., a f D. A. H. Award Betty June Perdue was chosen by the faculty members and the student body for the honor of receiving the D. A. R. Good Citizenship award. The award is given annually by the Daughters of the American Revolution to Senior girls who have been found to excel in the qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. The project's aim is to build youthful character and to call attention to those qualities which are desirable in good citizenship. Phyllis Ann Weaver, Betty Abney, Lou Ellen Ray, Hazel Hedges, Virginia Rice and Rosemary Triplett were also candidates for the award. Girls selected as Good Citizens were this year entertained at the state conference of D. A. R. which met in Peoria in March. From this group on girl was chosen Illinois Pilgrim. The winning Pilgrims from the 48 states, as guests of the National Society, shared a pilgrimage of inspiration, education and pleasure to the Continental Congress at Washington, D. C., with all expenses paid by D .A. R.

.. . vdwup- -.X--A 4' - we- f--..-n ..-1-5-.. 3 Fila, ' Class Prophecy Carl Griffiths has retained his love for sports. He is a coach in one of the eastern colleges. Hazel Hedges lives with her husband on a farm near Thompsonville. They have two lovely children. And, what is more, they have two productive oil wells on their farm! Pat Jackson is the society editor of a new magazine. I believe the name of it is Spring Breezes . The children of Mexico City are fortunate to have Jean Jones among them as a social worker. She is employed by the Mexican government. Gratton Karns, Amos Kent, and James Thompson have formed the Triple Corporation. They manufacture men's ties, using soybeans and sour milk. ' The minister in our class is Harold Kielhcrn. He has charge of a large church in Atlanta, Georgia. Logan Libby and Richard Wigart have taken up magic. Logan is president of the Magicians Union, and Richard is his secretary. I wonder how many rabbits they have found in their hats! Charlene Mitchell and Doris Talkington own and operate a bakery. Their specialty is apple pie. Soon after graduation, Eugene Mott went to Texas. He is a senator in that state and also editor of one of Houston's large newspapers. Betty Perdue certainly took advantage of her training on the Galatian staff. She is becoming a well known writer. Her latest book is Sunshine and Shadows . Mary Pingleton is employed as a dietician by the American Medical Society. She is now stationed at Costa Rica studying the rights and wrongs in the diets of the natives. Ellen Ray is quite well known for her comic strip, now carried by the leading newspaper of Richmond, Virginia. Virginia Rice and her husband own a skating rink in Galatia. It is a favorite place for the G. C. H. S. students to spend their leisure time. I Bob and Dale Upchurch are outstanding horticulturists. By experimentation and scientific methods, the deserts will now become garden spots of the world. The new plant foods, resulting from their experimental workjwill improve the w-orld's food supply. A And who is the skiing star of Sun Valley, Idaho? None other than Phyllis Weaver. Although Phyllis entered journalism, she has time for her favorite sport. Margie Williams travels for Look Magazine. Recently she returned from South America where she had gone to get some picture material on Indian life in the Andes. But I must not make this letter too long. And anyway, I expect to see you soon. f ' ' Lovingiy, Rose-mary Triplett
