Even better than the dollar value of the scholarship is the combination of skills in this competition:
Public Speaking, Poetry, Short Short Stories and Archery (!)
But a reading of the fine print shows that the archery competition is actually separate–the winner gets a fine horse-hair bridle instead of a year’s tuition at BYU.
Speaking of Short Short Stories, I just thought of a few, from those halcyon days in the early 1970s when short shorts (or hot pants, if you prefer) were all the rage. : )

My entry into the short short story competition.
Bill died.
(It’s a tragedy.)

Archery with homemade equipment? Shooting things in flight? This would be so much more entertaining than stake basketball…
Knowing $70 was a year’s tuition at BYU puts Ayln’s $80 dollar lavender dress in perspective. No wonder her husband had migraines!

When I started at UofU in 1957, I had a scholarship of $100, split among three quarters. I thought I had it made.
