Page 18-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEACt Studen BY TERRY POPE Two Bruaswick County high school seniors received $2,500 scholarships Sunday after being named winners in the 14th annual Virginia and Odell Williamson Oratory Contest. Marian A. Gore, a senior at West Brunswick High School, and Christopher Milligan, a senior at North Bruaswick High School, were chosen winners over the six contestants by a panel of judges. Ms. Gore's speech was titled, "The Key to Survival" while Milligan's speech was titled, "The Peter Pan Syndrome." A male and female from each of the three county high schools were earlier chosen as school win ners and given a chance to compete for the $2,500 scholarships Sunday. Each of the school winners received $100 awards and a plaque for participating in the contest sponsored by (Well Williamson, an Ocean Isle Beach developer and his wife, Virginia. Other participants were Bradley Babson and Kathleen Somcrs of South Brunswick High, Handy Ward of West Brunswick and Veronica Phelps of North Bruaswick. Ms. Gore's winning speech stressed the need for students to obtain a good education. An education only requires a "free mind, body and soul," Ms. Gore said. "Sex and money can't always buy your way to the top. An education is like an American Express card?don't leave school without it." Milligan's winning speech dealt with the Peter Pan syndrome, a psychological phenomenon that produces a man-child who, like the mythical Peter Pan character, refuses to grow up. . "He is a man because of his age," Mllllgan said, "but a child because of his actions. His body matured, but his mind didn't. Because of this he has many, many problems in his life." Milligan urged others to help those recognized as suffering from the PPS syndrome by refusing to go along with lus juvenile belutvior and by not laughing at his boisterous comments. Babson gave a speech titled, "Fire Fighting Volunteer Style," while dressed in the fireman's uniform, complete with shielded helmet and rubber tioots. Babson expressed his concerns about needed community support for the fire departments in the county through the eyes ot u j f20-ft. i Power anOMC Sea Dri 11 (ME?
