Proviso Honors Illinois State Scholars When students display outstanding ability in sports, they are immediately recognized and praised for their talent. These athletes receive many honors, scholarships, and nods of approval from their classmates. But what about the academic athletes of our school? These students put their minds through a vigorous workout everyday and are seldom told what a superior job they are doing. The MURAL would like to take this opportunity to con- gratulate the members of the National Honor Society and the winners of Illi- nois State Scholarship awards. These students have shown outstanding abil- ity and deserve a pat on the back. Front: Hope Larkin, Judith Lorenzen, Andra Ziemelis, Michele Pantone, Roda Baylon.

For many Juniors, the PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests are among the first steps towards college. These exams take a lot of time, effort, and energy. The questions range from simple to challenging questions. Although these tests may seem impractical to some, they do provide advantages for a few people. The PSAT is also a prerequisite for the National Merit Scholarship. Four students, Paul DelJudice, Bill Bick- ley, Roda Baylon, and Sam Gulino scored in the top 5176 of all who took the exam. Of these three made semi- finals, and two made finals. Sam and Roda now have a 4072, chance of receiving scholarships ranging from S2000 to full tuition. The three who made the semi-finals are pictured at the left receiving an award from Mr. Milano. These students are Roda Baylon, Sam Gulino, and Bill Bickley.
