MERIT FINA WHITING AND GEIHS TAKE HONORS It was a typical, rainy, Saturday morning as Gilion Geihs and Sam Whiting arrived at the testing center with their No. 2 pencils and two pieces of identification. The challenge of the morning’s Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests slowly awakened each as they headed to two different testing areas. Gilion to the library and Sam to SS-I. The National Merit Scholarship Committee honored the excellent scores achieved by Geihs and Whiting that Saturday morning by recognizing them as semi-finalists in the National Scholarship competition. The advancements of each in further competition will depend on future qualifying test scores. Lake Oswego High School has honored these fine students by enshrining their photographs in the 'Senior Scholars’ showcase. Merit scholar Gilion Geihs shows good form in hitting the books.

LO CREATES OLYMPIC ART “Go for the Gold in ’84” is the slogan for the many athletes expected to compete in the 1984 Summer Olympics, and so was it the slogan for two youths at Lake Oswego as they competed in the Olympic Youth Art Competition. Freshman Matt Starling and Sophomore Howard Nelson submitted their Olympic art last year and received their gold medals this year for their excellent depiction of athletes. Matt Starling won a gold medal and a $500 cash prize as the competition for taking state honors in his age group. Starling’s prize entry was a 16-inch by 22-inch portrayal of three female archers created from waterco-Ior, crayon and felt tip pen. Howard Nelson’s work combined three figures: a swimmer, hurdler, and high jumper drawn in cartoon figures with a mixture of watercolor and calligraphy. Nelson received a gold medal for his 1st Place award in Clackamas County.
