To Colene Brake, by unanimous vote of the high school faculty, was allotted the Honor Plaque Award for Scholarship, Loyalty, and Achievement. This award comes to Miss Colene because of her efficiency and helpfulness thruout the entire school; she always seemed to fit in anywhere needed and always was willing to do anything she could do to assist. Had the vote included all the teachers and student body it would have doubtless gone to her in the same unanimity.

Wonderful work this and if continued indicates that there will be some mighty fine grades made thru the coming years until graduation.
There are twenty of these graduates and when augmented by the students from the other schools which may send students to Carrollton next year it will mean a class of some real dimensions.
