He can now have a choice of which college he attends. Mr. Whitaker says that he is very proud and surprised to be a part of such an honor.

Congratulations! .loni Baker scores tops on National Merit Scholarship Exam - thats right, Joni is one of a select group of students from the entire nation. Miss Joni L. Baker was born January 15, 1965 to Mr. and Mrs. Kizer Baker. When asked what her Hrst reaction to her exam score was, she said, My Hrst reaction was complete surprise. My S.A.T. scores didn't seem that far above average. And I realized that I was competing against the best in the nation. After that 1 gained more conHdence in myself and my abilities. Asked to describe the test, .loni commented, The test was only as hard as you made it. The areas of thc test were math and English. There were, however, some drawbacks to scoring so well. The only thing bad for me was that sometimes people would not allow mc to be human and make a mistake. Right after the announcement of my winning, I made a bad score on a chemistry test and people made a big thing out ol' it even though 1 had made bad scores before and they didn 't say anything. Other than this lpeoples commentsj, winning was great! Jonis plans for the future include attending U of K. majoring in computer science and business administration. eh olarshi p Exam 29
