6 FRATERNITY ranked together at the top national level. The number of winners in each state is proportionate, as in the National Merit Scholarship program, with all state winners judged again on a national competitive basis. Citations for both Carl and the school English department were given by the 70,000-member English Council, and his advanced group English teacher, Miss Mary Jane Stephenson, as well as the entire student body of Sharon High School, are rightfully proud of their finalist. Also a Merit Scholarship semi-finalist, Carl is a member of the school orchestra and enjoys music as a hobby. He plans to attend Swarthmore College and major in English. We, too, are most gratified with our young member’s achievement and hope that as he continues his studies with even greater success, we shall hear more about him in the literary world. Good luck, Carl! PROBLEMS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY Question: I heard I should check my Social Security record every few years. How do I do this?
