Semifinalists were announced in Sep- tember, making them eligible for National Merit Scholarships. They were also invited to participate in Summerfield and Watkins scho- larship competition at the University of Kansas and Putnam Scholarship competition at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Students scoring just below the semifinal- ists were awarded Letters of Commendation in recognition of high performance on the quali- fying test. In May, announcements were made of 1967 National Merit Scholars.
