Special to the Town Crier

Kregg Quarles describes himself as a "happy kind of guy" - and his classmates agree. Students at Los Altos High School selected the recent graduate as an Outstanding Student of the Month for his positive attitude and for being an exceptional role model for other students.

Quarles has served as a peer tutor and as president of the Black Student Union, an organization that he said helped unify the student body.

Outside of the classroom, Quarles spent time on the track where he was on the varsity track and field team all four years of high school. His main events were the triple jump and the long jump. He won league championship in the triple jump.

Quarles was a member of the Robotics Team, where he designed a robotic arm. He also served as a student representative at the Egan eighth grade parent evening.

Quarles plans to attend Morehouse College in the fall, where he has been awarded a full scholarship.

Los Altos High School students selected Bonnie Wagner, a recent graduate, as an Outstanding Student of the Month for her musical ambition.

Wagner has been studying the piano for 11 years and has participated in the Certificate of Merit Program every year.

For the past two years, Wagner was a member of the Main Street Singers, a group that toured Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. She has been a soprano in Girl's 21 for three years, a member of the Concert Choir for four years, and played the keyboard for the jazz band during her freshman and sophomore years. She also was the accompanist for the musical "Pippin" a and played the piano and sang in the school production of the '40s Radio Hour this year.

Wagner plans to attend the University of Michigan as a music major in the fall.
