Students quizzed on knowledge
LCL Scholarship Tests
February 14, 2007
The dictionary
has several definitions for the word scholarship. The most
common association is the monetary grant awarded for pursuit of
post-secondary education. The other, perhaps less used definition,
refers to the scholarly qualities or scholastic attainments of a
student. In other words, how much does one know about a subject.
This latter definition is what the Lyon County League Scholarship
Tests are all about.
Thirty-two
students from Marais des Cygnes
Valley High School participated in the LCL High School Scholarship
Tests on the campus of Emporia
State University.
The event which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, February
14, was moved up a week to February 7.
Students compete
against other schools in the league to earn recognition in the
content area and to collectively earn points for their school
ranking within the league and Class 1A. The other league schools
include Lyndon, Chase
County, Burlingame,
Olpe, Waverly, Madison,
Hartford, Flinthills, and Lebo. Results of the tests are
usually announced in the latter part of April
