The Tom Walter family has double reason to smile this week.

Students in the fourth through eighth grades throughout the L’nited States and four territories arc currently involved in the first round of competition in which they answer oral questions on geographv. Runner-up was Jimmy Vail, eighth grader. The Georgraphy Bee is sponsored bv National Geographic World, the society s magazine for children The contest was developed in response to "a growing concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States''. According to a nine country gallup survey conducted for National Geographic Society last May. American young adults aged 18 to 24 knew less about geography than any other country's young people. Walter will now advance to the next level of competition, a written examination. One hundred of the top scorers in Indiana will be eligible to complete on April 7. All first place state winners will be flown to Washington. D.C. with their teacher escort to participate in the national finals on May 18 and 19. The first place national bee will receive a $25,000 scholarship; second place winner a $15,000 scholarship; and the third place winner a SIO,OOO scholarship. The Society's contest features questions on the broad subject of geography — the study of earth and its inhabitants. The following is a random sampling of actual questions from the Urey contest.

LaVille into the final game against New Prairie. The loss was Glenn's ninth in 14 games for the year to date with one full week of action before the girls sectional starts very early in Feb ruary. The game turned into a scoring match between Glenn's Kristi Solmos and LaVille's Jennifer Downcv and Paige Balka. but Kristi could not get the job done alone, espcci alb still favoring an ankle injure of several weeks. The Lady Falcons did manage an 8-6 first period lead as Solmos had three baskets and Sherri Fansler one to two for Downey and one for Balka How ever, the second quarter found the I ady I ancers moving ahead to stav as Downey had nine of their 13 points to move them on to a 19 14 halftime lead At this point. Solmos had 10 of Glenn's 14 1 a Ville outscored Glenn 6-4 in a very slow scoring third quarter as LaVille's pressing defense was instrumental in dictating the plav of the game, forcing turnovers and some very loose play. They had no problem from there on moving to the 39-24 final score. Downey finished the night with 19 and Balka 11 for 30 of LaVille's 39 while Solmos was only able to add two free throws in the second half, but still ended w ith half of the Glenn points with 12.
