Karen Murray has won the Century 111 Leaders Scholarship competition at Rappahnnock County High School, according to Dennis Wingfield, principal. The 17-year-old senior is now eligible to compete with other high school seniors throughout Virginia for two $1,500 scholarships, two $500 scholarships, and also for a $10,000 national scholarship that will be awarded in a conference of state winners in historic Colonial Williamsburg.
Miss Murray triumphed in the local phase of the Century III Leaders program, a scholarship competition which emphasizes the future concerns of America. Students were judged on the basis of their leadership abilities, community involvement and score on a current events examination. To compete at the state level, Miss Murray must now write a brief projection outlining what (she) thinks is one of America's future challenges and how it should be met.
Runner-up in the competition at the local high school was Thomas E. Lee, Jr., age 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lee of Washington.
Karen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Murray of Castleton, Va., now competes with other high school winners from around the state for four scholarships and an opportunity for the $10,000 top national scholarship.
The two Virginia winners will receive an all-expensepaid trip to the third annual Century III National Leadership Seminar in Williamsburg, March 1-6, 1979, to participate in seminars on current issues. In previous years, speakers at these seminars were such notables as news commentator Howard K. Smith, architect-futurist Buckminster Fuller, and anthropologist Rene Dubos.
