They are marked on the back of the pictures, both the boys and the girls, as you sug- gested. It was my pleasure to be selected as judge and it was, of course, a diffi- cult choice to make, because if it were up to me, all of the boys and girls should be winners. But since I have to select just five out of such a Wonderful group, these are my selections My very best wishes, Sincerely ' PERRY COMO PC:ar Enc 7 nnual Staff T9 fr: , 1, - -W- V 'V' TN 4,4-V 4 ,riff -41...
