Student Poet, Story Writer
Win Star Contest Awards
A young poet indifferent to
fame and a short story writer
who doesn’t plan to make a
living at it are the top win
ners in The Evening Star-
Scholastic Writing Awards
Contest.
John W. Money, 18, a senior
at Washington-Lee High
School in Arlington, won first
prize, a portable typewriter, in
the annual writing contest. He
is the third Washington-Lee
student to capture top honors
in as many years.
Kathleen C. Kilgore. 15, a
sophomore at the National Ca
thedral School for Girls, was
the second-place winner for
her short story, “Charite." She
will receive a transistor radio.
John explained his indiffer
ence to frequent publication
and public acclaim by saying,
“It's kind of vague, but there’s
a symbolic value to being a
poet. My chief ideal is not
to have my work published, but
to hope somebody can read it,
enjoy it and understand what
I mean.”
Study of Reactions
John’s winning entry was a
poem about an old woman sell
ing flowers, as seen by a pass
ing man and woman. In the
poem, a small boy runs by and
knocks over the old woman’s
flowers. The poem is a study
of the man’s reactions to this
incident and to its symbolic
meaning to life.
John is studying an academic
course at Washington-Lee High
School, and is a member of the
French Honor Society at the
school. He lives with his >
guardians, an aunt and uncle.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dulin of
4612 Nineteenth road. Arling
ton.
The second place winner,
Kathleen Kilgore, like John,
never before had entered a
writing contest. Her winning |
short story is set in the 18th '
Century and is the story of a ■
young girl adopted by a French i
writer living in Switzerland. As '
the girl grows up, she comes ■
to realize that she is the il- !
legitimate daughter of the !
writer.
I
Plot Was Dreamed
Kathleen said: “First I
dreamed it. Then I read some
thing similar in a book about
Voltaire—only then the girl
wasn’t the writer's daughter.
I thought the story needed
something like that.”
Kathleen said she plans to
become a writer or cartoonist,
but added hastily that she had
no idea of making any money
at it. “I plan to attend Ober
lin College—if I can get in—
and study languages or litera
ture,” she said.
Kathleen is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Kilgore of
5800 Hyland drive, Chevy
Chase.
More than 9,000 students in
45 public, private and parochial
schools in the area submitted
manuscripts to The Evening
Star - Scholastic Writing
Awards Contest. Forty entries
were named gold key recipients
as top winners in their cate
gories. Another 99 students
were named winners of cer
tificates of merit. All winning
entries have been sent to New
York for competition in the
national contest. Winners of
the national contest will be
announced early in May.
Prizes To Be Given
Prizes and awards will be
presented to winning students
by the principals of their
schools. The contest was open
to entries in two short story
categories, poetry, two essay
categories and dramatic scripts.
Judges in the contest were
Mrs. Shirley Pfoutz of Ameri
can University, Miss Ann Fea
ther of Gallaudet College, Phil
ip Herzbrun of Georgetown
University, James Forsythe of!
Sidwell Friends School, and 1
Robert Willson of George i
Washington University.
Also. Donn Murphy of
Georgetown University, William
Mosier of American University,
Mrs. Lewis Ludlow of Mary
mount Junior College, and
Hugh Troy, a free-lance writer.

It’s a nice place to work.
The driver s cob in a Volkswagen Truck.
It s high, wide—and everything's handy.
The first thing you notice is the headroom. No
hunching up to make yourself fit.
The seat is adjustable backwards or forwards
for legroom. And, it's upholstered in foam rubber.
When you're in the driver's seat, your arms
rest naturally on the steering wheel. (It's almost
horizontal.! You drive in a relaxed position.
Visibility is almost unlimited: you see the road 5
feet ahead of the bumper.
The gear shift is where you want it, near your
right hand. Doesn't hog legroom.
There's no groping under the seat or dashboard
for the emergency brake. It’s set forward of the
gearshift, easy to grijb when you need it.
You can even do something about the weather
inside the cab: there s a fresh air ventilator over
head to help keep you cool in summer, a built-in
heaier to keep you warm in winter.
Other ways VW makes things nice: there's a
cabin-width parcel shelf. A built-in windshield
defroster. A sun visor.
There's even a built-in ash tray.
Chmb into the driver's seat of a VW Truck and
see for yourself how good working conditions are.
