Satisfaction to Winners Competition came to Pueblo in many forms other than sports. In scholarship, students pitted their brain power against others. In the case of John Anderson, it paid off spectacularly. Being se- lected a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship qualified him as a true scholar and gave PHS pride in his achievement. Math and science test winners proved their ability to themselves and to the universities being considered. Taking exams dealing with one aspect of education helps them know whether they really want to pursue the subject. Another form of competition is in industrial arts. The young men who won recognition at the Arizona state fair will soon find themselves out in the world competing for the better jobs in their vocation. Their ex- perience teaches a need for excellence. Homemaking may seem routine-except when the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award brings a scholarship to an outstanding girl. 46 Precision in every detail is essential to satisfactory work in industrial arts courses. Each young man who won a state fair award aimed at this ideal. Frank Saenz,
