This year 50 seniors vied for honors in this con- test. The senior test is of a general nature, all contestants being required to answer ques- tions in the fields of English, history, mathe- matics and science. Since no student can specialize in all these fields, training received in one branch of learning will compensate for a lack of learning in another. Thus all contestants have an equal chance. The annual American Legion contest con- sists of the writing of compositions by nearly all students enrolled in the senior high school. Subjects are designated by the Legion committee and winners receive cash prizes for their efforts. X .ASQ 24 American Legion Essay Winners Robert Mosier and Jo Ann Oxley.

The State Scholarship Tests mark the final event in the yearls series of scholastic contests. These examinations are of a special- ized nature, with two students being per- mitted to take the test in each subject. This year 54 F.H.S. students from the sophomore. junior and senior classes took the examinations at Bowling Green State University early in May. Every year the D.A.R. organization pre- sents state-wide tests to senior girls who can qualify for them on the basis of scholarship, citizenship and character.
