Laude Welcomes Eleven;
It Now' Attitude Pays Off
by Miriam Gilbert
"This is a rather unusual class," said Miss Rosemary
Hope, secretary of the Cure Laude chapter at Walnut Hills,
"and these 11 seniors have done outstanding work." In an
assembly last Wednesday Da-
marls Ames, Nancy "3radeen,
Stuart Dubin, :darc Hertzman,
Ellen Levine, Helen Lutton,
Jim Murphy, Anne Xedfern,
John Steiner, and :delinda
Woodward were honored for
their academic excellence as
shown by a cumulative average
of 3.75 for seven semesters.
Because her files were not
here, Alice :darks, also a mem-
ber of Cure Laude, was not
recognized in the assembly.
These are indeed unusual
people, and busy ones too.
Their activities include high
positions on Student Council,
Student Court, Senior Council,
CHATTERBOX, GLEAM, GAg,
and language clubs. Ilow do
they manage to keep up their
gxades and still engage in so
many different activities? John
says, "! love to be doing some-
thing all the time, so 1 txy to
.space my activities with
homework."
Ellen and Alice use little
bits of time for studying so
they can do more things. Jim
saves up time to work on week-
ends, while Aelinda gets
started with homework"right
away." "The most important
thing," says Helen, "is to set
aside a time to do something
and then do it." Hare feels
that homework always comes
first. Stuart states that he will
:always do homework, no matter
;how long it takes.
Their record of consistently
"high grades has been achieved
• in the face of stiff competition
nd difficult courses. Each
3ne takes Advanced English.

',vanced Math, six in tdvanced

Most of the seniors feel that
these classes have been par-
ticularly good. Nancy and Hel-
en mentioned the "broader
scope of knowledge" which
they have received. Anne says
that "you get the incentive to
do your best because of the
competition." John said that
the new concepts he has
learned were valuable, but he
feels that there is not enough
general discussion in the
humanities.
The "elect 11" are not
Quite sure bow they have main-
tained their average - in
Nancy's words - "it just
seems to come." Damaris feels
that her greatest asset is
"coming from an academic fam-
ily and doing a lot of traveling.
In this way, my interest has
been excited in people and
places." Helen, too, thinks
that the atmosphere at home
and school encourages academ-
ic achievement, The desire to
do well is an important factor.
Stuart tries to do as well as
he thinks he should and takes
live courses a year so he can
"get as much as possible."
Anne says she is "dissatisfied
if i don't get good grades."
John also sets a standard for
himself, lie feels that hard
work is the only answer, as
does Alice. "1 try to do all
the work assigned and not get
behind," stated Jim.
