Gladys Allen Trophy Because she exemplified throughout her high school career skill and sportsmanship in athletics, Gladys Tebo was awarded the Gladys Allen Memorial Trophy at the Honors assembly May 26. For three years Gladys has participated in all types of sports. She was a member of her class basketball team as a sophomore and junior, and she captained the senior squad. ln swimming she was equally prominent, having won first place in diving in this year's meet. For three years she has played volley- ball and baseball, and was in charge, not only of volleyball but also of tennis for the Sports Coun- cil this year. An all-around athlete, Gladys has well lived up to the require- ments of this trophy, given in memory of Gladys Allen, who would have graduated with the class of 1936 and who played the game, not for the honor to be gained but for the love of it. This is the third year that the award has been made. lt was won by Helmi Mannesto last year and by Mary VanBuskirk in 1937. Gertrude Hills Trophy Having displayed a spirit of genuine friendliness, a fine attitude of cooperation, an unfailing sense of responsibility, and a capacity for loyal service, Kathleen McCormick of the class of 1939 has been awarded the Gertrude Hills Mem- orial Trophy, which is given annually to the senior girl who, during her high school career. has best exemplified the ideals of true iyoung womanhood for which Miss Ger- trude Hills stood. Ranking in the upper one-third of her class, Kathleen has achieved a scholastic record which, combined with other necessary qualities, has earned her election to the National Hon- ' or Society. Kathleen's interest in varied school activities became apparent when she was in the seventh grade. At that time she joined the library staff. where she has served for the past six years. Another early interest was speech, an activity in which she has achieved particular recogni- tion. Participating in declama- tion and in extempore speaking. she has won first place three times in local and twice in sub- district competition, and once in the final district contest. She has been an outstanding debater for two years and has served one year as secretary and one year as president of the local chapter of the National Forensic League. ln addition, she has coached class debate teams and has con- Page three tributed much to the development of Speech Club through her work on the social and program committees. Kathleen has been an efficient member of the Student Council and of the Keynote staff and has ably assisted the dean of girls, especially through her leadership during the annual Girls' Conference. ln her junior year, she was elected to Colonnade, girls' service club, an organization which made definite progress during Kathleen's presidency of the group. During the past year Kathleen's classmates have paid tribute to her fine attributes of character by selecting her as the senior girl worthy of receiving the Good Citizenship Medal presented by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Cup of1923 Excelling in scholarship, character, leadership, and ser- vice to his school, LeRoy Kolin of the class of 1939 is this year's winner of the Cup of 1923. The award was made at the annual Honors assembly May 26. LeRoy's scholastic achievement is evidenced by the fact that he ranks fourth in his class and by his recent election to the National Honor Society. Genuine interest and ability in music have prompted LeRoy to do outstanding work in that department. ln ad- dition to excelling in regular band and orchestra classes, he has serv- ed as librarian of the bland and as librarian and assistant director of the orchestra. He has also been an active participant in the dance and German band groups. His musical accomplishment won re- cognition this spring when he be- came recipient of the Harriet Pear- son trophy, which is awarded for excellence in violin. To home room, club, and class projects, LeRoy has given marked service. He has been vice president and program committee chairman of his home room and has served as treasurer and as vice president of his class. His efforts to help lead his class successfully have been untiring. As chairman of sev- eral important committees, he has worked efficiently and has contributed materially to the success of such major ac- tivities as class parties and the junior prom. Since LeRoy plans to enter the school of engineering of the University of Michigan, he has been an especially ac- tive member of Mathematics Club and Science Club. His interest in forensics has been demonstrated by a year's work in Speech Club and by two years of activity on class and reserve debate teams. Standing consistently for the highest ideals of young manhood, LeRoy has contributed definitely to Hi-Y, where he has headed the program committee for two years. As a fitting culmination of his activity in the field of journalism, LeRoy has climaxed his work on the Keynote staff by serving as co-editor of this senior edition.

