Winners |
Voluntary
Service
 STUDENT.
HUMANITA-RIAN. Fundraiser extraordinaire. At a mere glance, you
may seem like the average 14 year-old fourth former, but Courtney,
you have the mature soul and fortitude of a person several times
your senior. More

Public
Service
At a time when Jamaicans can ill afford to invest their dwindling
political capital in elected officials, you continue to enjoy the
reputation in the public's eye as a prime-time performer The
Man Who Gets Things Done. More
|
Sports
Dubbed a 'real late bloomer' in some track and field circles,
but that shy smile and quiet reserve are deceptive qualities as
your competitors are quick to find out as they stare at your spikes
as you race away from them. More
|
|
Entertainment
Musician. Performer. Super-star. Ex-Marine. Humanitarian. He was
raised in Flatbush, and got the nickname 'Shaggy' from the loveable,
cowardly character in the popular 'Scooby Doo' cartoons. More
|
Business
 BANKER.
LEADER. Innovator. Visionary. When the name of William 'Bill' Clarke
is uttered in business circles, the words 'pioneer' and 'stalwart'
immediately jump to mind. More
|
Science
& Technology
Back in the 1950's close friends and classmates jokingly called
you "Bones and Stones" because they thought you were crazy
to be interested in rocks and fossils, but you followed your dream
and your passion to become a qualified geologist. More

Merit
Award
We salute the Jamaica Cancer Society on its many achievements
over the past four decades. One such achievement is the establishment
of the Hope Institute at Papine in St. Andrew, a 32-bed hospital
where cancer patients are treated. This institute works in close
conjunction with the Kingston Public Hospital. Another is the provision
of a special wing to the University Hospital to accommodate recurrent
and late cancer cases.
