From the May 18, 1972 edition of The Wayne Herald:

WHS Student Ranks 3rd In State AATG Tests

Word was received this week by Wayne High School German Teacher Inge Atkins that Lisa Lesh had placed third in the statewide AATG tests given in March at Wayne-Carroll High School.

The school had been notified about a month ago that Miss Lesh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lesh, and Kay Pankratz, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harlan Pankratz, were among the semifinalists in the state competition.

In order to be in the semifinalists, students had to be in the top 90 percent.

One hundred twenty-four students competed for the first place
prize of a trip to Germany.

Miss Lesh, one of the ten prize-winning finalists, received an illustrated edition of Goeth, a German writer.

The American Association of Teachers of German tests were administered to 17,000 students across the nation, with a trip to Germany being offered one student from each chapter.
