prize of $100 in the Greenbrier
County Litter Control Coalition's
Logo Contest held this spring
throughout the county's public
schools. The Greenbrier West High
School junior's entry will appear on
the coalition's stationery and official
documents.
Miss Milam's logo features the
organization's name in dark blue let-
ters on a grey background, with the
admonition, "Don't litter" in red let-
ters on either side. In the center is a
green outline of the county onto
which a drawing of a grey trash can
is placed. The words "Help Keep
Greenbrier County Green," printed
in black, surround ~the county out-
line.
Erin Boone, a student at Alder-
son Junior High School, was named
the $100 grand prize winner of the
poster division. The winning poster
entry pictures a pair of "space ali-
ens" reconsidering their plans to
land on Earth as they look down on
the litter-strewn planet. "We can't
land! There's no room!" one says,
while the other exclaims, "Earth is
covered with litter!"
Coalition president Curt Keesee
of Smoot said the group hopes to
receive help from the West Virginia
University Extension Service to de-
velop the winning poster into high-
way signs to be placed at major en-
trances into the county.
The poster contest was open to
all elementary and junior high school
students throughout G~eenbrier
County. Each school picked first,
second, and third places n grade
bracket's 1-3 4-6, and 7-9. The final
nine posters from each school were
exhibited for two weeks in the Old
Stone Room of Carnegie Hall in Le-
wisburg, where they were judged.
The Westvaco Corporation provided
one-and-a-half tons of poster paper
for t he entries.
The logo contest was open to all
high school students. The three Io-
gos judged best at each of the two
county high schools were entered
and displayed in the final competi-
tion.
"The quality of these posters and
Iogos made it very difficult to decide

i
which were the best," judge Betty
McClung said.
"There were a lot of original ideas
expressed here," another judge,
Jeanne Brenneman, said.
According to Mr Keesee, "The
purpose of the contest was to start
an anti-litter 'mind-set' in our young
citizens. This is where to start in de-
veloping good attitudes." The effort
was handled through the teachers
and administrators of each school.
Every student who made a poster or
logo received a certificate of partici-
pation and appreciation.
Those who posters and logo
were selected to be exhibited and
judged were given certificates. An
awards reception will be held April
19, 6 p.m., at Carnegie Hall.
The Greenbrier County Litter
Control Coalition was organized in
1989 with the assistance of the
West Virginia Department of Natural

forts throughout the county. The
group hopes to have a similar
school-related event each year, ac-
cording to Mr Keesee.
