JONES Phone JA 4-5273 Post Office Box 506 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.
