Other Mason students received “Awards of Excellence”:
Melissa Benn, Jack Brorsen, Gordon Matthewson and Bailey Walton.
Rounding out the seventeen total acknowledgements
were the seven students who were selected for “Awards of Merit”:
Daniel Wang, Jenny Piperno, Chantal Cough-Chulze, Alexa Peyton, Kassim Rahawi, Abby Stroup and Christina Dacanay.
A PTSA meeting February 1 recognized and displayed
the works of these students, who seemed unfazed by their success.
Attempts to obtain quotations about the artists’ awards were met
with humble evasions. Laura Lin, when asked about her striking
winning oil painting, replied, “Um, you can make up a quote for
me, if you want.” Peter Davis, in response to an inquiry about
his piano piece, said only, “It’s cool.” He then broke into an
original rap that, no doubt, was but another manifestation of his
musical abilities.
