Offifty-five students who were eligibleto take the New York State RegentsScholarship Examination, twenty-sixwere winners, while nine will receiveState Scholarships as alternates. Onceagain, the percentage of winners andalternates tops all Day Schools in theState and constitutes one of the high¬est records of any school in New York.

In the National Merit Award Com¬petition, Ramaz placed two finalistsand two semi-finalists while thirteenstudents received letters of commenda¬tion. Perhaps the crowning achieve¬ment was the winning of two Westing-house Awards in Science and Mathe¬matics by seniors in this graduatingclass.As we have come to expect over the
