BETTY CROCKER AWARD Every year the senior girls are required to take a Betty Crocker test to chose the Homemaker of Tomorrow. This year Judy Miller, one of the outstanding students at MHS, was chosen. We were all doubly proud of Judy when it was learned that she had been chosen the State Homemaker of Tomorrow. A 1500-dollar scholarship to the school of her choice and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D. C.. with Miss Grebner, the homemaking teacher, were her prizes for this honor. Again we take this opportunity to wish you many congratulations, Judy. 27
