Cynthia says..
by Cynthia Davis
Tuesday, Oct- 20, the PSAT
(Preliminary Scholastic Apti
tude Test) was administered
to juniors and seniors who
plan to continue their educa
tion. This test was taken pri
marily for experience before
taking 1 the SAT in December.
The SAT is required for ad
mission to most colleges.
The PSAT and the SAT
measure two kinds of scholas
tic ability, verbal and mathe
matical. Thus, by comparing
one’s scores with those of stu
dents who were accepted by
the college of their choice,
one has a good idea of his
chances of being accepted.
By showing one’s ability to do
college work, the PSAT and
SAT help students all over the
United States in developing
plans for their college educa
tion.
Students of all grades
(eighth-twelfth) registered
Friday, in order to be eligible
to vote on November 2. Since
a large number of the stu
dents registered, it is predict
ed that the results will be of
interest to the people of Semi
nole County as well as to the
students.
We were very proud of
Gwynn Fain, “Miss Seminole
County” and her court when
they represented Seminole
County in the annual Peanut
Festival parade held in Do
than, Saturday. In asking
Gwynn to sum up her experi
ences, Gwynn stated, “It was
truly an experience that I
shall never forget, but the
most gratifying part of it all
was the fact that I had the
opportunity to represent all
the wonderful people of Semi
nole County”. Gwynn also
stated that she couldn’t begin
to express her appreciation
for all the cards, letters and
notes of good wishes and en
couragement that she receiv
ed during her stay in Dothan.
Gwynn represented us well,
and we are very proud of her
for doing so.
The column is rather short
(much to your delight) this
week, but just remember
what Shakespeare said, “Bre
vity is the soul of Wit”, (let’s
not go Literary, Cyn). Any
way, that’s the scene in and
around the campus this week,
but there’ll be more next
week.
