Feb. 19—The Governor Bradford Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution held its annual luncheon on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at First Presbyterian Church in Danville.

The essays were then forwarded to the Chapter Committee to judge the essays. The winner received a $300 check from the Chapter and the essay will be forwarded on to the National Committee for another possible prize.
All students received a $100 check, pocket card and a National Good Citizens pin.
