MASSILLON ‒ The annual Rose Ceremony announcing the candidates for Washington High School's Miss Massillonian and Outstand Senior Boys was held Dec. 8.

Twenty-four seniors were selected from around 90 eligible students. Fifty-two of those students wrote an essay required to be considered.

Seniors eligible for the honor must maintain a 3.3 grade-point average.

Those chosen are selected based on involvement in extracurricular activities throughout their high school career, a vote by fellow seniors and their essay.

The tradition began in 1940 when Carol Bell was selected by Bing Crosby as the school’s first Miss Massillonian. Outstanding Senior Boy was not added until many years later.

The next step in the competition is the formal assembly on April 5. During the assembly, candidates will answer a randomly selected question in front of a panel of judges, peers and family.

The winner of the titles will be announced during the end-of-the-year awards ceremony in May.
