Miss GRIT

My sister recently gave me the gift of a Grit subscription. Wow! What a change in format since 1952. It is even greater than before.

I still have a copy of a 1952 edition. In that edition you published the Miss Grit winner and runners-up. I was a runner-up and received a check, which was great for a high school freshman ($25). In fond remembrance of that occasion I have chosen to share the present with the past.

Thanks for my brief glimpse of recognition. I have been a teacher for more than 30 years and realize the value of encouraging a positive self-concept in young people.

Thanks again.
