Grandview received awards;
Donna and the other entrants
received gifts.
Moving here with her family
in March of ’63 from Hale Cen-
ter, Donna had lettered in bas-
ketball her seventh and eight-
grade years and had played on
the A-team her freshman year.
“It was so big I just knew
I’d never be able to find my way
around,” was Donna's first im-
pression of Cleburne High.
The 15-year-old likes to cook,
sew and read. She is presently
a second-year member of Fut-
ure Homemakers of America,
having served in Hale Center.
“Becoming Cleburne’s FFA
sweetheart was the first big hon-
or I have ever received.” she
exclaims.
Donna will attend the Parent
and Son Banquet later this sem-
ester as another duty in her roll
as sweetheart.

81 Per Cent of Students Suggest
No Woman as Chief Executive
by Debbie Brown
“No person, except a natural-
born citizen . . . shall be eli-
gible to the office of President;
neither shall any person be eli-
gible to that office, who shall
not have attained the age of
35 years, and been 14 years a
resident within the United
States,” says Article II, Sec-
tion I of the Constitution of the
United States of America.
In its 181 years this nation
has never had a female presi-
dent. For the 1964 presidential
campaign, Mrs. Margaret Chase
Smith is seeking the nomination.
Mrs. Smith is a 66-year-old
“middle-of-the-road” Republican.
She was the first female Re-
publican senator and is now a
potential presidential candidate.
Although the Constitution does
not eliminate women from pol-
itics or presidential office, many
individuals feel this way. Of 128
junior and senior civics stu-
dents questioned, 81 per cent
were against a woman presi-
dent; 16 per cent were in fa-
vor; and 3 per cent were un-
decided.
Twenty-one per cent of the
girls and 11 per cent of the
boys agree with this thought.
Some even go deeper in Mrs.
Smith’s personal qualifications.
Has Made History
“If 1 thought
she could ful-
fill responsi-
bilities of the
presidency in
a manner
which would
uphold the
Constitution, I
. would vote for
her,” ex-
plains James
Crawford, Ri-
ley senior.
Riho' Senior
Gary, Rogers
agrees, “To, t
me, the wel- Crawford

fare of the country is more im- )
portant than individual charac- |
teristics."
“She is one of the most ca-
pable people in the Senate and
is well able to perform the job
of president. She has made his-
tory by showing enough cour-
age as a well-educated, qualified
woman to run for the presi-
dency,” expresses Dian Gamble,
Barton senior.
Many represent a more prac-
tical view as expressed by the
following two girls.
Practical Aspects
“There are greater reasons >
than her age, experience and
political party beliefs that would
keep me from voting for her. In
other countries women are still
looked down upon. Think of what
foreign leaders would think of
a woman president. They would
think we had lost our minds!"
exclaims Senior Georgene Goff
of Willard.
Barton Sen- wee -
ior Nell Dod-n
gin says, I
believe wom-
en lose much A
of the femin-t, —6
ine qualitiesa
by seeking to a
do a man's1
job.
"The high-,
est executive i "
office of the iare .
nation re-
quires one
who is stable
and strong
enough to Dodgin
successfully survive the pres-
sure put upon him. I don’t be-
lieve a woman can fill this of-
fice well.”
‘Woman Not Capable’
“I would not vote for her," 1
states John Cornett, Wilson sen-
ior. “because I feel that a wom-
an is not capable of doing a
man’s job.”
John’s feelings represent those
of 51 per cent of the girls
and 62 per cent of the boys.
Ellis
“I don’t be-
lie v e she
i would know
! how to deal
with military
: affairs, which
- are now a big
- issue, as well
as a man who
has had mili-
I tary experi-
I ence," avers
■ Wayne Ellis,
1 Riley senior.
“She is
I very, outspok-
en, and we
need someone
who will get the job done,” de-
clares Riley Senior Tommy Da-
vis. •
Another line of thought seem-
ing to tie in with the Constitu-
tional qualifications is expressed,
by Ann Bell.
“I believe
sex should be
no factor in
determining a
president. My
choice would
rest upon
morals, char-
acter, relig-
ion, party
platform, ra-
tonal tihnking
and mental
aptitude.”
“A woman
president may
seem strange
now," says
Bell
Dinah Dement, Willard junior,
"but in the future I think it
will become common.
“She has shown what a good
senator she is, and I think that
sex should make no difference
in choosing a capable person,"
she concludes.
