Clinton Boy Makes Perfect
Score On Air Force Exam
A Clinton boy has accomplished a feat that oc
curs very rarely — in fact, once in approximately
10,000 occasions.
He is Tony Windsor, 1966 graduate of Clinton
High School, and he made a perfect score in every
ilrea on the Air Force airman’s qualification ex
amination.
S-Sgt. Bill Outen of the Air Force recruiting
office in Greenville, who recruited the young man,
was high in his praise of Windsor. It was he who
told of the rareness of the feat. Sgt. Outen said
that Windsor was also administered the armed
forces examination in Charlotte, N. C., coming up
with a score of 98 out of a possible 100..
Windsor is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl S.
Windsor of L>16 E. Carolina Ave.
