Ninth grade is the time to prepare as Sterling Scholar Students who are interested in participating in the sterling scholar ' program should begin to plan now. Waiting until the student is a senior to begin puts him or her at a great disadvantage. It is very important to show depth in the categories by showing interest in a subject from 9th grade on through the senior year. Students should have an interest and participate in as many activities as possible in both community and school; then, when they are seniors, these activities will help them select the area far which they are most qualified. History fairs, district fairs, math competitions, school music pro science fairs, private music pains, lessons, and concerts are just a few suggestions for activities in which to participate. Participation with committees in the community and your church are also very good. and Candy stripers, scouting, other community involvement all contribute to a students credentials. For certain areas travel is employvery important; part-tim- e ment, summer jobs, and positive financial experiences should all be shown in the portfolios. An excellent way to prepare is to keep a file of all possible portfolio materials from 9th grade on. Take pictures of everything students do. Ifthe pictures are not used they will not need to be kept But it is very hard to go back four yean and get a picture that was never taken. Have a place for all certificates, ribbons, letten of commendation or recommendation that are received. Newspapers clippings and yearbook pictures of club involvement are also good materials to keep. A portfolio is required for the final region competition. There is no minimum page requirement, but the maximum is 12 double-side- d pages, or a total of24 surfaces. About six of these pages are required information; the rest are to show the student's accomplishments.

The boys are denying involvement, said Boren. The boys will be charged in 8 District Juvenile Court with reckless burning.
