BULLETIN ust Kathy Heiner’s trial before many judges, counselors, and mothers did not lessen her enthusiasm for the D.A.R. citizenship contest in which she represented B.L.

Chosen by the faculty, Kathy studied current events and the citizenship manual distributed to U.S. immigrants in preparation for the contest. Kathy and her mother traveled to Salt Lake on the appointed day. There, the fourteen candidates met in the University Union Building. After introductions, each girl individually appeared before the judging committee to demonstrate poise and knowledge of the Constitution, world problems, and the concerns of modern youth. Lunch in a special dining room followed the interviews. During the meal, representatives from the Daughters of the American Revolution announced three top debaters from Granite, Ogden and Murray high schools as the winners. Kathy and each of the other representatives received @ certificate and a pin to commemorate the day. and ideas ed. for this year.
