CITIZENSHIP AWARD MARY J. BROWN WAYNE WILLARD ROBERT ELEANOR THOMAS ZIMMERMAN Each year the D.A.R. and the S.A.R. recognize the outstanding boy and girl—outstanding in those traits which classify them as good worth-while citizens. The two pupils chosen from the 1944 graduating class were Mary Jo Brown and Wayne Willard. For the past five years The Danforth Foundation has also set aside funds to recognize potential qualities of leadership in young people. The Foundation is incorporated solidly for educational, charitable, religious, and humanitarian purposes and to stimulate young people to purposeful living. For that reason a copy of the inspirational book, I Dare You, is presented to the two pupils chosen for this award. Eleanor Thomas and Robert Zimmerman are the two who are to receive this recognition. Twenty-seven

SAUKEE SCOOPS STANDING L to R: W. Willard. Miss Lee, B. L. Rowe. BACK ROW: R. Zimmerman. E. Akin, H. Golden, D. Voshall, B. Barber, F. Huff, B. Creech. FRONT ROW: J. Dinsmore, V. Williams, B. Cannon, I. E. Fish, N. Sallee, P. Proctor, T. Knox. Editor............................Wayne Willard Assistant Editor..................Betty Lew Rowe Sponsor..................................Miss Lee The Saukee Scoops staff was composed of members of the second hour Creative English class. The co-editor with the aid of Miss Lee, the sponsor, chose the other members of the staff for their respective positions. Besides the regular weekly issue of news, the staff sponsored a special Christmas edition in which appeared original poems, stories, and editorials, about Christmas as well as the news. Eleanor Akin designed a most attractive and appropriate cover page for this edition. There were several new features in the Saukee Scoops this year and some of the old features were omitted. Another new practice was to have the news in by Thursday, so it would be ready to go to the newspaper on Friday. The members of the Saukee Scoops staff are truly grateful to Miss Lee for her helpful and untiring efforts in making the Saukee Scoops a better newspaper. We wish the staff of next year all the luck in the world. Twenty-nine
