We are so proud of our Scholars of Sturges who received literary awards this year! Congratulations to all who won, and all who applied. This year’s winners are…
Kacie Iuvara ’18, Nicole White ’18, Sean Yang ’18, Adriana Rodriguez ’18, and Elizabeth Anderson ’18 for the Class of 1870 Memorial Prizes. Fifty years after their graduation, the class of 1870 published their own alumni magazine, which they called The Golden Chain of Fifty Links. In it, they announced the creation of a yearly literary award of “not less than $50 to be awarded to a student member of the ‘English Writer’s Club’ who, in the judgment of the English faculty, shall have produced the best original composition—story, essay, drama, etc.—in verse or prose.” Five awards are presented to students who submit the best original work in the categories of Fiction (Sean), Creative Non-fiction (Nicole), Poetry (Elizabeth), Academic/Scholarly (Kacie), and Playwriting/Screenwriting (Adriana).
