a junior at Ellet High School. Her topic was "Durability of
Plastics Under Simulated Conditions." (see photo at left) Christina's
sponsoring teacher is Ms Susan Rhoades. The middle school winner
is Craig Blike, a student at Akron's Miller South Middle School.
His project, titled "All Fired Up," was a study of the flammability
of children's pajamas made of cotton, nylon, polyester, and
nylon/polyester blend. His sponsoring teacher is Ms. Louise
Heydorn. This year, there were ten projects at the high school
level and three at the middle school level. This represented
