Hogansville Student Participates in National History
By CINDY ADAMS
Tvo thousand students,
waving flags and banners
representative of fifty states
and the District of Columbia,
paraded around the floor of
the University of Maryland's
Cole Field House to patriot-
ic tunes provided by the Air
Force Band in the prelude to
the June 13th awards cere-
mony of National History
Day.
The program then began
with the presentation of col-
ors provided by the Armed
Forces Color Guard, a per-
formance by the Marine
Corps Silent Drill Team and
an address presented by
speaker, Rod Paige, U.S.
Secretary of Education.
Presentation of awards then
followed and, at its conclu-
sion, local students had
walked away with two of the
program's most prestigious
awards.
AMANDA ADAMS, 14-
year-old daughter of Cindy
Adams of Hogansville, com-
peted in the Junior Individual
Performance category. Her
presentation, consisting of a
ten minute monologue enti-
tled "The Waitress Who
Wouldn't Serve," told the
story of the Greensboro Sit-
Ins, a six-month long demon-
stration which began when
four black college students
demanded the right to be
served at a Woolworth lunch
counter in 1960s North
Carolina. In portraying the
caucasian waitress.
Amanda's performance
demonstrated the "white"
side of the issue, involving
social and economic
demands, as well as the
"black" side, the struggle of
a race to be treated with
equality. The Greensboro
Four are credited with set-
ting the example of the non-
violent protest which was
later followed by thousands
of students in the revolution
for civil rights in America.
Selected as a finalist in
her category, Amanda gained
the position of fourth place
among all national junior per-
formers and was also chosen
to receive the African-
American History Award.
This award is given to one
student, from either junior
(6th-8th grades) or senior
(9th-12th grades) divisions,
who best demonstrates any
issue in African-American
history.
JUSTIN DI Feliciantonio,
14-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Steven Di Feliciantonio
of LaGrange, competed in the
Junior Individual
Documentary category with
his entry entitled "Jimmy

Accords: A Framework for
Peace." His project, pro-
duced as a PowerPoint com-
puter program, focused on
the peace process of the
Israeli struggle for inde-
pendence in its war against
Eg3qgt, beginning in 1948 and
ending with the signing of a
treaty in 1979. The program
demonstrates how the Camp
David Accords should be uti-
lized as a role model for
peace-making in the current
Palestinian-Israeli Conflict.
Though not selected as a
national finalist in his cate-
gor3; Justin was chosen as the
recipient of the Foreign
Relations Award. This honor
is given to only one student,
from either division, who best
illustrates an issue concern-
ing foreign relations in his-
too'.
Amanda and Justin each
earned their way to the NHD
nationals by winning first
place awards in local, region-
al and state competitions.
Both are recent graduates of
Westside Magnet School and
will be entering area high
schools in the fall. Amanda
will attend Callaway High
and Justin 411 join the fresh-
man ranks at kaGrange High.
THE NATIONAL History
Day program began at Case
Western Reserve University
in Cleveland, Ohio as a local
competition in 1974 with the
goal of exciting students in
the lemming of history.
The program expanded
rapidly in the following years
and by 1980 had become a
national competition. Its
headquarters was moved
from Ohio to the University
of Maryland in 1992.
During the year-long pro-
gram, students surpass reg-
ular classroom study tech-
niques and develop outstand-
ing skills in the

On June 20, Sondra Lee
introduced everyone to the
South American llama. She
told how a llama is like and
different to its cousin the
camel; then. she read a folk-
tale entitled "The Mama and
the Great Flood" by Ellen
Alexander. A folktale is a tale
that is traditional among a
people and characteristically
anonymous, timeless, and
placeless. In this Peruvian
myth about the Great Flood,
a llama warns his master of
the coming destruction and
suggests taking refuge on a
high peak in the Andes. Stories
about a great flood are found
in cultures throughout the
world and are some of the
most widely known in folktale
literature.
