EH 5- MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD LUCILLE VON DOHLEN Lucille Von Dohlen was chosen by a committee of the faculty as the most outstanding student of the january class, and is to receive the meritorious award for her good work and cooperation in the school. Character, personality, scholastic record, and participation in the school activities are the basis for the selection by the judges. . She attended elementary school in North Bergen, and entered Dickinson Accredited Evening High School in September, 1931, taking the academic course. Her superior work endeared her to the members of the faculty, who found her to be not only bright, refined, quick, and intelligent, but reliable, anxious to help, and pleasant to all. She easily adapted herself to her surround- ings, and the many friends she has made are proof of her sportsmanship and superior qualities. She was an excellent leader and worked with a calm dignity that will be remembered by all those associated with her. She found time for many extra-curricular activities while maintaining her high scholastic standing. The Literary Club, of which she was a member for three years, elected her its President for two terms, and in addition, made her a member of the club's Executive Committee. For one term she was Exchange Editor of the Night Watch , and was a member of the Reception Committee for two years, serving as President for two terms. She also was actively engaged on the Prom Committee and the Pin and Ring Committee for the january Class. Miss Von Dohlen will continue her studies at Fordham University. We regret losing such an excellent student. The members of the Faculty, Senior Class and the student body extend their sincere congratulations and wishes for success in her future endeavors.
