MISS DOROTHY DAVIS, LEADING SENIOR, GETS READER'S DIGEST AWARD

Dorothy Davis, valedictorian of the graduating class at Hernando High School, has been given the Annual Award of The Reader's Digest Association for students who by their successful school work give promise of attaining leadership in the community, it was announced by H. L. Jones, principal.

Miss Davis will receive an honorary subscription to the Reader's Digest for one year and an engraved certificate from the Editors, "in recognition of past accomplishment and in anticipation of unusual achievement to come."

The Reader's Digest Association has presented these awards yearly in senior high schools throughout the United States and Canada to the highest honor student of the graduating class. The awards are part of the educational program sponsored by the Association and were a logical outgrowth of the wide use of The Reader's Digest in school work.

With the collaboration of leading educators supplements to the magazine, containing guides for reading improvement and aids to effective speech and compositions are made available to schools and colleges.

The award to Miss Davis, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Davis of 309 East Jefferson Street, was made possible through the cooperation of Mr. Jones and his teaching staff. They selected Miss Davis to receive the award, designed to stimulate scholarship, citizenship, and continued contact with good reading after graduation.
