Bailey Vaughn, a senior at Evangel Classical<br />
Christian School in <strong>Alabaster</strong>, AL, has a new<br />
achievement she can add to her resume, and it’s<br />
one that until now has never been reached by<br />
a high school student. Bailey, daughter of Phillip<br />
and Valorie Vaughn of <strong>Alabaster</strong>, will have<br />
an adaptation of her senior thesis published in<br />
Christian Research Journal - a scholarly theological<br />
publication with an emphasis on apologetics<br />
across all disciplines. According to Melanie Cogdill,<br />
Managing Editor, the vast majority of their<br />
submissions are from writers who hold doctorates<br />
of philosophy, and until the editorial board accepted<br />
Vaughn’s submission, they had no idea she<br />
was a high school student. Once they did find out,<br />
their feedback was complimentary: “The topic is<br />
noncontroversial and timely, with superheroes<br />
and other sorts of heroes being ever more the<br />
craze, with no sign of letting up. I started reading<br />
it and was immediately impressed with her prose<br />
and evident knowledge on the topic (the opening<br />
reference to The Dream of the Rood - outstanding,<br />
and the image of the ten-year-old boy reading<br />
“I always loved literature,<br />
and when we read the Iliad<br />
and Odyssey in 8th grade, I<br />
became interested in heroism<br />
for heroism sake.”<br />

the comic book under the sheet with a flashlight - very<br />
effective). When I read the whole thing I was even more<br />
impressed. How can this be a seventeen-year-old??<br />
There’s hope for the future yet.” Another editor offered,<br />
“Wow! God bless her parents, this is high level stuff I<br />
wasn’t even aware of till after my BA.”<br />
