High Life A WEEKLY FORUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS : Tustin Junior Takes Prize for Poster

Rino Valentino Canoy, 17, a junior at Tustin High School, has been named a regional winner in a national poster contest to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

His poster was one of nearly 10,000 entered in the “Spirit of Liberty: 1791-1991” contest sponsored by Philip Morris Cos. Inc. Canoy’s poster depicts the four faces on Mt. Rushmore, rendered in a modern motif with glasses adjoining each of the historical images.

Canoy, the son of Romulo Canoy and Maria Teresa Viloria of Santa Ana, will be honored, along with other regional winners and their parents, at an awards luncheon Monday at the National Archives in Washington.
