Chosen as Girls' State representative for the year 1957 was Janet Aeby.

This year the Daughters of the American Revolution, with the help of the senior girls and the faculty, picked Priscilla Beech as the recipient of their award. Priscilla was chosen first by the senior girls out of 10 other nominees. Out of the 10 came six girls, and then the top three were chosen. The faculty then selected Priscilla out of the top three for her citizenship, scholar- ship, and cooperation with students and teachers. After Priscilla was chosen, she then studied for a United States history and civics test, which along with her application, was turned into the district chairman of the Daughters of the American Revolution. lf she wins the district contest, she receives a pin and a certificate, then she goes into state competition, where she can win 3100. For this she must write an essay. After this comes the national award, which may bring Priscilla a 53,000 scholarship. Because of early deadlines the results of Priscilla's progress into higher awards were not known. Members of the senior class and faculty members elected Priscilla Beech the winner of the DAR Award for 1957-58.
