Jeff student wins scholarship
A bright future in the world of
dance is predicted fo r Beverly
Hughes as she leaves Jefferson High
School upon her graduation. Her
teachers, her fellow students and the
general public acclaim her talent in
the art.
Bev’s own interests lie in this direc
tion with the ethnic dances o f the
Caribbean areas exciting her most of
all. Jazz — the disco — ballet and
tap arc all on her list, however.
This summer will see Bev on the
campus at Reed College where she
will receive further instruction in the
ballet for a few weeks. Later in the
summer, Bev expects to attend a
summer dance class program at Fort
Worden (near Seattle), Washington.
An opportunity awarded to her when
she won the Shen Ryan scholarship
bestowed each year upon Jefferson’s
"best” dancer among the four-year
students there.
While at Jefferson Beverly kept
up her grades and emerged as
president o f Jefferson’ s National
Honor Society. She won a place on
the school’ s Rose Festival Court and
was co-editor o f 7he Jeffersonian.
In the community Beverly won the
local and regional N AACP Talent
Scholarship and w ill be going to
Louisville, Kentucky to compete in
the finals with young people across
the nation. Beverly w ill perform an
excerpt from the "Them e fo r the
E u lip io n ” which was w ritten by
Raymond Sawyer, a choreographer
for the Alvin Ailey dance troupe. She
will be in Kentucky at the end o f next
week. We wish her success.

been seeking in D.C. and Nebraska.
By p u llin g him self together, he
enabled himself to help others. His
grade point average slipped slightly
when he began working at the Linn-

west Portland. Working an excess o f

with school, directing athletics, and
coaching basketball, he still managed
to carry 17 credit hours at the
