Last February Ron Williams received
a Certificate of Merit in
the thirty-third Annual Scholastic
Art Award competition from the
western Pennsylvania area. William's
picture was selected along
with 450 others out o.f some 5,000
entries. The competition includes
only high school students. The
national winners and top regional
winners receive various scholarships
sponsored by such companies
as Hallmark and Grumbacker. Several
of this year's judges were art
instructors at Carnegie Tech and
The University of Pittsburgh. The
pictures were exhi-bited at Kaufman's
for one week. William's
"Study in Feet" was done in green

Nation·wide recognition of Kiski
