Mr. Marlette also announced the complete national ACT schedule for the 1971-72 academic year. The schedule is (with corresponding registration periods in parenthesis): Oct. 16. 1971 (Aug. 23-Sept. 27); Dec. 11, 1971 (Oct. 4-Nov. 15); Feb. 26, 1972 (Nov. 29-Jan. 31); April 22, 1972 (Feb. 14-March 27); July 15. 1972 (April 10-June 19). For the fourth consecuitive year, the cost for taking the ACT examination-questionnaire is $6, despite increased services that are provided this year for the college-bound students and their high schools Last year approximately one million persons in the U.S. and overseas took the five-part battery, which is required or recommended for applicants at more than 1,900 colleges, universities, two-year colleges, scholarship agencies, and athletic conferences. The ACT battery, which takes about 34 hours to complete, includes a series of four tests designed to measure general ability to perform kinds of intellectual tasks typically required of college students. Another part of the examination
consists of questions about the students' t academic and nonacademic background, immediate plans for college, and career aspirations Resulting score reports are of valuable assistance to students in the complex and important tasks of pre-college planning. For this reason, it is recommended students take the ACT battery in their junior year or early in the senior year of high school.

By DIANE KESLER Egad! Onions again! Third time this week! Oops! Oh, excuse me — it's the onions. As I was saying, last week there was this pie eating congest. Boy, was that a horror! I f It the results for days. Oh, no, it’s 'ha* ime again. Just a minute —ll l tell you what’s coming. It's macaroni and cheese. M-m-not bad. Well, I got to get to work. This guy gulps a lot. Bye. (Stomach) ByJEFFHOERR I don’t come in different colors; I come in different sizes. I need food, or, the things inside of me won’t grow or live. Once in a while there is an addition to me.
Sometimes there is a death in me . then I get a general cleaning. Things inside of me come in different sizes. I don't like a temperature over 72 degrees. You can have me in any room, but I look better in the living room where people can look at me. If I would happen to break or crack — that’s the end of me. (Aquarium) By JOE GERENCSER I am very funny looking. Some people thing I am odd. Maybe it's because I have four legs, two feet, and two heads. I am an old softie who likes children although sometimes they are very rough on me. I am very sturdy and can take a lot of punishment I am rather helpless; so I always have to be dressed by someone. I just can’t make myself look neat without help. I never go anywhere. My days are pretty dull, but I have company every night (Bunkbed) By DAWN PRICE Today I had lots of close calls. This morning I was just casually flying across the road when suddenly this red mustang came charging down the road. Do you know — he almost ran me down. And, today, after lunch when I wasn’t doing anything except smelling of crumbs, this old lady came along and tried to kill me. Theone that tops them aU is when I was flying over to the next yard. A big, red canfinal had the nerve to try to catch me. If there’s anything I can't stand — it's a mean, old bird!

KAREN ALLEN Koren Allen Is Semi-Finalist Principal Henry L. Smith of Wawasee high school has announced that Karen Allen has been named semifinalist in the 1971-72 National Merit Scholarship Program. Karen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Allen r 4, Syracuse. The approximately 15,000 semifinalists appointed today are among the nation’s most intellectually talented high school seniors. They will compete for some 3,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1972. The semifinalists were the highest scorers in their states on the national Merit Scholarship qualifying test (NMSQT), which was given last February to more than 655,000 students in about 16,600 schools nationwide. They constitute less than one per cent of the graduating secondary school seniors in the United States. The semifinalists are representative of the country’s most intellectually able young people, according to Edward C. Smith, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). “From this group will come many future leaders in business, industry, and the professions,” he said. “These students bring honor not only to themselves, but also to their families, their teachers, and their communities. The future success of these young people will, however, depend upon their ability to become productive at the high intellectual levels that they are capable of attaining.” Semifinalists must advance to Finalist standing to be considered for the Merit Scholarships to be awarded next spring. Semifinalists become finalists by receiving the endorsement of their schools, substantiating their high NMSQT performance on a second examination, and providing information about their achievements and interests. About 96 per cent of the semifinalists are expected to become finalists, and each will be considered for one of the 1,000 National Merit SI,OOO scholarships which are allocated by state. Many will also be considered for the renewable fouryear Merit Scholarships provided by some 500 corporations, foundations, colleges, unions, trusts, professional associations, other organizations, and individuals. Each Finalist will receive a certificate of merit in recognition of his outstanding performance in the program. Winners of four-year Merit Scholarships may receive up to $1,500 a year for four college years, depending on their individual need. Winners of the National Merit SI,OOO scholarships will receive their nonrenewable one-time awards upon enrollment as full-time students in accredited U.S. colleges or universities. High school grades, accomplishments, leadership qualities, and extracurricular activities of the finalists are evaluated, along with test scores, in selecting Merit Scholarship winners. NMSC identifies the semifinalists to all regionally accredited colleges and universities and to certain scholarship-granting agencies and other sources of financial aid. Students in former years have shown that about half of the Semifinalists received financial aid from sources other than the Merit Program. Names of the winners in the 1971-72 Merit Scholarship program will be announced in the spring of 1972. Some 28,000 students have received Merit Scholarships in the sixteen annual programs to date. About $Bl million in financial assistance to Merit Scholars and their colleges has been expended or committed through the Merit Program.
