National Merit Scholars Each year, in February, juniors have the opportunity to take the National Merit Scholarship Test. Those who take the exam- ination are tested on the knowledge they have of various high school subjects. Students with scores in the top one percent of the state be- come National Merit Semi-Finalists. The Semi-Finalists are later asked to outline their future educational plans. They are then interviewed by the companies sponsoring the scholarships. If a student is accepted by a company, he becomes a finalist. The semi-finalists this year are Alan Zukof, Linda Branyon, Mark A . Klein, Maggie Kimbel, Paul Paskey, and Jan McGav- ic. Students whose scores rank a few points lower than the semi- finalists ' , receive Letters of Commendation. The Letters of Commendation Winners this year are: Marsha Collins, Harry DeLoach, Frank Lilly, Mike McComas, and Bill Rubin. Pictured is Harry DeLoach, one of the Let- ters of Commendation winners.
