Senior Dusty Patterson is in
the student spotlight this week.
He is the son of Scott and Dana
Patterson of Electra, and has
attended Harrold School for five
years. During these years he has
participated in football, cross-
country, track, wrestling, been
a PAL member and is presently
on the Hornet yearbook staff.
In his spare time he enjoys
weight lifting, reading comic
books and working on his
ISSA certification for being
a fitness trainer. Patterson
has been favorite and vice
president for his class. Riding
a horse is his favorite means
of transportation, and any
health food would satisfy his
hunger. History is his choice of
school subjects and he enjoys
wrestling above all sports.
His special quote is one
by Thomas Hunter: "He who
