It was fun to pick it up today, decide to search for more information about it, and learn the design I have was used only two years. Gee, wonder who will appreciate it when I’m gone..<br />Likedschoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609290272915134432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886336029981598055.post-56231524795595434702019-05-03T17:54:44.048-07:002019-05-03T17:54:44.048-07:00I won in 1977 also.

I remember being warned that I would get thrown out of the test for making some joking and irreverent comments during the test. Imagine my surprise and the ribbing I took being a male future homemaker winner!

I wanted to share with you my Betty Crocker story and also I was curious what year you won your pin in. I am now trying to see if I can figure out what awards where given for different years. <br />My story: I won the Betty Crocker test for my high school in 1977, the last year the scholarship program was active. I did not receive a certificate or a charm. I always wondered why. I was proud of winning it. I was a good student and a great test taker and took one class in Home Economics my senior year as a light class to relax in. I learned all the skills I knew for the test from living with my mom my 17 years of life. <br />Recently I was once again thinking about this Betty Crocker title I won, since it is my 40th year out of high school. I am a researcher at heart and decided to try to find out more about the Betty Crocker title. <br />I found out so much and saw that there were 6 types of awards given. The first year, 1955 a brooch with the year on the back, then the same brooch without a year, then a large heart pin, then a smaller heart pin, then a charm with Homemaker of the Future, then the same charm with Future Leader of America. The last charm was a different named scholarship since boys could take the test also, in the last 3 years of the program. <br />I contacted General Mills and asked if they knew if all winners were given the charm in the last year. A wonderful person in the achieves department told me that she could make a certificate for me, if I wanted it. I told her YES, I wanted one! Then she told me that she found the charm I should have received and sent that to me also!<br />I then have been looking on the internet to try to purchase the other awards. I now have one from 1955, I have the larger heart pin, a charm with "Homemakers" on the back and the last charm given out - with "Future Leaders", that General Mills sent to me. I also have seem several blogs like yours of women that won the title also. I just wanted to let you know I am honored to be in the same group with you.

No way was I a future homemaker: in homemake class I sewed an apron I was hand stitching to the skirt I had on; and when goofing off and tossing biscuits to a friend in cooking class, had one go awry, stick to the ceiling, and then loosen to fall near the head of our teacher. All of us were surprised when in school assembly it was Linda Gibson's name called as winner. All of us knew it should have been Alice Kirksey winning!!! In today's vernacular - it was a LOL moment. <br />LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594010526735663621noreply@blogger.com
