The first step for all students who wish to enter the nation­ wide Merit Scholarship com­ petition is to take the Nation­ al Merit Scholarship Qualify­ ing Test (NMSQT). The test will be given in the school at 9 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 14 ( or Tuesday, Feb. 17), 1970. Taking the NMSQT is also the first step for students who wish to participate in other scholarship programs adminis­ tered by the National Merit Scholarship corporation (NM- SC). These programs include the National Achievement Schol­ arship Program for outstanding Negro students and Special Scholarship programs adminis­ tered by NMSC for business and industrial firms. When his NMSQT scores are reported, each participating student will receive a hand­ book to help him understand his scores and compare his test performance with that of other high school students across the country. The handbook, which contains information about making college choices and fi­ nancing a college education, is furnished as a part of re­ porting the student's test re­ sults. Other interpretive mat­ erials are sent to the school. The highest-scoring students in each state will be named Merit Program Semifinalists and will be eligible for Mer­ it Scholarship consideration. In addition to the Natipnal Merit Scholarships financedbyNMSC, more than 400 business cor­ porations, foundations, col­ leges, professional associa­ tions, unions, trusts, other or­ ganizations, and individuals of­ fer scholarships through the Merit Program. About 21,800 students have won Merit Scholarships in the fourteen programs to date. Ap­ proximately 3,125 new winners of Merit Scholarships entered college this fall.

ORCHIDS DEPARTMENT Orchids and more orchids to Mary Mahon and her committee who do a fantastic job on the rummage sale held on Oct. 11 and 12. ROADS Rain, rain go away! Wow, what that rain does to our roads. Any doubt that we need to have better roads for Hol­ iday Hills? Let's all get our money in now so that we get them taken care of before the weather makes it impossible. In order to keep them pass­ able, someone has been out with the grader. Rick Postal was out at least one day and I'm not sure who was out on the other days, but whoever it was, we who use those roads and have children on buses appreciate it. Unfortunately, even, if it is done late in the afternoon, and it rains all night, they are all washed away again, but we ap­ preciate the consistent efforts of those who run and main­ tain the grader. NEWSPAPERBOY AWARD Our congratulations to Gary Connell who once again is the recipient of an outstanding newspaperboy award. He was one of only four boys chosen from McHenry c( unty.
