Mary Louise McCachren, an orphan whose home has been the Presbyterian Mission School at Concord, N.C., sailed on the Leviathan from New York July 4 on a free voyage which she won in a contest of Bible story-telling. Mary Louise is a 16-year-old mountain girl whose parents died in the flu epidemic some years ago. The contest was open to all Sunday school pupils in the country, and the first prize, won by Mary, was a 57-day trip to Europe.
From page 6 of the Norlina Headlight, July 10, 1925. The article has a nice photo of Mary Louise. You can see it at:
