SENIOR CITIZENSHIP AWARDS The annual award given by the D.A.R. and S.A.R. to the senior girl and boy chosen as the best citizens is an honor of exceptional merit. The two are selected by their qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The senior class of 1950 has selected Duska Grimes and Dan McCartney to be the recipients of this award. The Danforth foundation has also set aside funds to recognize potential qualities of leadership in young people and present them with copies of the inspirational book, I Dare You. The two students chosen from the graduating class this year are Jeanne Walton and Gene Ator. DUSKA GRIMES—Duska's ready smile and cheery Hello have made her known and liked by all the students of P.H.S. Her outstanding leadership is well demonstrated through her service in various offices. As president of the National Honor Society she proved more than capable. DAN McCARTNEY — He is simply following in the footsteps of the rest of his family, who won similar awards. No one can be glum or dull with Dan around to laugh and slap you on the back. It’s no wonder the senior class has had so much fun with him as its president. GENE ATOR — Gene is the type of boy teachers rarely find. He studies when he is told to, and his report card shows it. However, he isn't entirely serious for his infectious grin is a welcome sight in the halls of P.H.S. JEANNE WALTON—Although Jeanne is one of our red headed seniors she doesn't have the temper to match. Jeanne is well known for a superb imagination, displayed in her features foe Saukee Scoops. She certainly is deserving of this award, for her ambition coupled with her ability will send her far. 29
