VA—Hen- ry Parr, one of the state's top science students, has just com pleted three weeks at the 1969 National Youth Science Camp. Being chosen to represent their state by their Governor’s ap pointment after intensive screen ing of their scientific, academ ic and citizenship record is the lighest honor a science student may receive in this nation. Sunday night marked the Clo sing banquet of the 1969 Science Camp, which was held at Mor ris Harvey College in Charles ton. After the Farewell address by Camp Director Charles N. Cochran and a discussion of the Camp's program during the past weeks, West Virginia Governor Arch Moore, Jr., took the stage to appoint the hundred young scientists as "World Ambassa dors for the State of West Vir ginia"; each young man receiv ed a plaque proclaiming his achievement and appointment, which was signed by Governor Moore. Last week, the young scien tists visited Washington as the guests of the United States Sen ate at a banquet held in their honor; they met and dined with their own Senators, and were addressed by Secretary Cyrus Vance. The President’s Science Advisor brought the best wishes of President Nixon. The boys flew home Monday after three weeks of living with and being exposed to the epi- tomy of today’s talent in the sciences, social sciences and the humanities. These young men are the leaders of tomorrow; they are ready to undertake the burden. If man can fly to the moon and beyond, if he is to cure the great problems of our time, to eliminate hunger and pollution and disease, to avoid atomic annihilation, then the talent displayed at the National Youth Science Camp, which is seen in very few young men and women, must be recognized and encouraged. To these hun dred young scientists from across the Nation, the National Youth Science Camp was a very important yardstick in measur ing their determined “Reach for Tomorrow".
