THE SHAMROCK TEXAN, SHAMROCK, TEXAS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER
LONG DAYS COULD PROVIDE POWER ON THE MOON-The
sun shines bright on the moon 14 days at a time—called a
lunar day—and Westinghouse of Pittsburgh, Pa., proposes
using the long-lasting solar energy to provide power for
lunar base shelter modules, shown in an artist’s conception.
Power during the lunar nights—also 14 days long—would
be provided by fuel cells installed In the shelter modules and
supplied with fuel by means of hydrogen-oxygen tanker
modules in the background.
Seventh Grade
Gridmen Blank
Wellington, 8-0
By MBS. CHARLES GRAGG
With Collie, Range, Bond and
Elix carrying the ball for the Irish,
the seventh graders kept the Junior
high victories coming Shamrock’s
way with an 8-0 victory over Well-
ington last Thursday afternoon.
So far this year the junior high
teams of Shamrock remain un-
defeated.
Behind a key ‘block thrown by
Travis McLaughlin, little David
Range went over for the Irish TD
in the first quarter of play. Rickie
Collie ran the two points and the
Irish were ahead to stay.
The last three quarters of the
game saw the two teams exchange
punts several times as the defenses
refused to give yardage.
Coach John Horan had this to
say about the game:
"They all played real hard. Their
air-tight defense was proved by the
fact that Wellington was unable
to manage a first down during the
entire game. They had a real fine
kicker — the finest I have ever
seen in junior high competition. It
was a good ball game and I was
proud of ail of them."

1966 Graduates
Should Register
For Merit Test
All 1966 graduates of Shamrock
High School who wish to enter
the 1965-66 National Merit Scho-
larship competition should regist
er now at the school office, Prin-
cipal Boyd Williams said today.
The National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test will be given in
the school at 9 a.m., Tuesday
March 9. Students who will com-
plete secondary school In 1966 and
enter college in the same calen-
dar year are eligible for scholar-
ship consideration in the 1969-80
Merit Program.
Merit Scholarships are four-
year awards. The extent of a win-
ner's financial need determines the
amount of his stipend.
To recieve consideration, the
student must take the test when
it is offered in his school. Partici-
pating students pay a $1.00 fee.
Any interested student who is un-
able to pay the fee should consult
Mi-g. Inez Montgomery, school
counselor.
A student's perormance on the
qualifying test also provides him
with information that is useful
In career planning or in selecting
courses in high school and college.
Mrs. Montgomery stated.
After the test, each participat-
ing student receives a Handbook
for Merit Program Participants,
prepared by Science Research As-
sociates. the testing agency. The
Handbook is designed to help stu-
dents understand their individual
test results, to make comparisons
with scores of high school students
across the country, and to use this
information in making education
and vocational plans. Thus, Mr.
Williams said, students can learn
more about their educational
strengths and weaknesses, wheth-
er or not they plan to attend col-
lege.
In addition to the awards made
by the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation, about 230 business
corporations, foundations, colleges,
professional associations, unions,
trusts, and individuals give schol-
arships through the Merit Pro-
gram. A considerable number of
other scholarship agencies utilize
the services of NMSC in awarding
their scholarships.
NMSC was established in 1955
through grants from the Ford
Foundation and the Carnegie Cor-
poration of New York. An addi-
tional Ford Foundation grant to
extend the Merit Program through
197d was announced in 1962.
In the period 1956-64, about 9,100
tudents have received Merit
Scholarship awards and thousands |
of other high-scoring students have
been assisted in obtaining financial
aid from other sources.
