One will present her findings in neurobiology to the American Academy of Sciences; another put together her school's first campus TV station.

The wrong photograph ran with an article about Lindsay Amsberry of Fullerton Union High School in Thursday's edition. Amsberry was among students recognized in Salute to Seniors '93 for their accomplishments and leadership. Amsberry finished first academically in her class and was also on the school's cross-country, track and soccer teams. She is a full diploma candidate in the International Baccalaureate Program. Amsberry, a resident of Fullerton, plans to attend Brown University.

The members of the Class of '93 are as varied in their accomplishments as they are in their backgrounds.
They come from traditional two-parent families, from homes with one parent and from foster homes. They hold down jobs to earn spending money, to save for college, to help feed the family. Some have recently arrived in this country--from as close as Mexico and as distant as Romania and Uganda--and have mastered a new language and culture. All have found the strength to succeed in a world that has not always been gentle.
For this, its second annual Salute to Seniors, The Times invited Orange County high schools to nominate students who have distinguished themselves in the areas of leadership, academics and arts.
From those nominees, one student from each of 75 high schools in the county was chosen to be featured in today's edition--students who may not be their school's "top" student, but who by their involvement and accomplishments seem to especially represent the hopes of the future.
The Times salutes these students and their 23,000 classmates who form Orange County's graduating class of 1993. In their successes, there is much about which to be optimistic.
