The Bank of America, as in previous years, provided the Benicia High School senior class with an opportunity to display their exceptional areas of study. Participants in this competition were nominated by the faculty to compete in their strongest field. The Bank of America 1981 Achievement Awards were challenged by many top-ranking students as they pooled their writing and speaking talents together in both an essay and round table discussion. Faculty members marked their score sheets on individual performance, and reviewed such criteria as academics and school service. After looking over each candidate carefully, the committee consisting of KGF ,D ,. I seven faculty members made their decision. The three announced winners received personally engraved plaques, and went on to compete in the regional competition. These seniors were: Brian Earp for Liberal Arts, Valerie Slavik for Math!Science, and Steve Holl for Eine Arts. Certificate winners were also chosen upon individual accomplishment. These seniors were elected primarily on teacher recommendation with the exception of the English area which required a timed essay.
