I liked the way it featured different sections of the band. If you missed it, you missed quite a treat. It is incredible to wrap your mind around how any one can compose for an entire band let alone this high school student. You have much to be proud of Paul!!</p> <br class="clear" /> Thu, 29 May 2008 11:01:58 -0500 arcy comment 3864 at http://www.hutchinsonleader.com http://www.hutchinsonleader.com/news/schools/young-composer-earns-top-scholarship-honors-8247 <p>Hutchinson High School senior Paul Cravens may be the first local student to be a National Merit Scholarship finalist — at least no one in the district can recall another student going that far in the competition. </p> <p>The scholarship will be an award of up to $1,000 for four years, which is on top of the $50,000 Presidential Distinction Award Cravens received from his college of choice, Concordia College in Moorhead. The college scholarship is given to only 50 incoming freshmen and pays a sizable portion of tuition, which made his parents, Forrest and Bobbi Cravens certainly happy.</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.hutchinsonleader.com/news/schools/young-composer-earns-top-scholarship-honors-8247">read more</a></p> http://www.hutchinsonleader.com/news/schools/young-composer-earns-top-scholarship-honors-8247#comments Schools Thu, 29 May 2008 10:33:49 -0500 Lesley Christianson 8247 at http://www.hutchinsonleader.com
