H818 5001385 197 Hey, what did you get on the PSAT? NBrian Hale's score enabled him to become a National Merit Semi- finalist after he scored a 197 out of 240 on the PSAT, a college test taken by juniors. I thought I did OK on the PSAT. but I had no idea I would get the score I received, commented Brian. He was picked as a semi finalist on the basis of his score which had to be at least in the 190s This was the first step in becoming a National Merit F1 nalist and having a chance to receive a scholarship to the college of his choice. However, scoring high on the SAT in his senior year was the deter- mining factor. With or without the merit recognie tion, Brian should not have had any trouble being accepted into colleges. However, Brian said, Being named a semi-finalist has given me more confie dence in filling out applications to col- leges and universities Whether or not Brian IS able to make it to the finals he has something to show for his efforts throughout his high school years Marsh Kelly Swimming I2 Marsicano Brian SC O'l I4 Vice President 3 l it siclcnt 4 NIIS 3 4 C ull 2 3 Prinnipal s Advisory C onimittee 4 Martell Loraine Powder Puff Football l Ski C lub Z C ottball 2 Martire Cherie 'lhespiins 24 Nll 24 Speak Easy C lub 2 4 C irls C lub Bond 2 Band I 2 Speech Team 2 4 C in 4 :plain 4 Matlock, Michele Matras, Keith - NHS 3,43 Golf I-43 Baseball I3 Varsity Vliib 3,43 SCOT Rep 43 Boys Club Rep 4 Matyasik, Lynn - Cross Country l-43 Track l'3: NHS 3,43 Varsity Club 3,43 Band l Mazgaj, Donald McAdams, Monica - Bagpipe 3,4, Business Manager 3, liclitcn'-iri-crliiet 43 llighlariders I-4, Coechairman 4, Secretary 33 l.assies 3,4, Coecraptain 43 Class Secretary 2'4j NHS 3,43 llomecoining Court 43 Quill and Scroll 3,4 McAfee, Idreana McBride, Tracey - Band 1,23 PUBS 43 Homecoming Queen 43 Basketball 3,43 Dli Vice President 4 McClellan, Tony - WECE P I3 CWT 4 McClinton, Thyris - Choir I-33 HERO 43 AFS 4 McDonald, Kelly McDonough, Michael - Soccer 2-43 VICA 43 Ski Club 3,4 McGraw.
