Twenty-Two Students Get
National Merit Recognition
Grimsley is proud of receiving the results of the National
Merit Scholarships Qualifying Test taken by some of its stu
dents last spring. The reason is that Grimsley is unusally rep
resented in the large number qualifying.
Last spring, 17,100 high schools had students taking the
tests. Only 38,000 received Letters of Commendation. These
commended students show unusual promise and have their
names sent to their first and second choice of colleges.
