Distinguished Finalist

Clayton Smith, 17, of Sharpsville, Ind., a senior at Tri-Central High School, has raised $4,000 to support the medical needs of three local children by performing magic shows. Clayton, a self-taught magician who began performing when he was eight years old, created the "Class Act Magic Club" to inspire others interested in learning magic to perfect their skills while performing for free for both children and adults at community events.
