This girl is se- lected on the basis of four good qualities which are desirable in the making of a good citizen: Dependability-Truthfulness-Honestly-Punctuality Service-Cooperation-Helpfulness--Responsibility Leadership-Personality-Self Control-Initiative Patriotism-Unselhsh Loyalty to American Ideals Each student in the senior class may vote on three girls, whom they believe are best qualified as good citizens on the basis of the four points named. From the three girls receiving the highest number of votes, the faculty selects one girl to represent the school as our good citizen. Her name is sent to the Dixon Chapter of the D. A. R. and in turn to the D. A. R. headquar- ters. A drawing of one name in the spring, from the names of all the girls chosen in the state is made to decide who the good citizen representative from Illinois will be. Likewise, there are representatives from each of the forty-eight states for the good citizenship pilgrimage. In normal times the pilgrimage is given to the winning girl with all expenses paid by the national society. This year the winning girl will receive proper recognition, the award depend- ing on travel conditions, at the time Continental Congress is held. We, the seniors of 1946, are proud to add Lola Jeanne Keckler's name to the past winners of the D. A. R. award in Polo Community High School. C79
