Pick "NameIess Heroine"
In the award to the bravest Girl
Scout in Greater New York novel-pres-
entation was made. Unable at the last
moment to select one from the many

chosen at random from the spectators,
who was to hold the medal in trust for
the real heroine to whom it finally is to
be awarded.
The girl chosen was blonde school
girl who wore a white mask and success
fully concealed her identity throughout
the ceremonies.
