The Preliminary Scholastic
Aptitude Test (P.S.A.T.) in
combination with the National
Merit Qualifying Test
(N.M.S.Q.T.) was given at
Rocky Mount Senior High
School October 23, at 8:30 a.m.
The PSAT/NMSQT measures
verbal and mathematical abili
ties important in college work.
All juniors and sophomores who
are considering education be
yond high school should have
taken the test.
Taking the PSAT/NMSQT is
the first step in entering the
scholarship competitions ad
ministered by the National
Merit Scholarship Program and
the National Achievement
Scholarship Program for the
outstanding Negro students.
Students will find PSAT/
NMSQT scores a valuable
supplement to their school
academic record. Used with
school grades, the scores are
generally valid predictors of
academic achievements in col
lege, and the scores can be
particularly helpful to students
in planning their education
beyond high school. The
PSAT/NMSQT can also be used
to estimate a student’s probable
performance on the SAT and to
estimate potential for admission
to various colleges and universi
ties. The cost of the test was
$3.25.

Mr. Tony Winstead, a
silversmith, recently visited
Mrs. Maury Minges’ art
classes. Mr. Winstead demon
strated to the classes the art of
making original and stamped
jewelry. He showed the
students finished pieces of
Western Indian Jewelry.
Mr. Winstead is employed at
India Mountain Crafts of Rocky
Mount with other craftsmen,
potters, and furniture makers.
jMr. Winstead says his trade is
an expensive one to get involved

Gryphons
Leaders
So Are We
n
Tripp’s Wall Big Trip
with. For one who is starting
out, it takes three years of
practice before setting up a
business. “The business is not
too profitable,” he says,
“because the Western Indians
are going more to mass
production than to working on
individual pieces.”
Once again Mrs. Christine
Tripp’s classes have decorated
the walls outside of room 414.
One wall has “Bits and Pieces,”
and the other wall resembles
Sports Illustrated.
The Sports Illustrated wall
consists of newspaper articles
about the Gryphons, the Baby
Gryphons, and the Lady
Gryphons. There are pictures of
the Gryphons in action and the
“Gryphons of the week.” Mrs.
Tripp and Dale Allen have
covered about three-fourths of
the wall with newspaper
clippings during homeroom
periods.
The “Bits and Pieces” wall is
half a wall covered with little
cartoon drawings. Sophomores
who take biology under Mrs.
Tripp drew these cartoons. The
cartoons symbolize the sopho
mores who will graduate in
1979. There are pictures of
scared or lost sophomores.
Some of the pictures just have a
“79” colored on the paper. But
all of the pictures have one
special meaning: The Class of
“79” is not so far behind!
