....... WHITONIAN ....... THE SCHOLARSHIP TEAM The Senior Scholarship team gets bigger and better every year. This year six were picked to take the State tests for Seniors, held at Scott High School, in Toledo, on March 25, 1955. Those six were Robert Shadle, James Ammon, Phyllis Benson, Ruth Daniels, Wilbur Doren, and Emily Bradford. The participants elegible for these tests were chosen because of high ranking in several high school courses. The tests were composed of questions on five subjects: Science, Mathematics, English, History, and Current Events. These subjects cover those taken during four years in high school by students taking a college-preparatory course. The Science tests included General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The History test questions covered World History, American History, and the History of Ohio. The English test questions were based on grammar, and on English and American Literature. The Current Events questions were a test to discover how well we had read our daily papers and veekly magazines, and included the happenings of the past twelve months in our own and foreign countries. M thematios proved to be the downfall of the Seniors this year, as many of them had taken only a few such courses. Of these six Seniors, Robert Shadle made the highest score, 255 points, a gain of about 55 points over the highest score of last year's group from Whitehouse. The next highest was James Am on, and the others followed in the order in which they are listed above. The larger Scholarship Team, composed of two outstanding scholars in each of the various classes in High School, took their tests on Thursday afternoon, April ll, at Waterville High School. The team was as follows: Algebra I Loretta Thomas and Corrine Canfield Plane Geometry General Science Melvin Mesnard and Clifton Studer John wilson and Orin Allman Physics Robert Shadle and Ernest Bradley Latin I Esther Bucher and Isabelle Eckel latin II Ruth Daniels and Robert Barnett English I Thelma Rupp and Jeanne Bradley English II Robert Green and Helen Bucher English III Virginia Boyer and Frances Baranowska English IV James Ammon and Phyllis Benson World History American Histor Y Aleane Green and Bernita Weckerly Willard Bidwell and John Weckerly The general opinion of the students, which this reporter gained by repeated questioning was that the tests were not extremely difficult but were too long to allow much time for careful consideration of questions. Only a few on the team completed their tests, and fewer still had time to re-check their answers for accuracy. The tests this year, we believe, stimulated more real interest and enthusiasm than those of previous years. We regret that Whitehouse did not place any members on the Coun- ty Scholarship Team, but the students of the three lower classes are looking forward to next year and another opportunity.
