AMY PAUL WINS UREY GEOGRAPHY BEE ■mi J Amy Paul, an Bth grade student at Urey Middle School, won the shcool's geography bee on February 6 and a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. The schoollevel bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the third annual National Geography Bee, which is being sponsored by National Geographic World, the Society's magazine for children, AMTRAK, and KUDOS snack. Dan Walter, a seventh grader was the runner up. The bee kicked off the week of January 28 in thousands of schools around the United States, District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. The school winners, including Amy, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be eligible to compete in their state bee April 5. The National Geographic Society with its co-sponsors will provide an all expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state champions and their teacher escorts to participate in the National Geography Bee finals on May 22 and 23. The first place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship; the second place winner, a $15,000 scholarship; and the third place winner, a SIO,OOO scholarship. The National Geographic Society developed the National Geography Bee in response to a growing concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States. A 10country Gallup Survey conducted for the Society in 1988 and 1989 found that people in the U.S. ages 18 to 24, the youngest group surveyed, knew less about geography than young people in any of the other countries. The National Geographic Society, with more than 10 million members, has as its mission the "increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge." Besides the National Geography Bee, the Society sponsors a number of other geography education initiatives, including the Summer Geography Institute for teachers, the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, and the Geographic Alliance Network, which currently encompasses 40 states and Puerto Rico. A 5-year-old holding up five fingers at her birthday party observed shrewdly: "From now on I’m going to be a handful!”

Wilde Comedy To Play At Old Lakeville School The wit, and scathingly satirical style of Oscar Wilde will take the stage at The Old Lakeville School Project when the Michiana Actor's Theatre presents "The Importance of Being Earnest.” This lampoon of high society will be performed February 23, starting at 7:30 p.m. "The Importance of Being Earnest” is far and away Wilde’s most famous work and his most brilliantly funny. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comic masterpiece of English literature, and every bit as influential as any work of Shakespeare on modern playwrights. When hearing the lines of modern characters from the likes of comic masters such as Peter Barnes and especially Joe Orton, we hear the echoes of Wilde’s characters in “Earnest." The Actor's Theatre has assembled a veteran cast for the show, featuring Dan Rodden as Jack, Rusty Nixon as Algernon, Diane Howard as Lady Bracknell, Keith Jackson as Lane, Burton Matteson as Dr. Chausable, Christy Risser as Miss Prism, Sara Murphy as Cecily and Pam Nixon as Gwendolyn. For more information, or to place ticket orders call (219) 784-8827.
