Show Millard County Chronicle National Merit Scholarship Contest Fourteen students at Delta High School took the 1962 National Merit Scholarship Test last Tuesday, March 6, 1962. The qualifying test was a three-hour examination of educational development. The test is the first step in the eighth annual an-nual competition for four-year Merit Mer-it Scholarships provided by the National Na-tional Merit Scholarship Corporation Corpora-tion and by sponsoring corporations foundations, associations, unions, and individuals. The number of scholarships a-warded a-warded in any year depends upon From the Office Of the Principal The Hole of the Parent In the Education of the Child In a recent publication of the Utah Parent-Teacher Bulletin, Mrs. James W. Ure III, president of our state association, makes this statement: state-ment: "While P-TA is primarily concerned with the education of youngsters, we recognize that par ents themselves must hold a high regard for education if children are to be motivated and guided into constructive channels. The State School Law states that parents' responsibility is to see that children attend school. Any parent who willfully fails to comply with the compulsory school attendance law is guilty of a misdemeanor. Every parent, guardian, or other having control of any minor between be-tween 6 and 18 years of age is re- quired to send such minor it a public pub-lic or regularly established private school during the regularly established estab-lished school period of the district in which he resides. It is the duty of parents to see that their children take the proper attitude toward school if learning is to be successful. No student will do his best who feels ill toward teachers of the school in general. It is, therefore, a cooperative affair af-fair between students, parents, and teachers to create a wholesome learning atmosphere. . For the student away from home: the Millard County Chronicle.

In 1961, 945 Merit Scholarships were awarded; 556 were provided by 133 sponsors and 389 by the Merit Corporation. There are 3275 Merit Scholars attending 403 colleges col-leges in the current academic year. The test scores of students who are examined in March will be reported re-ported to their schools by May 15. The scores are used by class advisors ad-visors in many high schools to help students make decisions about college col-lege attendance and field of study. Many students who do not expect to win a scholarship take the test in order to learn more about their individual strengths and weaknesses weak-nesses in the areas measured by the test. Some 10,000 semlfinalists, ' the highest scorers in each state, will be named early next fall. Names of semifinalists are published in a booklet which is distributed to all colleges and to other sources f financial aid for undergraduates. Further, their names and test scores are sent to the colleges they express an Interest In attending attend-ing as their first or second choices. The order of , preference is not shown. " An additional 25,000 students, selected se-lected on a national basis, receive letters of commendation for their high performance on the qualify.ng test. These students are considered for special awards made through the Merit Corporation, and their names and test scores are also sent to their first and second choice colleges. Each semifinalist will be asked to take a second examination. Those who repeat their high performance per-formance will become finalists in the Merit Program. Winners of Merit Scholarships will be selected from the finalist group on the basis ba-sis of school records and recommendations, recom-mendations, test scores, extracurricular extracur-ricular activities, leadership ability and accomplishments outside the classroom. Each finalist is awarded a certificate of merit attesting to his outstanding performance. The scholarship stipends are based on financial need. The minimum mini-mum award is $100 and the maximum maxi-mum is $1500. The average stipend awarded to freshmen Merit Scholars Scho-lars In 1961 was $847. Each scholarship scho-larship constitutes a form of educational edu-cational insurance, since the stipend sti-pend may be increased at any time if the student's financial situation changes during the four-year term of the scholarship. Those that took the Merit test were: Russell Finlinson, Cordeil Cropper, Ronnie Mortensen, Jimmy Nielson, Glen Lee Roper, Bob Barber, Bar-ber, Carol Ann Pratt, Reena Bunker, Bunk-er, Milton Jeffery, Janet Nielson, Judy Shepherd, Mary Ann Harbert, Lexiane Merrell and Karen Moody. This was a gruelling test; we wish each the best of luck. DJtJS. oi the Week STEVEN ROWLEY Steven Rowley, son of Loren and Beulah Rowley of Deseret, is a very friendly Senior at Delta High. He is the oldest in a family of six children. His classes are trigonometery, physics, English 12, Chemistry II, bookkeeping,, shop, and athletics.

