NOT ONLY was it a time to honor some outstanding students, stu-dents, but Allen A. Tuft, Davis Schools supervisor of secondary secon-dary mathematics and science, was honored for 18 years service ser-vice in promoting science fairs and related activities, (see separate picture and cutline). Competition was held April 8- 9 for junior high and April 9- 10 for senior high students with exhibits shown at the Weber We-ber State College Union Building Build-ing ballroom. IN THE senior high division, winners were reported in many categories. They will be listed by award type, name or names and school: NASA Certificate of Outstanding Achievement, Robert Doney and Craig Craythorne of Clearfield; U.S. Army Awards, certificate of achievement, Michael Hep-worth Hep-worth of Clearfield for chemistry; chemis-try; marine technology society award, Scott Ortega and Barry Lucero, both of Clearfield.
