During his Junior year he was the 2nd place winner of the Voice of Democracy Contest and was chosen to attend Wash- ington Workshops 1986 Model Congress, and Washington Workshops Congressio- nal Seminar. He is an alumnus of the Martin W.

He has been declared a Union Carbide Scholar and a Century Ill Leader of 1987. Congressman Donald J. Pease awarded him a Bronze Congressional Medal. Among the many essay contests he has won are the 1986 Army Reserve Essay Contest, the Americanism Founda- tion Essay Contest, the American Bar As- sociation Essay Contest, and 2nd place in the Constitutional Bicentennial Commit- tee Contest of Great Northern Mall. Winning contests was not the only thing that kept Jim busy in high school. His school activities include being an of- fice aide, working on the Elyrian staff, being in Spanish Class, Quill and Scroll Society, and serving on the Senior class announcements and ways and means committees. He participated in Freshman choir, Concert Choir, Ski Club, Math Club, and the Academic Challenge team, and played on the tennis team during his Sophomore and Junior years. He has also volunteered his time as an assistant for the Special Olympics, at the United Methodist Home and as a speaker for the Elyria Speakers Committee for Quality Schools. Jim is a long-time Boy Scout who has attained Life Rank and is currently working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. One of his proudest honors was win- ning a S1000 scholarship from the Elks Club.