We think he is genuinely sincere in wanting to do the things that are asked of him in the best way possible. pos-sible. He is very business-like in all his work, having proven himself him-self as a very capable statistician and record keeper in our sports department. de-partment. Steve has been manager of the wrestling squad and was! honored by Coach Horlacher in one of our recent assemblies. Coach made the comment that once Steve is given a job he can depend on having it done well, and that he is the best statistician he has ever had. This is a compliment in anyone's any-one's language. Steven has been outstanding in track. He has worked three years and we are anticipating great things this year because he is so diligent in his training. Steve says, "I am proud to be a part of the studentbody of Delta High School. I have enjoyed very much the friendship of those with whom I have associated.

Several years ago a particular High School summoned a young man to teach in these three steps, but in a field in which these factors fact-ors are often forgotten in a desire for fame and status.

Unfortunately, the tourney doors slammed on the Delta Del-ta a bit early with Delta's thumb in it. Delta locked horns with two old opponents Gunnison and BY High. Delta's shooting was extremely extre-mely frigid, as if the bucket had a lid on it; however, their floor game was impressive. If nothing else, there wasn't a better dressed or flashier team in Provo. DELTA 37 GUNNISON 51 This game went sour from the first. Delta had their share of foul troubles. Gunnison raked in the majority of their tallies at the foul line during the 1st period. From 3rd Science Fair t Snow College The third annual South Central Utah Science Fair will be held at Snow College April 7 for secondary schools from a seven-district area. Dr.' H. B. Christensen, chairman of the college division of Physical Sciences and Mathematics, has been named general chairman of the fair. He said that invitations have been sent to all junior and senior high schools in the Juab, North Sanpete, South Sanpete, Sevier, Wayne, Piute, and Millard school districts. Students will enter exhibits in junior and senior divisions, which will be judged separately. Winners in the senior division will be eligible eligi-ble to enter the State Science Fair. Prizes will be awarded to first and second place winners in the physi cal and biological sections, Dr. Christensen said. Assisting him in making arrangements arrange-ments for the fair are Snow College staff members Afton Hansen, Ru-lon Ru-lon Peterson, Farrin L. Mangelson, Blaine Moore, Milton Armstrong and Lee W.

Looking back on the few years of Coach Allred's reign tells the story not only of three consecutive years in the Class B tournament but also of the caliber of players he produces as well, this year's roster being the prime picking of them all. Nowhere could be found 12-more all-around MEN centralized on one team than those displayed by Coach Allred this year. They had no secret commands or push button but-ton controls from teh coach that told them when to jump, when to shoot, or when to move, as many dominated teams have. These 12 men were trained to think and act for themselves, the responsibility being .theirs as to what to do next. In my opinion too few people realize re-alize the great ability Coach All-red All-red has in turning boys into men. So to you we say, "Thanks, Coach, for a job well done!" Jim Nielson then on, the Bulldogs blew the game wide open, their "Hills boys" turning into a king-size headache for the Deltan five. After a relatively rela-tively close 11-9 opener, the periods progressed as follows: 28-14; 40-24; and a final score of 51-37, the Bulldogs Bull-dogs on top end. The Rabbits outhustled the Bulldogs Bull-dogs after a vicious full-court press was turned on, but poor shooting left the bulldogs out front. Dean Perkins, recognized, as one of the sharpshooters of the tournament, tourna-ment, was held to a sparse 12 points. Paul Pace bagged 5 field goals to run up 10; and Lonnie Hales paced third with 8. DELTA 52 B. Y. HIGH 55 These two teams stumbled into each other in the pre-season tilts, the B.Y.er's walking all over the Deltans. B.Y. found Delta "no sweat" back in those days, and B.Y. walked off with an 8 to 10 point advantage. I B.Y. found out Thursday night that they were playing a different ball club. Although B.Y. topped the Rabbits by 3 points, they had no easy task of it. The game progressed progress-ed point-for-point throughout, and neither crew held more than a 4 point edge at any time. The game j progressed on to a nearly unbearable unbear-able climactic finish. With only a minute remaining, the score was tied 52-52, and B.Y. had the ball. They turned on a deliberate stall, and Delta clawed frantically for the ball. John Paxman dropped in a long one to push B.Y. ahead 54-52. Delta called time out, and it was discovered that it was one too many ma-ny for big D. One foul shot by B.Y. sewed it up at 55-52. Dean Perkins put on a one-man exhibition of 26 points, and secured se-cured the 4th highest berth point-wise point-wise in the tourney to that date. Rick Farnsworth was way behind but second with 8, and Phil Adams landed 6. Delta 13 28 44 52 B.Y. High 11 30 42 55 MEW mum W1TU... IMMsi Ford's fuB tim. economy only starts with low price.
