Six local high school students were honored Feb. 3 by the Daughters of the American Revolution Acalanes Chapter after being selected from their high schools for their citizenship by their high school counselors and named their school's DAR Good Citizen. The students selected had the following qualities: dependability (which includes truthfulness, loyalty, and punctuality); service (which includes cooperation, courtesy, and consideration of others); leadership (which includes personality, self-control, and ability to assume responsibility); and patriotism (which includes unselfish interest in family, school, community and nation) to an outstanding degree.
The students wrote essays titled "How has America Advanced the Cause of Freedom in the Rest of the World?" and recited to the audience of parents and family members, as well as to Acalanes DAR members and some their counselors Feb. 3 at the Lafayette Veterans Building. Everyone was impressed with the students' public speaking skills. Each young woman was awarded a flag that was flown over the Capitol in her honor, a certificate and a scholarship check. Janet Seung Won Lee from Miramonte was selected as the chapter essay winner.
Assemblywoman Catharine Baker congratulated the young women and gave them an award certificate. A luncheon followed in the students' honor.
