2 .4-ff' Juniors Struggle Through Merits Feb. 13, 1971 - One hundred and twenty-five sleepy-eyed iuniors took the National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test. Most of the scholars gathered in the Cafeteria at 8:l5, but some of them iust couldn't make it that early. The purpose of the test was to evaluate the knowledge accumulated by students in three years of high school. The test consisted of four main parts: English grammar, math usage, science, and word usage. Results will be received in Moy, at which time winners of Letters of Recommendation, Semi-Fi- nalists, and Finalists will be notified.

sf WFF's Practice Logic Feb. IO, 1971 - Walking into a Math Club meet- ing, one could see what appeared to be other stu- dents playing an expanded game of Dice. But with further examination it could be seen they were playing WFF's PROOF, a math logic game. The game consisted of students rolling out let- tered cubes and putting them in a special order in their minds and then telling the other participants of the game. The obiect of the game was to be' able to recog- nize and construct well-formed formulas. The members of the Math Club found it a very in- teresting, exciting, and fun game.
