COMMUNITY NES : 2 11TH-GRADERS EARN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS.

Byline: Virginia Gonzalez Daily News Staff Writer

Good grades, involvement in their communities, churches and local organizations and the desire to succeed by pursuing higher education have earned two local 11th-graders college scholarships from different organizations.

Toby Marsh, 16, of Palmdale has been selected by members of the San Fernando Valley chapter of Beta Pi Sigma, a business and professional sorority, to receive a scholarship worth more than $2,000.

Amy Messigian, 16, of Northridge also will receive more than $2,000 from the Northridge Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund in order to attend Junior State's three-week summer program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Along with about 200 students from across the country, Messigian will be shown how the nation's government works.

Messigian, who maintains a 4.3 grade point average at Monroe Law and Government Magnet High School in North Hills, was presented with the scholarship at a Northridge Chamber of Commerce luncheon Friday.

Marsh, an honors medical student in Palmdale High School's magnet program, will be honored at a fund-raising dinner scheduled for Saturday at the Red Lion Hotel in Glendale that Beta Pi Sigma members hope will help supplement the scholarship, said Sofia Williams, a sorority member.

Marsh plans to use her scholarship to attend Clark University in Atlanta and hopes to major in business law and business entrepreneurship.

Additional donations can be made to both scholarships by contacting Ora Skipper, Beta Pi Sigma's event chairwoman, at [phone] or the Northridge Chamber of Commerce at [phone].

A Glendale hospital contest to find the funkiest snorers in town is offering help for the winners and for their mates who find themselves rocked out of bed in the middle of the night by growls, gurgles and whistles.

Medical staff members from Glendale Adventist Medical Center will study the strangest and loudest snores captured on videotape and award a free snoring evaluation valued at approximately $1,800, officials said.

Interested individuals must send a videotape or audio tape of themselves or their favorite snorer to the Sleep Disorders Center of the medical center at 1509 Wilson Terrace, Glendale, Calif. 91206 postmarked no later than May 31, organizers said.
