First Keziah Scholarship To Be Presented At West BY ETTA SMITH Three ShaUotte Middle .School students have some solutions for something that scientists have pondered for years—what to do about pollution. , The students won not only cash prizes for their suggestions, but also the respect of the Sunset Sands Garden Club, which sponsored a sixth-grade essay contest titled “NothlTig Can Be Finer Than A Cleaner Carolina." The three winners chosen last Fri day came from three different classrooms at the school. And they all apparently did their homework before sitting down to write the essays. "■nicfe were inany good essays,” said Ann Masline, one of the three garden club members who Judged the contest, “But there were two or three of them that it was obvious the kids had done some investigative work in order to write." The extra work paid off for first place winner Laurinda Hill, who won $20; second place writer Kristy Poulos, 110; and Remie Clark who won $6 and third place in the contest The garden club didn’t forget the teachers who taught the kids how to communicate their ideas about pollu- tiorw control. They awarded each a pot of Gerber daisies. "Msnv of Ihs Itirfs h=-> -—> '•» - about how to control pollutior;," said Masline. "One of them even sug gested that the $200 fine imposed for littering wasn’t enough to curtail the activity." Second place writer Kristy Poulos described the cause of pollution in shellfish areas when she wrote that sewage contains a bacteria called coiifuffn. She also wrote that when the water table rises and the ground cannot absorb the excess rain, septic tanks overflow and raw sewage is washed into the streams and rivers and into the ocean. “Also, at the beach the rain water cannot be absorbed through paved roads end paridng lots,” she wrote. First place winner Laurinda Hill wrote, “Waste cheniicals from in dustries and sewage from homes arc the chief pollutants in lakes and streams." Tile garden club has sponsored the contest annually since it was chartered tluee years ago. The teachers of the participating classes assigned tlie essay as a class project “The winners all suggested solu tions to the problems created by pollution,” said Masline. "It was ob vious they had thought about it and what to do about it" Headed For Sfafe Competition Pam Wcst Btunswlck High School senior science in county 0“ April 10 to ^lelgh. Above, Plyler Is shown with her exhibit at the Brunswick County (..umcuiiun rair. Nearly three years after her death, tlie first scholarship from a fund established in memory of the late Grace M. Keziah will be awarded to a West Brunswick High School senior this spring. Mrs. Keziah was a guidance counseloi at West Brunswick High School, known for her caring nature and cheerful attitude. One of her sons, Sam Keziah, said the Grace Keziah Humanitarian Scholarship will be based on merit and need and will consist of a one time award of approxbnately $500, to be paid to any accredited college or technical institute chosen by the stu dent “It will recognize students for something that might not usually be paid tribute to," he said. “One of the most important criteria is helping other people, not making a 4.0 or a great jump shot.” '^'**'-Th*i scholari^p will be presented annually to a West Brunswick college-bound senior who best ex hibits concern for others through ser vice to fellow students and communi ty. The presentation will be made by the guidance department during the school’s annual Awards Day ceremony. Applications for the scholarsliip are available from the West Brunswick High School guidance department. Finalists will be inter viewed by a board of trustees con sisting of the schools’ senior guidance couaselor, a member of the Keziah family and a representative of Camp United Methodist Church in Shallotte. Mrs. Keziah died June 7, 19S4, several days before her retirement arid shortly after seeing a student award established in her honor by Ed orincina! of Wost Brunswick High School. “It’s taken a long time to get everything worked out," Keziah said of efforts to establish the scholarsliip. “I’m glad we’re able to start it this year. This is the last class of students at West that had any contact with her." Because he and Shallotte attorney Doug Baxley are still working out some of the legal details involved in establishing the non-profit scholar ship corporation, this first award will be a cash grant, not taken from the fund, he said. The fund was established from memorial gifts in honor of both Mrs. Keziah and her husband, the late J.T. Keziah, also a longtime Brunswick County educator, and from contribu tions by family members. Awards will be made from the interest only, leaving the principal Intact. Contributions to the fund continue to be accepted, he said. Checks to the Grace Keziah Humanitarian Scholar ship may be sent to Security Savings and Loan, Shallotte, NC 2S459. ^ALL STAR FLAGS ‘Flags 'Flagpoles A Variefy Of Flags Mail Orders FREE Delivery Ask for FREE Catalog Five Win State Art Awards Four West Brunswick High School students and a Shallotte Junior Woman’s Club member brought home awards from the N.C.
