Jane A. Johnson, of Rockville, Illinois, plans to major in chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois. Her award of $4,100 has been sent directly to the University at her request. Jane attended Rockford East High School of Rockford, Illinois, a city known for its public support of model aviation. Her GPA was 3.976, and her class ranking was first in an enrollment of 439.
Her scholastic record is excellent. Named to both the National Honor Society and the Spanish Honor Society twice, she managed to find time to be an active member of the Junior Engineering Technical Society. She was coeditor of the school yearbook; a full-term, active violinist in the school orchestra (and orchestra treasurer); and played on the basketball team for four years. As a volunteer, Jane worked six years at the Ken-Rock Community Center. With her father, she demonstrated Control Line flying for the Juvenile Probation Department programs. Miss Johnson has been a frequent Control Line competitor, including the Nats. She used her time and energy to assist numerous times at the club’s annual AAA contest.
Her goal in life is to help others. She will study chemistry and physics, hoping to solve fuel economy and safety problems in a wide variety of products.
