Club Donates Money To Band The Good Sports Club stepped forward on October 21 as the first school or civic organization to donate money in support of the Rocky Mount Senior High Marching Band’s trip to the Mardi Gras Festival in New Orleans, La. in February. During the Good Sports Club’s meeting on October 17, Wanda Henderson, president of the club, proposed the suggestion that the club set the pace by being the first organization to make a contribution to the band for their trip to the Mardi Gras Festival. The club members SAT/PSAT Valuable Don’t be surprised if you see students coming to school on Saturday in the near future, because two important tests for college-bound students are to be given on Saturdays. • The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test was administered Saturday, Oct. 26 (for juniors) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (for seniors) will be given November 2. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures certain verbal and mathematical abilities that have been shown to be very useful in college studies. Results from the SAT invariably effect. a student’s choice of and/or acceptance by a college. The PSAT is a shortened form of the SAT and is given to juniors to help them make plans for course studies in high school, to give them some idea of what the SAT is like, and to enable them to compete in scholarship competition. Everyone who takes the PSAT is automatically entered in the Merit Scholarship competition. Any pei'son who scores high enough on the PSAT as compared to a local per centile will be placed in semi finalist competition. Final' stages of the finalist programs are concerned with the student’s grade average, and especially SAT scores. Other scholarship programs that utilize PSAT scores are the Galleride Association, the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students. If a student is eligible for these progams, he must mark such eligibility on his or her answer sheet. Approximately six weeks after the tests are taken, scores will be made known to the students participating. Now, if you happen to see senior high students coming to school armed only with pencils and an answer sheet, you will know it is to do battle with the Scholastic Aptitude Tests , . .

S, Postal Service Using Cheap Glue? unanimously agreed in favor of supporting the band in their drive to raise the ariioimt needed for the trip. The club voted to contribute as much as they could afford to, after allowing for club ex penses, the annual athletic’s picnic sponsored by the club, and two other funds that the club donates money to. The amount decided upon was $75. President Wanda Henderson and treasurer Eva Bartley, as representatives of the club, pras^ented ihe $75 check to Bob Rosser, the Senior High Band, drum major. The band members were grateful for the support shown by the Good Sports Club. The band’s trip will cost ap proximately $18,500 and to raise this money the band will need to have city wide support. Cathy Alle,, secretary of the club, said “our club is proud of the RMSH Marching Band. Everyone in the club was eager to pitch in and support them. We are hoping that other clubs and organizations will join in and support the band.” Barbara flung the soggy paper towels in the back seat of the car and climbed in it. The door pounded shut, the window promptly fell, and muttering under her breath she cranked it back up. It was the usual Monday morning, and she was running five minutes late. A minute later, Stan’s letter was popped swiftly into the mailbox, and Barbara sped off to school. Thursday night the phone rang. “Hello?” “Hi!” “Stan! How are you?” “Fine. So was your 10 letter. You forgot to put a stamp on it!” “But I’m positive I did! You know they put cheap glue on them now. It probably just fell off.” * “Yeah, sure.” Most girls make it a practice to write their fellows up at college regularly, even everyday. Addressing the en velope and putting a stamp on it all -becomes second nature. After they’ve done it so often, it’s hard to remember a par ticular instance. Can they be sure of that tiny stamp? Blue Monday came ’round again, and Barbara sped off, first to the post office and then to school. She took no chances with this letter. She pounded the stamp on fierecly and added the postscipt, “I put a stamp on this letter. If there’s not one on it now, it fell off.” Green Wednesday brought a dark letter from Stan. “What’s wrong? I didn’t get a letter today.” He did the next day — after he paid ten cents for it. Barbara was outraged, fully prepared to begin a campaign of vengenance against the U. S. Postal Service. Contemplating her plan the following Monday, she suddenly decided to give it up. It was definitely a blue Monday and it would definitely be a dark Tuesday in Raleigh — when Stan found out he had to pay for her letter. That letter, wMch Barbara had deposited cosily in the mailbox, had been desposited without a stamp. Moral: Postage isn’t as cheap as you think! WESTWOOD LUMBER CO.
