HEAD OF THE CLASS
A 4.0 grade point average isn't easy to obtain. It's reserved for straight-A students. Southeast Missouri State University has a tradition of engraving those students' names on a plaque in Academic Hall. In the university's 128-year history, only 137 names have been engraved on the plaque. On Saturday, 19 undergraduates added their names to the list:
Michelle Bock, Old Appleton, Mo.
Jennifer Browning, West Frankfort, Ill.
Lynn Casteel, Jackson, Mo.
Joseph Crain, Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Daisey Diederich, Hartsburg, Mo.
Anne Hays, Cape Girardeau
Stephanie Hoffman, Bartlett, Tenn.
Erica Langlitz, New Athens, Ill.
Jonathan Lanman, Dupo, Ill.
Tobi Layton, Hesston, Kan.
Jennifer Long, DeSoto, Mo.
Julie Mattingly, Perryville, Mo.
Allison McGee, Bridgeton, Mo.
Michelle Moseley, Arnold, Mo.
