17 Nome Students
Will Take Merit
Scholarship Test
Seventeen students at Nome
High School plan to take the 1963
Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test,
Larry Bourger, principal, an
nounced today.
The test will be administered
at the school at 9 a.m. Tuesday,
March 5. All students who , wish
to be considered for Merit Schol
arships to be awarded in 1964
should take the test at that time.
The qualifying test is a three
hour examination of educational
development. The test is the first
step in the 9th annual competition
for four-year Merit Scholarships
provided by the National Merit
Scholarship Corp. and by sponsor
ing corporations, foundations, as
sociations, unions, and individuals.
The test scores of students who
are examined in March will be
reported to their schools before
May 15. The scores are used by
class advisors in many high
schools to help students make de
cisions about college attendance
and field study.
Some 13,000 semi-finalists, the
highest scorers in each state, will
be named early next fall. Names
of semi-finalists are published in
a booklet which is distributed to
all colleges and to other sources
of financial aid for undergraduates.
Further, their names and test
scores are sent to the colleges they
express an interest in attending
as their first or second choices.
The order of preference is not
shown.
Each semi-finalist will be asked
to take a second examination.
Those who repeat their high per
formance will become finalists in
the Merit program. Winners of
Merit Scholarships will be selected
from the finalist group on the
basis of school records and rec
ommendations, test scores, extra
curricular activities, leadership
ability, and accomplishments out
side the classroom. Each finalist
is awarded a Certificate of Merit
attesting to his outstanding per
formances.
The scholarship stipends are
based on financial needs. The min
imum award is $100 and the maxi
mum is $1,500. The average sti
pend awarded to freshmen Merit
scholars in 1962 was $345. Each
scholarship constitutes a form of
educational insurance, since the
stipend may be increased at any
time if the student’s financial
situation changes during the four
year term of the scholarship.

Lions Charter Night
Dance Much Enjoyed
“Everybody had a good time,”
seems to be the way to sum up
the Bering Sea Lions Club “Char
ter Night” dance at the A.N.G. Ar
mory last Saturday night.
Sweet and slow, or rock ’n roll,
the five-piece combo from the
752nd Air Force Band at Elmen
dorf, played them all.
The dance was also said to have
been the biggest and best held so
far in the armory.
The band had been scheduled to
play for four hours but they
elected to play an additional hour.
The door prizes were won by
Capt. Feeney, Frank Couch, and
Mike Kowchee. The limbo-rock
winners were Mary Pasquan, Ted
dy Longley and Wally Sanders.
The orchestra arrived in Nome
by Air Force plane Saturday mor
ning and were to have returned
this morning but their plane did
not show so they are staying over.
Sunday afternoon they played at
the North Star Seaview Room.
Fine Job Printing at the Nugget
Pamphlets Available
On Loans for Homes
The Nugget is in recepit of some
pamphlets from the Alaska Su
pervisor of the Farmers Home Ad
ministration in Fairbanks on rural
housing that outlines the eligi
bility requirements and terms that
individuals could expect if finan
cial assistance was asked for home
loans in connection with the in
stallation of water and sanitary
facilities.
Mr. Sanner, who heads the de
partment and sent the pamphlets
on the advise of Mrs. Jean Bu
rand, states that loans up to $1,500
may be made up to ten years
without real estate security. Loans
up to $2,500 could be made by
pledging security other than real
estate. Loans over $2,500 must be
secured by real estate mortgages.
The pamphlets are available at
the Nugget as long as they last.
More can be secured thru the
Fairbanks office.
John Hulney returned last week
after about a month in Seattle
where he had gone for dental
