Fourth annual observance
Girl Scout leaders honored
The typical Girl Scout leader
used to be thought of as a mother
of small children and a full-time
homemaker. But not in 1985.
Today’s Girl Scout leader can
be a working mother or a senior
citizen, a single career woman or
an “empty nester” whose child-
ren are grown. She, or he, can
hold a Ph.D. in economics, be a
full-time student or work at any
occupation.
What all these women and
men must be, however, is
energetic, intelligent and suppor-
tive of the diverse group of girls
who make up today’s typical Girl
Scout troop, girls 6-17 years of
age.
To show their appreciation for
all the love, generosity, skill and
energy of local Girl Scout lead-
ers, the Girl Scouts of Palacios
will join with sister Girl Scouts .in
thousands of communities acfhss
the U.S.A. on April 22 to
celebrate the fourth annual ob-
servance of Girl Scout Leader's
Day.
Palacios Girl Scouts are plann-
ing all kinds of happy events to
honor their leaders on this
special day. And they hope the
whole community will join them
in their daylong salute.
Local leaders are Dee Kroner,
.Clara Flower, Claudette Haw-
kins, Laura Aoughsten, Patricia
Walker, Karen Bishop, Mitzi
Malone and Sally Sharp.
Liane Hester places first at State FHA event
Liane Hester, a freshman at
Palacios High School, was recen-
tly awarded first place in the
junior division-illustrated Talks
at the state Future Homemakers
of America Proficiency Events
held April 12 at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel in Houston.
Liane's speech on child safety
restraints earned her a gold
medal and plaque presented at
the State FHA meeting on April
13.
Liane's speech was illustrated
by slides and posters depicting
various aspects of child safety
restraints. Included in her speech
was the recent legislation passed
regarding child safety restraints.
FHA members participating in
the illustrated talks event gave
speeches five to 10 minutes in
length on a topic related to an
area of study in home economics.
The topic should have been one
that is a concern of youth and the
presenter, reflected current so-
cial or economic issues, and
could be addressed by an FHA/
HERO chapter.
Liane will advance to the
national level for competition.
She will present her speech at the
National Future Homemakers cf
America meeting to be held July
7-12 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
