What Is An NMSQT? It isn ' t an insect. It doesn ' t even have six legs. It ' s the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. North had one finalist, Abe Singer. He was one of 15,000 students across the country to be named as finalists and to have the opportunity to compete for four Merit Scholarships. To have won, a finalist had to fill out and send in an application (in the form of a personal profile) to a selection committee. With this added to the test score, the top four in the rankings would receive a scholarship. I didn ' t know what it was, he said. I just wanted to see how well I could do. Singer ' s accomplishment proved to be one of the academic standouts of the class of 1983. Steven M. Kuinius CSF, Key Club Krystal D.

To seniors, it meant more than that. It was the beginning of their final year. Registration was anything but a new ex- perience for seniors. For most, it was an unpleasant experience. I hated it when I was a freshman, sophomore, and junior, and I hate it as a senior, declared Tammi Stone. Who enjoyed the mayhem in which everyone arrived at 6 am to get his priority number only to find half the students there ahead of him? Many students remembered how many times they stood in line for a class forever only to reach the table to find the closed sign had been put up, requiring the whole schedule to be rearranged. Through all the lines and hassles, seniors could still find time to smile; registration meant graduation wasn ' t too far away! ■he problems seemed endless to Sheri Hester who liscusses her difficulties with a counselor. Monica Spinoza and Michael Diaz wait in line at the busy ounselcirs ' table. registration 93
