Students from four south Webster Parish High Schools were presented with the Honesty & Integrity Awards from Minden Masonic Lodge #51 earlier this week. Special guest, Mason Jay McCallum, who sits on the Louisiana Supreme Court, gave out the awards and kept the audience laughing.

Today’s recipients, representatives of Glenbrook School, are Emily Cook and Noah Cox. Look for additional winners next week in the Webster Parish Journal.

“We need to do all we can to encourage these young people (to develop honesty and integrity in their lives),” Justice McCallum told a large audience gathered at Minden’s Masonic Lodge.

Each of the eight students, who were selected after interviews with people from their schools, churches, civic and school clubs, and various other adults, were also presented with a check by Masonic Chaplain Richard Fletcher on behalf of the Temple Masonic Lodge in Bossier City.
