These decals are round and measure a full<br />

We have a unique way of dealing<br />
with the “Tell America Program.”<br />
Instead of visiting classrooms,<br />
the chapter sponsors a <strong>Korean</strong><br />
<strong>War</strong> essay contest for area<br />
eighth graders. The cash prizes<br />
offered to the top three winners<br />
send the students to the history<br />
books, where they learn to<br />
appreciate the role of the military<br />
in a war they probably had no<br />
prior knowledge of.<br />
This year’s three winners once<br />
again came from the Midland<br />
Valley Preparatory School, making<br />
it two years in a row that<br />
school produced all three winners.<br />
First place was earned by Riley<br />
Lewis for a $100 prize. Michelle<br />
Nichols took second place for a<br />
$50 reward, and Shelby Hodge<br />
claimed $25 for her third place<br />
position.<br />
Chapter officers served as<br />
judges and were pleased with<br />
the amount of knowledge<br />
obtained by the students who<br />
submitted the essays.<br />
