All rights reserved http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************** This below answers some of my previous questions about how our "MISS DAR" was selected. Now to find the missing years and names! MISS DAR (From "The Blue Devils' Den") The annual Good Citizen Award, given by the Daughters of the American Revolution, is a coveted honor among the senior girls in high school. The contest, sponsored by the National DAR Organization, is under the direction of the Thomas Wynne Chapter in Hunt County with Mrs. Charlton McGaughey, Chairman, and Mrs. J. J. Handley, Regent. Each school’s Good Citizen will receive a good citizen pin from the local chapter. The State DAR Organization will award a $100.00 government bond in addition to a state and national pin to the state winner. The outstanding girl of the senior class is selected by the following procedure: The senior class of each four years high school shall select by vote three senior girls who posses the following qualities to an outstanding degree: Dependability, truthfulness, loyal, punctuality. Service—cooperation, courtesy, consideration of others Leadership—personality, self-control, ability to assume responsibility Patriotism—unselfish interest in family, school, community, and nation Scholarship—creditable grades in all subjects 2. By November 1, 1957, the faculty shall select from these three girls one who shall be named to represent the school as a Good Citizen. The candidate from Celeste High School is Miss Marie Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Carter, RR 2, Greenville, Texas. Marie will be the eighth member of her family to graduate from Celeste High School. Seven brothers, Joe Carter, Howard Carter, Dalton Carter, Billy Carter, Raymond Carter, Donald Carter, and Albert Carter have received diplomas from Celeste. During high school days, Marie has received many honors. She has held offices in the FHA, has been class favorite, has been candidate for the Lions Sweetheart twice, resided over the guest book at the Junior-Senior Prom her sophomore year, has been a member of the Halloween Court, class reporter, is now co-editor of the school news, and is on the staff of the yearbook. Marie has participated in basketball, tennis, volleyball, and softball. In the pep squad, she has been an asset, serving two years as squad member, one year as flag bearer, and two years as cheerleader. Marie is an attractive, charming girl, popular with both students and faculty. We congratulate her in her new role of Miss DAR. (November 8, 1957, The Celeste Courier)
