The topic of the essays was "Americanism -- Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue." The purpose of the contest was to aid the schools of Illinois in the teaching of Americanism and good citizenship.

The awards were presented by Marlene Schrader, Americanism chairman from American Legion Auxiliary 263, following a recent school chapel service. Each of the four winners received a monetary award.
