MERIT
SCHOLARS--These 12 youngsters are tops scholastically in the Orlando-Winter
Park area. Those along the top row represent Winter Park High School
and they're the pride of Principal O. C. Wilson. The four at the left
in the lower row earned their meritorious standing at Edgewater High
School, while young Lantz and Miss Doelker became the first Colonial
High School students to win honors in the national exams. To become
semi-finalists these bright youngsters had to score above 143 in a
difficult series of tests which had a maximum score of 180. They will
take their finals on December 3. (Orlando
