' THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION GOOD CITIZENSHIP AWARD Each year the D. A.

A quiet, unassuming lad Always happy, never sad. A blond, teen-age girl who is desirous of a small but important part of the United States Navy. Always cheerful, always bright Always there to make things right. Sleep, the bringer of pleasant visions. Not a flower, not a pearl But just a quiet little girl. Photo Jim he was called in dem days. If anyone knows an easy way to get out of work, Harold thought of it first. Gifted with numerous abilities, she plays a prominent part in senior life. A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In springtime from the cuckoo-bird. Keith is one of the biggest fellows in the class in size, ability, and popularity. Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky. Doesn't say much but blushes at the opportune time. Her eyes are deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at evening. Avid reader of the finest literature Ccomic magazines a specialty.D All great women are dying, and I'm not feeling so well. Ever a friend of all Winter, summer, spring, and fall. A smile you always seem to see But very seldom hear. Subtle wiles are in her smiles. Eyes so black you seldom see. A man of knowledge. He sees all, tells all, and knows nothing. CBut don't believe ALL we tell you.D Bashful, blond, beguiling. A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye. ..l1..
