Brush Gains National Recognition With the prospect of winning scholarships while gaining scholastic recognition, juniors voluntarily compete in the National Merit Qualifying Test. Eight Brush seniors have distinguished themselves as semi- finalists, placing them among the top one percent of the test participants in Ohio. Most will be named finalists; as recipients of special scholarships, few are honored as National Merit Scholars. Also recognized for achievement are those stu- dents presented with a Letter of Commendation. Although ineligible for scholarships, they receive scores immediately below those of semi-finalists and are so honored.

Outstanding scholars at Brush inckide twenty-four students who have combined abihty and effort to earn point averages which rank them in the top three percent of the senior class. After seven semesters of high school studies, each of these stu- dents has found his formula to academic success. Yet the student ' s desire to learn in the classroom is complemented by his desire to learn through experience. The individual interests which these students have developed represent a cross section of the Brush sphere ranging from athletic and service organizations to music and publication groups. The balance which these scholars maintain between academic and extracurricular activities qualifies them as those among the best-prepared to meet the challenges of a complex and changing society. Sharon Mclntyre finds the card catalogue a convenient aid for locating required material.
