Douglas C. McMurtrie, S. K. Stevens, Mrs. Herbert P. Gambrell,
David C. Duniway, William G. Roelker, Culver H. Smith, Roy
F. Nichols, Lester J. Cappon, Bertha E. Josephson, Floyd C.
Shoemaker, George N. Fuller, H. Bailey Carroll, Dorothy C.
Barck, Arthur Pound, and Morris Bishop.

7. By the preservation and restoration of historic buildings, and the
marking of historic sites.
8. Through historical plays and pageants.
