That's Smarts National Merit Semifinalists This year there are seven National Merit Semifinalists at Minnetonka. To become a National Merit Semifinalist, their PSAT scores were ranked in the top .5% in the nation. In order to become National Merit Finalists, these students had to fill out an application, submit their grades, their SAT scores, and write an essay. If they become National Merit Finalists, many will receive substantial scholarships. PACE 22: Top Right: Christy Crabb; Yale University Book Award for excellence in social studies.

It's a chance for all students to come together and have some fun, and to show our school spirit. There were many activities planned throughout the week. It all started on Monday; a special homeroom was held where the whole school nominated the homecoming court. Tuesday we had our first pepfest. On Wednesday Tonka Boxers with that catchy phrase, I'm behind tonka , were seen everywhere. Thursday was 60's day. And finally on Friday the event everyone had been waiting for, the game against Richfield. The skippers pulled off an outstanding victory of 18 to 0. Saturday afternoon the annual powder puff football game took place. Once again the senior girls beat the skipperettes and cheerleaders. The concluding event of our homecoming week was the dance on Saturday night. For many, homecoming week was a special time, which will always be remembered. Pige 21.
