ID. c. GIRL WINS
d. A. R. HONOR IN
SCHOOL STUDIES.
Helen Bell Will Meet
Other Best Students

Washington's outstanding high
school girl waited anxiously today
to meet her other outstanding girl
students from all parts of the
country.
She is Miss Helen Marie Bell,
daughter of the Rev. William w.
Bell, of 1853 lockwood Parkway.
Spring Valley. Miss Bell is the
local representative In the Good
Cit zen S h / p Pilgrimage of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton convention.
TOUR OF CAPITAL
Tomorrow the outstanding high
school girls from the 48 States
will tour the city and Saturday
will meet Mrs. Roosevelt.
Miss Bell is the local representa-.
tive, but she has probably seen
more of the world than any of
her sister winners of the D. A. r..
honor.
Daughter Of a missionary in
India, she received most of her
education in the far away coun-
try. Coming here two years ago,
she enrolled in Western High
School. Now, a senior at l6. she
IS an honor pupil there.
SELF.EDUCATED
Constant interruption of her
studies to accompany her father
to missionary posts failed to af-
feet Miss Bells scholastic aptitude.
She educated herself in great part,
and received help from her father
when formal teaching was not
available.
