Wake Forest-bound students earn scholarships through Crosby Scholars CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT Seniors Jaelynn Pitt of West Forsyth High School and Khiry Sutton of Glenn High School have earned the Wake Forest University/Crosby Scholarship The awards are given to Crosby Scholars students who plan to attend WFU. The $2,000 scholarship is renewable for four years for scholars who continue to uphold the standards of the Crosby Scholars Program and who maintain a mini mum GPA of 2.5 at Wake Forest. Pitt and Sutton will be enrolled at Wake this fall. The Crosby Scholars program works to assist public mid dle and high school students in Forsyth County in preparing themselves for successful college enrollment. Jaelynn Pin I ? ? Khiry Sutton Fools from paife A7 "This is a new trend we're seeing across the country." Grant said "We want everybody to have a fun and safe time at our swimming pools." Children under 48 inches tall will be asked to take a swim test when they arrive at the pool If they pass the test, they will receive a green wrist band that allows them to go anywhere in the pool If they do not pass the test they will receive a red wrist band and a life jacket. They can go in the shallow end of the pool up to 3.5 feet. The swim test consists of tread ing water for a minute and swimming 25 yards without touching the bottom As the staff at a particular pool gets to know the children who attend often, lifeguards may issue green wrist bands to children who they know can swim without administering a swim test, said Dick Butler, the aquatics director. Anyone over 4K inches tall will be required to take a swim test if lifeguards observe that they may be poor or non swimmers. Butler said Any patron who refuses to take a swim test will have to leave the pool grounds. Swimmers with red or yellow wrist bands who are caught in the wrong section of the pool will be asked to sit out for 15 minutes. If they are caught a second time, they will have to leave the pool Free swim lessons for adults and children are avail able through the city pools this summer, thanks to the assistance of the American Red Cross and a grant from the Winston-Salem Kotarv Club All pools will offer children's lessons starting the week of June 14 Sign ups will be June 12.

Many people with cutaneous lupus also suf fer from hair loss and changes in the color of their skin. What are the common symptoms of lupus? Lupus symptoms may vary depending on the type of the disease, and the symptoms may come and go, as opposed to being present all the time The most common symptoms are: Extreme fatigue, headaches, painful or swollen joints, fever, sun- or light-sen sitivity, mouth or nose sores , swelling in feet, legs, hands. and/or around eyes, butterfly shaped rash across the cheeks and nose anemia (low numbers of red blood cells), hair loss , abnormal blood clotting, fin gers turning white and/or blue when cold and pain in chest on deep breathing. It is also important to note that lupus is most often diag nosed in women of childbear ing age, or between the ages of 15 and 44 years. How is Lupus treated? Most persons with lupus are followed by a rheumatolo gist (a specialist in joint and connective tissue diseases) as joint/connective tissue pain and inflammation are very common symptoms. In addi tion. the type of lupus a person has and what body system it affects will determine what other doctors they may need to see. For example, someone w ith cutaneous lupus will most likely be treated by a derma tologist, a specialist in skin disorders and diseases; a per son whose lupus causes kidney problems would need to see a nephrologist, a specialist in kidney disorders and diseases. Unfortunately there is no cure for lupus at this time, however, the disease can be managed and persons with lupus can live normal lives. A combination of patient educa tion. medications to manage symptoms, physical therapy and regular medical check-ups are essential. Early and accu rate diagnosis and treatment are also essential to ensure a more positive outcome.
