The Hoxie Junior High students created birthday cards for Leona Chasse of Maine.  Leona turned 99 years old on Jan 4th.  She is one of the last surviving "Code Girls" of World War II.  The students learned a little about how single women who liked crossword puzzles and math were recruited to be code breakers.  The "Code Girls" were sworn to secrecy for years.
