*Seven Tigers (1927-41)
"SEVEN TIGERS"
Beginning in 1927, a tradition was started giving credit and honor to those members of the graduating class who had given the most to the school in their respective fields of endeavor. An impartial committee comprised of students and faculty members selected these seven seniors. In 1928, the award was expanded to 10 students but returned to seven students from 1929 through that last year given out, 1941.
During that 15 year period the award was presented to 108 seniors based on leadership, cooperation, good sportsmanship, diligence, personality, and democratic attitude - those most representative of the "Tiger Spirit" in their outstanding service to the school.
