Sherman is a shining example of what the March of Dimes can do. He had a bad case of polio, but now is almost completely well. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dell Adkins of Sias, and a member of the sophomore class. Since Sherman was King he was al- lowed to choose a Queen, and he has chosen petite Sue Bragg, a member of the freshman class, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Bragg of Palermo.
