Lucanstudent wins M.cTaijih award LONDON - Daphne Damen of RR3 Lucan was presented with a McTavish Award last Wednes- 11iy tl mairing:at a-aezemony at4h0: Education Centre in London. Damen, a student of the John Paul II high school in London, was one of 17 recipients of the awards one from each of Lon- don's secondary schools. Damen's mother Carol explains that her daughter was nominated by her OAC' [Ontario Academic Credit] English teacher for her thigh marks in English, despite her dyslexia, her extra -curricular activities and community ser- vice. The McTavish award is pre- sented to those students who best attain the maximum develop- ment of their whole person - that . is the physical, mental, emotion- al, social and moral sides of the individual's behavior." The award is in memory of Er- nie McTavish, a former principal and superintendent of the Lon- don Board of Education who died in 1973. "We were very proud of her," said Carol Damen. "She's worked very ltard and it hasn't Daphne Damen come easy." In addition to a long list of school activities, Damen is a 4- 1-1 Club member, a Kirkton Ranger, and teaches gymnastics Saturday mornings at the South Huron Recreation Centre. "She was very excited. It's an honour just to be nominated," said Carol. The quality of the 17 award winners was judged to be so high this year, that Marion McTavish decided the $2,000 scholarship should be foregone this year in favour of giving each student $100.
