SEPTEMBER 2024 | 39 THE OKLAHOMA BAR JOURNAL She felt the child labor laws should be revised and more vocational training should be offered in schools. Acknowledging that all children are not on the same level, she said, “Certainly, we must have advanced training for young minds that are bound for the stars, but there will always be the earth-bound.”10 The capstone of Judge Young’s outstanding legal career came in 1962 when American Women in Radio and Television named her “Woman of the Year.” She was also on the Executive Committee of the National Juvenile Judges Association and was the first woman named to the advisory council of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. She was a member of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, and was the past president of the Tulsa Business and Professional Women’s Club and the Tulsa County Bar Association. Judge Young was educated and pursued her legal career in Oklahoma, only leaving when ill health caused her to move to Pittsburgh in 1969 to be near her son, John Keith (Jack). She died April 23, 1970, in Pittsburgh. ENDNOTES Individual Sources: M. Jean Holmes James Eagleton Norma Eagleton 1. “Ex-Judge of Juvenile Court Dies,” Tulsa Tribune, April 24, 1970, 3-C. 2. Id. 3.
