Each of the eleven Wayne County accredited public high schools has named one senior from the Class of 1999 to represent the respective school in the annual Colonel William Prescott Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen competition. Those selected submit: 1) a resume of his/her scholarship, honors, interests, activities, personal qualities of positiveness in life and goals for the future (prepared at home, 50%); 2) a handwritten essay on the assigned topic using no reference materials within two-hour limit, in the presence of a faculty member or a DAR member (50%). Judges evaluate the legibility, correct grammar, proper spelling and punctuation of both parts and the originality and historical accuracy of the latter. Annette Harris of Sodus and Sherry Williams of Newark were judges this year.

The students pictured were chosen because they reflect to an admirable degree the qualities defined by the DAR as those of a Good Citizen: DEPENDABILITY (truthfulness, honesty, punctuality...); SERVICE (cooperation, helpfulness, responsibility...); LEADERSHIP (personality, self-control, initiative); and PATRIOTISM (unselfish loyalty to American ideals).

WHAT'S NEXT...
These Good Citizens may each select two guests to attend the DAR luncheon meeting at the chapter House in Newark on March 17. first, second and third place winners will be revealed and awards made. Advancement to the state and ultimately the national DAR Good Citizen level is a prestigious honor.
