Writing Skills Pay Off Big Following the Rotary Club ceremony, Walter O’Neil Mc- Clenney, the first place winner, and his sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Vaughan, discussed some ways to invest their money. Eager to demonstrate their writing abilities, several students filed applications and entered the Free Enterprise Essay Contest sponsored by the Lawrenceville Rotary Club. The broad topic was “The American Free Enterprise System.’’ All coun¬ ty students were eligible to participate. After many hours of concentration, research, organization, and typing, participants met the deadline and submitted final copies of their papers to the principal who forwarded them to local judges. The finalists were selected by judges from VPIandSU. Capturing first place for his essay entitled “The Metamorphosis of the Free Enterprise System,’’ was Walter O’Neil McClenney, who received a plaque and a $100 check. His sponsor, Mrs. Virginia Vaughan, also received a check for $100 and a plaque from the Rotary Club. Third place winner was Sandra Mays. She, along with her sponsor, Mrs. Barbara Evans received a plaque and $50 each. Another winner from BSHS was Sherry Watkins who received honorable mention, a $10 check and a plaque. Her sponsor, Ms. Linda Hirvonen, also received $10. These students found out that writing can become a lucrative business. 8 Contest Winners
