« ' » l. - Patricia Bray and Susan Peterson qualified as Pre Scholastic Aptitude Test National Merit Semi-finalists early in their senior year. This honor was bestowed on them after their PSAT scores were reviewed because they both placed in the top one-half percentile in Con- necticut. The next step for them was to apply as finalists. The top one-third of the semi-finalists sent their aca- demic grades, PSAT and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, along with transcripts, to be reviewed. The tran- scripts consist of a form letter much like a college appli- cation, relating their overall interests. Both girls wrote an essay describing themselves and what activities they are occupied with in their free time. These requirements, along with their individual counselor ' s recommendations, were sent in to the judging center along with the fifteen hundred other National Semi-finalists ' applications. The benefits of being a semi-finalist include being eligible for scholarships to the college of their choice and tuition free college education.

They were selected on the basis of their academic and or athletic achievements Each had the opportunity to meet many other talented teenag- ers, who came together to pool their creative abilities. Everyone present took an active part in the planning and the organizing of a town. Contact with the outside world was almost entirely extinguished, with the exception of a few guest speakers All of the students involved found it an excellent opportunity to learn more about govern- ment, to enjoy themselves, and to make new friends. 49

Lynne Knierim and Dorry Willoughby have been inter- ested in riding horses since they were very young. Dorry has always enjoyed reading stories about horses. At the age of eight, her parents consented to let her take riding lessons. She took lessons for four years and occasionally went to a dude ranch in New York for a couple of weeks in the summer. Dorry now boards a grade horse, two quarter horses, and a mule on her grandfather ' s farm. Dorry has won trophies in the west- ern saddle division in the 4-H shows around Connecticut. Lynn has been riding saddle seat for eight years in 4-H shows, where she is Vice President of her club, and American Horse Shows, which are nationally accredited. The 4-H club goes on trips and sponsors their own horse show in Simsbury. Lynne and her brother board horses and are presently looking for a horse to buy for them- selves. 51
