CITIZENSHIP Each year the D.A.R. and S.A.R. present good citizenship awards to a senior boy and girl. This award is one of the high honors that comes to a senior, since they are selected on qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The seniors chose Agnes and Bill McCartney to be the recipients of these awards. BILL McCARTNEY — Bill is classed as an all-around swell fellow and is considered tops by everyone. He is one who gets things done and does them well. Although always with a cheery smile on his face he can be serious, too, and often comes up with the right answer in class when the rest of us are sitting there quite bewildered. Mac is a tough customer on the football field, and has combined athletic ability with interest in Agriculture. If you need any information about farming or farm mechanics, just ask him. Bill has the kind of personality that has kept him at the top during high school years. AGNES McCARTNEY—Agnes is one of our charming seniors who is well liked for her captivating personality. Her pleasant disposition and warm smile for everyone have won her many friends. Her beautiful black tresses are the envy of the gals around P.C.H.S. She is a member of the National Honor Society and has worked long and hard as Assistant Editor on the Saukee” yearbook. Agnes has outstanding qualities in leadership and has made a very capable G.A.A. president. Besides all these, her ability extends to the classroom where she majors in high grades. 28
