Westchester : Students Win Contest
Thomas A. Denne of Westchester High School and Shai Gluzman of Fairfax High School were among 26 Los Angeles-area high school students who received prizes for their essays on “The Importance of Values in American Society.”
The contest was sponsored by the Skirball Institute on American Values of the American Jewish Committee.
Denne and Gluzman were presented with $25 each for their third-place essays in a ceremony last week.
The contest was judged by novelist Irving Stone, Los Angeles Times columnist Jack Smith and KCBS-TV anchorwoman Tritia Toyota.
