AS a preliminary to the D.A.R.
Delaware Good Citizenship Contest
to choose the leading school citizen
from among the senior girls in the
high schools of the state, the
Smyrna faculty today named Miss
Betty Lou Carrow as the outstand-
ing local girl to compete for state
honors. Miss Carrow, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Carrox of
Smyrna, was one of three nominees
chosen by the senior class. The
other nominees were Blanche
Kemp and Emma Rosengren. Each

leaders were then ranked by the
secondary school faculty on the
basis of dependability, school SER
vice, leadership and patriotism.
The winner of state honors will
be determined by committee
headed by Mrs. H. o. Morris of
Newark.
