., 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.

Last Will and Testament Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers, and Friends: p Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1948, of Galatia Community High School, of the city of Galatia, State of Illinois, United States of America, we have called you together upon this solemn, serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in the cultivating of her own virtues, she did, collectively and individually deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends whose needs require them. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, and the unusual dis- turbance in its gray matter, she begs us to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory, but such things as she thinks she has, sfhe hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while we read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to. I, Margie. Williams, will my gum to anyone Who can chew it and get by With it.
