The Black and Gold 1976



MHSers Gain Recognition For Scholastic Achievement

  Throughout the year, many McKinleyites gained special recognition for their personal pursuits. 

 Both of McKinley's semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) went on to become finalists, with one also becoming a Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year Nominee. Three other seniors received National Merit Letters of Commendation and another became a winner in the Bicentennial Essay contest.

  Last year's Miss Teenage America finalist became a second runner-up in the Hawaii Junior Miss Pageant while MHS' student senate president was selected for the United States Senate intern program. Yet another senate member was nominated to the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans.

  Fine arts students were also recognized with art students vying for Gold Key Awards in the National Scholarship Art Contest and band students auditioning for Solo and Ensemble Awards.

  The faculty, too, was honored when McKinley's nominee for Teacher of the Year, who was a resource teacher for the hearing impaired, emerged as the district nominee and then went on to receive honors for the entire state.

  Other students brought back awards from the Motor Building Contest, the Industrial Arts Craftmen's fair, the Bicentennial Youth Debate contest and many speech festivals.

  Thus, the year saw many MHS individual achieve.
