PICK 3 SENIORS FOR
SCHOLARSHIP TESTS

At a class meeting held last Dec.
10, three seniors from Laurel high
school were honored by their fellow
students when they were elected to
compete with seniors from other
high schools throughout the United
States and territories for the 121
four-year college scholarships and
more than 600 $50 certificates Of
merit being offered again by the
Pepsi-Cola scholarship board.
Chosen from among 81 of the
classmates as students "most likely
to make important contributions to
human progress" these boys and
girls will try with other Montana
high school seniors for the scholar
ships and certificates of merit which
are set apart specifically for this
state. They are Barbee Anderson,
Joel Roth and Bill Speare.
At 8 a. m. Friday, Feb. ID, at
the high school the candidates took
a special aptitude test which had
been especially prepared for the
competition by the college entrance
examination board, an independent
testing board composed of represen-
tatives of Americas largest col
leges and universities.
According to Principal John Mac
Donald, every precaution was taken
to insure the uniform testing neces-
sary for complete fairness to all
candidates throughout the country.
The tests arrived at his office in a
sealed package and were not opened
until the day of the examination and
then only in the presence of the
candidates.
That this test be administered
fairly and uniformly to all candi-
dates is imperative, Macdonald said,
it serves as n of the most
important bases for selecting boys
and girls to be awarded the scholar
and certificates of merit in
the nationwide competition.
Other factors to be taken into
consideration in choosing the win
ners will be school record, leadership
and financial need of the
candidates.
All winners will be announced
April 10.

Earth's Alarm Clock
Prize Contribution
BY Stephen Manning, Is

ST. Anthony's High
'Tis early morn; the crisp, moist air
Lies, a blanket DER the earth;
To the cool black soil still. clings the
dew,
A sheet of crystal fabric.
Then all at once in the East appears
A shaft of soft gray light
A herald of the warming sun,
Foreteller of his coming;
More shafts appear, and yet still
more
Shafts of crimson luster,
Till, at last, the sun bursts forth,
Bedazzling, golden vision:
With majesty, he starts his course
Across the endless heavens,
And earth throws of its covers now
And slowly wakes from sleep.
