Students devised projects in the mediums of historical per- formances, research papers, ex- hibits and documentaries to be judged and presented on March 29. Such works were construct- ed and perfected throughout the year by dedicated students. Although each of the Dal- las’group and individual partic- ipants worked without falter this year, only the top three stu- dents in each of the above-men- ROSEMARY SHAVER DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL tioned categories attains a po- sition in the state competition. Four Dallas High students advanced on to the state com- petition which will be held at Millersville University on May 13 and 14. These students are Lauren Kelly, first place Indi- vidual Performance; Rosemary Shaver, third place Individual Historical Paper; Megan Jor- dan, first place Individual Media Presentation; and Alex- ander Gallagher, third place In- dividual Media Presentation. Coaches Mrs. Kupstas and Mr. Nestoric will accompany these students to states. Their assistance and guidance to- ward team members through- out the year is to be commend- ed. Math Competition, another one of Dallas HIgh School’s academic teams, also attained excellence over the past week. On Saturday, April 5, Wilkes University hosted the 60th An- nual Luzerne County High School Mathematics Contest. Evaluating four years of math intake, the 115 student compet- itors in the contest were re- quired to complete a two-hour, 40-question, math test. Among the 115 competitors were 14 Dallas High School students - students who have studied math all year in preparation for the competition. Dedication brought this team victory at the contest as the team attained first place in the senior division and second place in the junior division. In- dividually, Jordon Thimot grasped first place in the senior division, winning a full scholar- ship to Wilkes University. Addi- tionally, Christopher Jayne tied for fifth place in the senior division, A.J. Thomas placed second in the junior division and Katie Confer tied for fourth place in the junior division. Congratulations to Mr. Saba and his team of victors. Also deserving congratula- tions are the third quarter stu- dents of the quarter. Junior Da- vid Carey was awarded the hon- or of Citizen Student, Alyssa Pyros was labeled School Sprit Student, Kristina Toussaint was named Student Achiever and Hannah Grube was award- ed the title of Creative Student.

I like to dabble in ev- erything; I tend to want to do it all.” Davis spends about two hours each day practicing the harp and half an hour singing, indicating that it would be unhealthy for her voice if she rehearsed any more. She performed in her own in- dividual hour-long senior harp recital last December. Her senior vocal recital, required in order to graduate from Peabody with a Bachelor of Music degree, was held March 8. “It’s just basically showing ev- eryone what you learned over the past four years,” she said. “It’s a big deal. It’s almost bigger than graduation in some ways.” When not practicing, Davis likes watching the Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles “ Tennis Anyone? , mmsesimcn : E8888 N Y'® 211 Harris Hill Frucksv : ETE HER WER TR : and enjoys traveling, having been to Ireland, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Canada and many states within the country.
