FAIRBANKSANS WIN HOMEMAKING HONORS
By Mary Halm
Two best friends, Cynthia |
Leap and Jo Anne Wyatt, Mon
roe High School, are Fairbanks
winners in the 1962 Betty j
Crocker Search for the Ameri
can Homemaker of Tomorrow.
The girls, who are seniors at
their respective schools, now
become eligible along with girls ;
all over the State and country
for one of 102 scholarships total
ing $110,000.
Each of these girls scored highest
ip her school in the knowledge and
attitude examination given senior
girls December 5. The paper of each
now is being considered, along with
the papers of winners in other State
high schools for the title of State
Homemaker of Tomorrow.
I
This winner will be announced j
this spring and will receive a $1,500 1
scholarship from General Mills,
sponsor of the program. A $500
award will go to the second high
est ranking State Homemaker of
Tomorrow.
Trip for Winners
Later, State Homemakers of To
morrow with their advisors will en
joy an expense-paid educational
tour of New York City, Washing
ton, DC., and colonial Williams
burg. Virginia, to culminate with the '
naming of the 1962 All-American ;
Homemaker of Tomorrow May 3 at '
a banquet in Williamsburg.
The national winner's scholarship
will increase to $5,000 with second,
third and fourth place winners re
ceiving $4,000, $3,000 and $2,000
scholarships, respectively.
The homemaking test, prepared
and scored by Science Research As
sociates, Chicago, provides the
basis for selection of local and
state Homemakers of Tomorrow,
with personal observation and inter
views as added factors in national
judging.
Miss Wyatt, ag^ 18 and daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn E. Wyatt,
322 10th, plans to attend college
and major in science and chemistry,
possibly combining it with home
economics for studies in textiles.
Lots of Experience
Helping care fof her five younger
sisters has provided her with a lot
of homemaking experience, she says.
An active senior, Jo Anne is co
editor of her school yearbook, stu
dent body secretary, president of
the honor society and a member of
chorus.
She also enjoys oil painting and
this winter has taken up skiing. She
and her family came to Fairbanks
about 18 months ago from Tennes
see after her father’s retirement
from the Army. Although she has
traveled a great deal, she thought
it would be really “neat to win the
State award and trip to the east
coast.”
Jo Anne explained that she and
Cynthia were quite surprised and
pleased over the coincidence that
they were both named in the con
test since they are “best frie ids.”
Cynthia, who is 17, is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Roderick Leap,
225 Adler.
Academic Course
She, like her friend, is taking a
general academic high school course
with future plans directed at col
lege. She would like to major in
English.
A senior at Lathrop High, Cynthia
is kept pretty busy with her school
work. She assists a great deal in the
housework as her mother works.
“My four brothers give me lots of
home economic experience” she said.
Miss Leap enjoys sewing and is
currently "thinking about a coat
for spring.”
Although she was born iiv Cali
fornia, she has lived in Fairbanks
4Vb years, and will probably go to
the University of Alaska or attend
school in California.
“If I win the state contest, it
would be wonderful. I’ve always
wanted to visit Williamsburg, Vir
ginia.” Cynthia exclaimed.
