Students view state government in action In May of 1968, seven juniors were selected to represent CCJHS at Girls and Boys State. Seven alternates were also named. These outstanding class members were thus given the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and theory of government, make new friendships, and increase their appetite to learn more about their country and state. Daily convocations were both informative and in- teresting, as such speakers as Mayor Lugar of In- dianapolis and Lieutenant Governor Robert Rock re- counted personal experiences and expressed beliefs. Boys State met the first week in June at Indiana University. Three weeks later. Girls State convened. The delegates found that each week, which was sac- rificed from their summer vacations, was very re- warding. ALTER. A r£5— (FRONT ROW) Dehhie .Sanders. Sandv Schroder (SECOND ROW) Richard Redman.

It is virtually tradition that, each year a number of seniors at CCJHS are honored for their achievements and accomplishments, and 1968-69 was no exception. As the DAR Citizenship Award winner, a committee from the local chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution chose Miss Phyllis Niccum. Citizenship and academic achievement were two major considera- tions in determining the recipient of the award. Phyllis also received a Letter of Commendation for her excel- lent scores on the National Merit Scholarship Qualify- ing Test, which she took in her junior year. Twenty-seven students from CCJHS were selected as scholarship semi-finalists, or continuing candidates by the Indiana State Scholarship Commission. Because of their class rank and their Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, they were able to enter further competition for the several scholarships to be awarded. Miss Penny Schaefer was chosen as the local Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. By means of her high score on the written test, she was eligible for a college scholarship, and also had the opportunity to advance to state competition. The Future Farmers of America chose Miss Charleen Bennett as the FFA Sweetheart of 1968-69. She also reigned at the Valentines Dance as Valentines Sweet- heart. Charleen Bennett holds the Sweetheart title Jor the Future Farmers of America and the Valentines Dance. Phyllis yiccum received the DAR Citizenship Award and also com- mendation for her high scores on the National Merit Scholarship Test.
