They will take another rigorous exami- nation, the three-hour Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College En- trance Examination Board, to be given in testing centers through- out the nation on December 2, 1961. Students whose scores on the second test substantiate their per- formance on the qualifying test and are endorsed by their high schools will become finalists in the competition. In past years, more than 97 per cent of the semifinalists have become final- ists. These receive a Certificate of Merit in recognition of their performance. As finalists, students are eligi- ble for scholarship awards spon- sored by about 130 groups, indi- viduals, and by the N.M.S. Cor- poration itself.

Classroom and Faculty e teachers and their classes Are well-remembered things hen reflecting back on a class What memories it brings! The Latin class meant projects And Geometry meant graphs, And some results from art class Were always good for laughs.
