<p>Anthony D'Amato has dreams to spare. Along with the talent and drive to achieve several. </p>
<p>"Of course, I'd love to be a rock star," says this year's Star-Ledger Scholar for Warren County, a top senior at Blair Academy in Blairstown. "But it wouldn't be so bad to be a well-known writer about music. And composer." So says the writer for Upstage Magazine who has interviewed Bruce Springsteen and Gordon Lightfoot. </p>
<p>He's a great athlete, in baseball and track. And he doesn't just contribute to causes, he organizes benefits for them. With his brother Nicholas -- a Star-Ledger Scholar chosen in 2001 who is now in graduate school at Duke University -- Anthony raised $5,000 to help build a school in Afghanistan. He also arranged a fundraising concert for victims of Hurricane Katrina. </p>
<p>Anthony plays guitar, bass, piano and harmonica for his band, Tracks, and the French horn for the academy's orchestra. </p>
<p>He scored 1590 on the SAT I test, and scores of 730 or higher on SAT II exams in physics, math and history. </p>
<p>Anthony will attend Princeton University, his brother's undergraduate alma mater.</p>
