By scoring high on the Preliminary Scho- lastic Aptitude Test QPSATJ, a standardized test given to high school students, students could qualify for scholarships in the National Merit Finalist competition. To be even a semifinalist in the competition they needed to attain a 99 percentile. The difficulty in attaining such a lofty percentile was evidenced by the small number of stu- dents who made it into this bracket. Out of the 512 PNH students who took the PSAT, only four became semifinalists. The PNH stu- dents who achieved national merit semifina- lists ranking were: Manish Shah, Sailendra Sunkara, Julius Yang, and Julie Yu. Twelve other students received a commended rank- ing.

Early English Litera- turefShakespeare class, with Mr. Thomas X Wehling as the teacher, made this week possible. X The week began with students picking a path to follow. Sharon Darley took the reli- gious route. She started as a midwife and worked her way up to being a saint. Medi- tating in front of the class was one of the embarassing tasks that was required of , f Sharon. Chivalry Week was a different way to learn about the medieval time besides . reading books and class discussion, said Mary Keller, who evolved from a maiden to a queen. 1 Julius Yang invented something new to Chivalry, the Evil Knight, who did bad things to people. Julius stole chalk from Mr. David Lay, science teacher, and hid it M from him every day throughout the week. -Deborah Diamond -photos by Amy Jentes S .XX Q s X N.
