-eight girls made the
honor roll for the second quarter
of the 1945-46 session. Thirty-six
girls made honorable mention.
This is a wonderful record and a
great improvement over previous
years.
Among those making the honor
roll were five juniors, fifteen
sophomores, one freshman, and six
seniors. Diiring the first quarter
the sophomores held the record
for having the most girls on the
honor rolls and it seems as if they
have done the same thing again.
Alyrtle Alston, freshman, had
the highest average in school with
93 5-9; and Alolly Ilazeii, sopho
more, who had the highest aver
age for the first quarter was right
behind her with 9p 3-7. Josephine
Cooper was third with 90 1-9, and
Gene Hines was fourth with 89 6-7.
Betty Sue Tayloe was fifth with
89 4-5, and Alarie Kiger was sixth
with 89 5-8. These girls can just
ly be proud of their averages.
Students getting honorable men
tion included fifteen juniors, eight
seniors, and twelve sophomores.
The reward for making honorable
mention is an extra extended Sat
urday night, and the reward for
making honor roll is an extra
week-end. To make the honor
roll a student must be carrying a
