AWARDS TO SENIORS The Danforth Foundation has also set aside funds to recognize potential qualities of leadership in young people and present copies of the inspirational book I Dare You to the two seniors selected by the graduating class for this award. The two seniors chosen this year were Lois Ann McGreevy and Bob Brace. LOIS ANN McGREEVY —Long brown hair, big blue eyes, and a unique laugh are associated with Lois Ann. She's one of those vivacious girls who never tire and are lots of fun to be with. Lois is as cute as a minute, and about as big as one too, and did you ever notice those bright eyes and dimples, especially when Russ is near? She is a member of the National Honor Society and Senior Editor on the Annual Staff. She is always sweet to everyone, even the teachers, and one of the most likeable girls in school. Ai BOB BRACE — Bo-Bo, as he is usually called by his friends, enjoys eating, sleeping, and leisure living to the fullest extent. Bob has a sense of humor extraordinary and is always ready for a good time. He is an active participant in football, a member of the National Honor Society, and one of the best class presidents we have ever had. For variety in the classroom, Bob can always be counted on. Unusual ability brings up unusual answers. Bob has all the qualifications one needs to win friends and influence people. With all this he's bound to be somebody in the future. 29

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
