lists of semi-finalists, which includes Wakefield’s top scholar, Sean Bennett. A year ago Mr. Bennett distinguished himself in making the only perfect score in the nation on the PS AT/N ational Merit Qualifying
Mr. Bennett, currently a candidate for Wakefield’s highest-level diploma, the 36-credit Advanced Studies: Classical/Scientific Diploma, ranks first in his class and is active in student government, drama, music, and varsity athletics. After graduation, Bennett plans to attend either Harvard or Stanford University.
In an assembly called to recognize these students for their outstanding academic achievements, Wakefield headmaster William Lynn reminded his audience that, in the face of dynamic foreign challenge, education is seen increasingly as the key to American competitiveness.
Dr. Lynn said that he hopes the community will begin to give as much recognition to academic achievement as it already does to athletic triumphs. “Both types of achievement are important,” Dr. Lynn said, “but to date, the scholars have been short-changed when it comes to recognition and appreciation, and our nation has been the loser.”
