The Fayetteville Optimist Club has chosen two students from Fayette County High School as its Outstanding Youth for 1999.

Senior Jasmine Black is a member of the school Beta Club, color guard and symphonic band. Last year she was captain of the varsity swim team and lieutenant of the marching band.

Additionally, she participates in community service projects as well as being active in her church.

She has applied to three colleges and expects to major in biology or Latin American studies, anticipating a career as a marine biologist or the foreign diplomatic corps.

Adam Ellis is a senior at Fayette County High School. He has worked all four years on the annual staff and is editor in chief this year.

He is in his second year in the Select Chorus as well as the quartet. He belongs to the French Club, Key Club, varsity track and cross country. Currently he is a member of the Beta Club, National Honor Society, Student Government and Theatrix.

As members of the Beta Club, these students visit LaFayette Nursing home each week and deliver Meals on Wheels once a month in Clayton County.

The Optimist Outstanding Youth were presented with a plaque.
