Athens High Students Enjoy Snow Holidays And Honors
Athens High School students took two snowlike holidays as other schools in the area did, and semester tests began two days later. Regular classes resumed January 24 as normal. Jackie Cannon, senior and 1967 Limestone County and Alabama Rodeo Queen, was named second runner up to Miss Rodeo U.S.A. in Memphis. Cannon, daughter of Mr and Mrs Martin O Cannon of 510 North Jefferson St, left for Memphis January 17. The contestants faced judges in beauty and personality the night before a formal intro at the Sheraton Hotel, then rodeo judging at Lenox Farm. Friday night included the crowning of Miss Rodeo U.S.A and related events with Loretta Lynn. In 1966 Athens High became the first U.S. high school to sponsor a Red Cross blood drive, and another drive was planned for January 30. The campaign began with a steak dinner January 24 at the Jil-Mar Restaurant. Pi Beta Sigma sorority rushed 17 high school girls January 20: Kay Shaw, Molly Hand, Molly Maund, Libba McDonald, Ava Warren, Pam Black, Debbie Killen, Patsy Filippeli, Patsy Hays, Philda Johnson, Sue Vinson, Melissa Beasley, Becky Lewis, Janet Thompson, Nancy Hannah, Susan Thomas, and Alice Gossett.
