First guess was Lady Bird (deleted after I saw it was not right), but if not her....Truman

Strange side note----The first house I bought was owned by a lady who was a biographer and historian of first ladies. The house was filed with pictures of the owner and first ladies.

This is correct. I'll take the Star since WLU made a contingency.

Ronald Wilson Reagan. The former Nancy Davis, still ticking at 92yo.

ETA: nope, wrong. But I'm betting on her. Five years to go. Nancy isn't even 2nd.

Some Saturday gold star action.

According to information from 2011, the two highest scoring U.S. high schools in the SAT are located in which state?

howard · Post by **howard** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:09 pm

A state with a lot of asian kids. I'm gonna go Cali, and give the points.

ETA: Gotta be Lowell (the honors public high school) and Gallileo (Chinatown) in SF.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:13 pm

Not Cali.

With Dalton, Stuyvesant and Bronx Science, a good guess.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:37 pm

None of the above.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:37 pm

The answer surprised me. I mean it's perfectly logical but still surprising in a stereotypical type of way.