,aaaea eww ay 1939 Evening News Trophy As the senior who for two years has done outstanding work on the Keynote, Victor Harrison, business manager of Sault High's bi-weekly publication, was awarded the Evening News Journalism Trophy for 1939. Victor's duties on the Keynote were numerous. As head of the business staff he helped to select the staff members, took charge of staff meetings, as- signed advertising prospects to stu- dent solicitors, helped train new members, directed the flow of ad- vertising to see that neither too much nor too little was secured for each issue, took ad copy to the printer, proof read the copy, oversaw the circulation of the paper on the day of issue, super- vised the making of collections, and saw to it that accurate records of receipts and expenditures were kept. Of Victor, Mr. G. T. Butler, business adviser, said, These duties were fulfilled cheerfully and capably. Among the seven members of the business staff he consistently led in the securing of advertising, having obtained more than one-third of all the advertising sold during the year. His leadership was evidenced by a smoothly running staff which seldom merited criticism or had to be coaxed or prodded. The Evening News Trophy was presented to the school in 1932 by George A. Osborn, editor and publisher of the Evening News. It is given each year to the student who for two years has done tfhe most for the school newspaper. Last year the plaque was won by Ruth Cullis. D. A. R. Medal For the first time in 'Sault Ste. Marie, the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award was presented to Kathleen McCormick at the Honors assembly May 26. Miss Leila Rice, regent of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, made the presentation, an engraved pin. Kathleen was chosen for this honor last fall when the senior class and a faculty committee voted for her as a candidate on the basis of dependability, service, leadership. and patriotism. Outstanding in speech work, Kathleen has competed in speech contests for six years, winning in both local and sub-district competition. This year she won the dis- trict championship in extempore speaking. She has also been a member of class and varsity debate teams. During her years in high school Kathleen has been prominent in many other school affairs. She served as class secretary, Forensic League president, Colonnade president, president and secretary of the library staff, and member of Student Council for ,two years. She was a delegate to the Girls' Conference for two years and led a discussion group both times. Besides her school activities, Kathleen is active in church work. Violin Plaque Judged as the most deserving this year by a committee composed of Earl P. Thomas. music supervisor, and a group of music students, LelRoy Kolin will be the first to have his name engraved on the new Harriet Pearson Violin Trophy. The plaque is to be given to the best violinist who has shown most progress during the year. LeRoy has been an active member of the orchestra for two years and has taken lessons during all that time. He is also one of Mr. Thomas's ablest assistants. Harriet Pearson, donor of the plaque, was graduated from Sault High in 1938. For many years she played the violin. and was concert mistress of the orchestra. She was also leader of the girls' sextet last year. Harriet is now in nurses' training in a Canadian hospital. Mr. Thomas presented the award in behalf of Harriet, who was unable to attend the Honors assembly. Scholarship Award To Harold Ely of the class of 1939, an alumni under- graduate scholarship was awarded 'by the University of Michigan recently. Harold was one of the 97 high school seniors from every part of the state to receive the award. Candidates for the scholarship were chosen by the local U. of M. Club scholarship board, which was composed this year of Alfred Davis, Principal Foss Elwyn, Superin- tendent G. G. Malcolm, and George A. Osborn. Scholar- ship, qualities of character and personality, and financial need were points considered in the selection. After the candidates made formal application to Dean Clarence S. Yoakum of the University of Michigan, each one took a written examination, which, with the informa- tion supplied by the committee, determined who should win the awards. The scholarship has a value of approximately S110 a year and can be retained throughout a four year course provided the candidate maintains a satisfactory scholastic average. Harold plans to enter the U. of M. next fall. 1939 Memorial Two silk flags with standards are to be the gift of the class of 1939 to Sault High School as a class memorial. The banners, the national one and that of the State of Michigan, are to be about the same size as the present ones which the new banners will replace in the auditorium. The seniors chose this gift after considering another electric scoreboard for the gymnasium, a score board for the athletic field, steel backboards for the gym, a recorder, and a nickelodeon. Feast - Girls Only Members of the Bowating Club will again entertain the girl graduates of Sault High and the Loretto Academy at a banquet at the Hotel 'Ojibway on June 8 at 6:30 p.m. 1Miss Josephine Galloway, second vice president of t-he Business and Professional Women's Club and a graduate nurse at St. Luke's hospital in Marquette, will be the main speaker.
