Show ;;v ip-t ', .- riii " f 2vf: ii Joe Hoagland, Cedar High School, shows off his science project, "Pine Gum: its Use." Hoagland will compete com-pete in the International Science and v Engineering Fair May 11-16 in Milwaukee as a biological sciences winner in the Southern Utah Regional Science Fair. Students headed for national fair junior division. David A. Moss, Richfield Rich-field Junior High, won first place in physical science with "The Effect of Roof Overhang on Building Temperature." Second place honors, same division, went to Lucinda Lynn, Millard Junior High; Mark L. . Christensen, Richfield Junior High; and to Enterprise Junior High students Madelyn Hunt and Dana Rohde. Third place winners were Abe 0. Young, Dixie ; Jennifer Bumgardner, Richfield; and LeeAnn Christensen, Millard Junior High. Honorable mention went to Greg Torres, Dixie Junior High; Bobbette Bennett, Millard Junior High; and Richfield Junior High students Julia Gentry, Kimberly Smith and Margaret Wayland. The first place winner in biological sciences, junior division, was Nathan Tait, Enterprise Junior High, for his work with the "Use of Haylox as a Growth Stimulant." Second place honors, same division, went to Dixie Junior High School students Shawn Webb, Angela Ann Williams, Tannis Bundy, Sandy Lynn Taylor and Beverly D. McArthur. Third place honors, biological sciences, junior division, went to Debra Barlocker and Hachelle Hunt, Enterprise En-terprise Junior High; Breck Mitchell and Brendon Snow, Dixie Junior High; and to Richfield Rich-field Junior High students Marci Christensen, Steven Andersen and David Ward. The fair winners were selected by 15 official and 37 special fair judges. "We appreciate their work, many of whom traveled a long way to judge the contest, and we also extend our thanks to the many organizations and individuals who donated prizes and awards to fair winners," Dr. Palmer said. Six Students from St. George, Richfield and Cedar City schools will attend the International Science and Engineering Fair May 11-16 in Milwaukee, Wis., as winners of the Southern Utah Regional Science Fair held last week at Southern Utah State College. Winners of the region fair were selected from 215 science projects entered in the contest by junior and senior high school students from southern, central and southeastern Utah schools. Included in the half dozen winners are two brothers and two students who have competed in the international in-ternational contest before. "Sweepstakes honors were won again this year by students from Dixie junior and senior high schools," said fair director Brent C. Palmer, professor of botany at SUSC. "There were impressive showings from several schools, including awards made to first-time competitors from Carbon and San Juan high schools." "We are very pleased with the student participation par-ticipation in the regional meet and with the quality and wide variety of scientific work completed by students at their respective schools," Dr. Palmer said. "We congratulate the winners and their teachers and wish them well at the international fair." The trip winners were announced, and many additional honors conferred, con-ferred, at an awards assembly held at the conclusion of the day-long confab. Among the awards given were full-tuition SUSC scholarships to seniors Robert Sant, Millard High School; Lyle M. Harrison, Cedar High School; and Jerry Cockran, San Juan High School. The scholarships are for 1981-82. Three winners in senior divison physical science and three in senior division biological science will attend the fair in Milwaukee. An alternate was selected in each division. Marie Christian, Dixie High School, won first place in physical sciences for "An Investigation of Powers of Integer Polynomials and their Bernoulli Number Generators." She has attended international fairs in St. Paul and San Antonio as the winner of the southern Utah meet. Second place honors, same division, went to Dixie High School studentsJeannette Bennett and Mark Wonnacott. Bennett was a w winner in physical sciences last year and attended the St. Paul meet. Her experiment this year is the "Development of Divisibility Rules for Integers in Base B." Wonnacott, a first-time winner, is a fair winner with his "Photography in Physics." Kendall Crookston, Carbon High School, is the alternate in physical sciences with hi; "Computer Language Assistor." Biological science winners are Kirsten Hintze, Richfield High School; Matthew P. Wonnacott, Dixie Jr. High; and Joe Hoagland, Cedar High School. Hintze took first place honors for an experiment titled "How Does the ph of Rain Affect Radishes." Hoagland and Wonnacott tied for second place. Hoagland's experiment dealt with "Pine Gum Antiseptic," Wonnacott's with "The Effects of Different Gases on Blood Clotting Time." Bart Cowley, Richfield Junior High, is the biological sciences alternate for his "Zeranol as a Growth Stimulant in Livestock." First, second and third place winners were also announced in physical and biological sciences, |
