1. 26 of the 30 students (87%) ranked in the 50 percentile or above category.
2. 17 of the 30 students (57%) ranked in the 75 percentile or above category.
3. 13 of the 30 students (43%) ranked in the 85 percentile or above category.
COMMENCEMENT "THANKS” A "thank-you" goes out to those of you who either participated in, or in some way helped with this year's Commencement exercises at the Coliseum. The evening's activities came off without a hitch. Thanks for your help. Those of you who were at Commencement probably noticed that the father of one of our graduates required emergency medical care. We were fortunate to have on hand Starley Pifer, R.N., Coordinator of Student Health, who provided that emergency care. The gentleman who has a history of heart disease, was taken to the hospital for further treatment. We were fortunate to have Starley on hand to provide necessary service. A special "thanks" goes out to her.

LOCATING A WHOLE-HOUSE FAN The average monthly temperatures for July and August for the northern half of the United States are less than 75° F. As a general rule, this means that a large segment of the American population could do without air-conditioning during a major portion of the summer. The savings by substituting whole-house ventilation instead can amount to hundreds of dollars off the electric bills for a typical family. A whole-house fan consumes approximately one-tenth the energy of a central air conditioner. The accompanying illustrations, courtesy of the American Ventilation Association, show some of the places in a home where a whole-house ran can be installed. Mounting a fan horizontally over an intake opening in the attic floor is most effective and the simplest to construct (see Attic illustration). Other options include mounting a fan in a stairwell window, above the kitchen, in a basement or garage wall, or for flat roofs, in a "dog-house" louver.
