YOUNG TEXAN TILLER TAKES NATIONAL PRIZE
Stuart Tiller of Baytown’s Gentry Junior High School won second place in Maryland at the 27th National History Day Contest. Almost five dozen other Texas youngsters had advanced to the nationals, and some took prizes. Tiller’s exhibit, “And We Fought for Texas: Few Stand Against Many,” consisted of three panels – the defenders, the battle, a chronology, and the strategic effects on broader history. The annual contest is a challenging affair with several months of local and state competitions and revisions. While the present Editor worked in the Texas Room at the Houston Public Library, one of the special rewards was seeing a youngster, coming back in to revise their work, so they could advance to the next level of competition. http://www.nationalhistoryday.org/2006winnersbystate.htm#TX, http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/education/thd/index.html, http://www.gccisd.net/gentry/index.htm
