Gilliam Honored by Johns Hopkins University Tribal member Rebecca Gilliam of Dallas, Oregon was one of only 180 Oregon seventh grade students honored for their outstanding verbal andor mathematical abilities by Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland during their annual talent search. The search was conducted by the University's Center for the Advancement of Academically Talented Youth and it' included more than 46,000 students from over 4,000 schools in 19 states and the District of Columbia. According to information provided by Johns Hopkins University only 15 of the students earned invitations to the awards ceremony, including Gilliam. Gilliam qualified to participate in the search in three different areas by scoring in the 97th through 99th percentile during recent college standardized achieve ment tests (SAT's). Gilliam received one of only four state awards that were given in Oregon. Her award is particularly outstanding when you consider that usually only high school seniors are even eligible to take the standardized achievement tests. Bckkie's family and friends are very proud of her scholastic achievements. "She reads extensively and she did extremely well on the verbal part of the test," explained Rebecca's mother Susie. "She scored as well as the above average High School Seniors who take the test. We are very proud." mi-;,. yr - ' '''' i ' Jj::; ,-y: lfl: I?
