Prizes ranged from $50 to $250 gift certificates to either George’s Ceramic Supply or to Art Media, Sind one tuition waiver was given to Hubbard. The art department is for tunate to be able to offer such awards through funding by the Lee Hutchison Endowment for Visual Arts. “All over the country there are art departments that don’t have any money for their student show,” said David Anderson, art department chair, “but the Hutchison Endowment is kind of designed to bring up and give opportunities to our students, and that’s why it’s important.” Clackamas math teacher Don Hutchison started the Hutchison Endowment in November 1997, the month after his brother, Lee Hutchison, an artist well known by former Clackamas art students, was tragically killed in a car accident. The endowment serves both as a memorial to Lee Hutchison and as an effort to aid young, struggling artists, according to Anderson. Bob Dozono, Portland artist and retired chairman of the Portland Community College art department, judged the artwork. This year Anderson and visual arts instructor Nora Brodnicki judged the artwork before it was entered into the show. Of the 130 pieces submitted 75 were selected for display in the show. Anderson said that the result was a better organized, more comprehensive show, prior to passt years, where all submissions were displayed “The show is a lot cleaner,” said Anderson. “Everything that’s in the show has attained a certain level of understanding in the contemporary art world in visual art. We’ve received a lot of compliments on it and we think it looks great.” The art show will run through May 30 in the Pauling Gallery. Exhibits are free and open to the public.

The Pearson sisters were able to win the bronze medal in the debate competition. Altogether, Clackamas racked up between 230 and 240 speech medals this year. Compared to the 100 that a majority of schools average, Clackamas has really felt the bene fits of a successful program. “We’ve been very blessed with really good students [and] very, very supportive administration,” said Brennan. “Without them and their support, [we would be] nowhere.” Brennan expects to have a very strong group of returning students on the team next year. A total of 10 are expected to stay and participate in next year’s program. Matt Steketee and Karki will both be moving on to PSU, but many other talented competitors will be here to carry the program. Thé Pearsons will all be returning next year after having a surprising year of success. “The Pearsons, Lizzie, Joanna and Brie surprised me. I knew they had talent, but when you have 14, 15 and 17 who are now 15, 16 and 18 [year-old] homeschool kids... they’re a different type of student,” said Brennan. “These kids are so gifted, and Joanna got silver at nationals, which is second best in the nation.” Sun Mav 4 Showers 59747° 40%
