Only 16,000 seniors nationwide out of an original pool of 1.4 million have gone on to become National Merit Semifinalists.

Auditions. That one word is enough to strike fear into the heart of any student who has to try out for a number of things at the beginning of the school year: Madrigals, or jazz band, or the fall play ("Anne Frank").

I love auditions.

The boys soccer team lost to Oakwood, and the girls volleyball team, playing its first home match of the season, lost to Normal Calvary Baptist.
