Miss Elizabeth McVey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McVey of Haigler, is completing her career at the
Nebraska state university with extra-ordinary honor, having won a scholarship with one other member of the senior class of 1926 in the home economics course to the Merrill-Palmer school at
Detroit, Mich. Miss McVey has gone to the
Detroit school where she will be graduating at the end of the first semester.
Winning this scholarship is a distinguished honor, only two being awarded in the entire senior class, and is an acknowledgement of meritorious work.
It carries a cash allotment of $200.
Miss McVey was graduated from the Haigler high school in 1921. She taught school one year and entered the Nebraska state university in 1922 taking the course in home economics, specializing in dietetics. During part of her school career she was employed as assistant dietician at the Lincoln general hospital. She was out of school one semester, giving her full time to her employment at the hospital and also during the summer of 1925 at the hospital as a dietician. She returned to Lincoln in August this year to resume her duties at the hospital and complete her university course.
The announcement of the awarding of the scholarship was made last week at the beginning of the school year and Miss McVey departed from Lincoln for Detroit last Thursday. At the Merrill-Palmer school she will specialize in child nutrition.
