I read with interest the article "Central York Parents Protest Lost Honor Titles" (YDR 7/18, page 4C). The superintendent explained that the idea dates back to 1996 when a committee of parents and staff advised the school board in recognizing more than just the top two students of each class. I find it very sad that their solution was not to add the recognition the committee called for to more students, but to simply eliminate the valedictorian and salutatorian.

I would suggest that Central should drop all of it's varsity sports programs. After all, when the athletes work hard, get in shape and learn the plays, they might beat someone. And we certainly don't want anyone to feel bad, do we?
