THE ZEBULON RECORD VOLUME 36. NUMBER 50. ZEBULON. N. C.. JANUARY 25. 1962 SAT Scores WHS Guidance Counselor Reports For the past three years the Ed ucational Testing Service at Princeton, N. J., has been report ing to the high schools the stu dents’ scores on the Scholastic Ap titude Test of the College En trance Examination Board. “We have recently received this year’s scores of the seniors who took SAT in December,” Miss Blanche Gay, Wakelon guidance counselor, has revealed. Miss Gay said the test includes two parts, verbal and mathemati cal. The scores range from 200 to 800 on the verbal and 200 to 800 on the mathematics. A total combined score may range from 400 to 1600 points. “Colleges use the total scores to derive their so-called “cut-off' point,” Miss Gay said. No general statement can be made about “cut-off” points due to the diversity among the coun try’s 1,200 or more 4 year colleges and universities concerning ad mission procedures. “In 1959-60, eleven out of 41 seniors took the SAT of the CEEB. The average score for these eleven students on the ver bal was 393 and on the Mathemat ics, 423.7. The average for the total score was 816.7,” she said. In 1960-61, 18 out of 48 seniors took the SAT. The average Ver bal score for these 18 students was 356.6 and the average Mathematic score was 381.11. The average total score was 737.17. Twenty-seven out of 56 seniors took the SAT this school year, Miss Gay continued. Twenty-five scores have been reported for these students who took the test on December 2. The average Ver bal score was 355.10 ond the aver age Mathematical score was 399.9. The average for the total score was 754.19. “The SAT score is only one fac tor in admitting a student to col lege,” the guidance counselor said. “The three combined factors are high school rank, SAT scores, and recommendations.” The purpose of the SAT is to appraise a student’s ability to do college work. Thus many colleges differ in their minimum “cut-off” points since many of their stand ards differ. Many of the larger schools require at least a total score of 750 or above, depending upon the standards of the college.

There is the visitor who comes early in the morning and spends the day; the one who talks in cessantly, telling the patient all about the other ills and worries of everybody in the community; the one who makes a feast of the patient’s fruit and goodies; the one who tells loud jokes and laughs as if the patient’s room were a bar; the one . . . and on ad infinitum. Mrs. Mary Temple, Wendell Zebulon Hospital director of nurses, said: “We welcome visi tors. But we want them to ob serve the hospital rules and reg ulations.” She said a person who comes to the hospital cor es for treatment and medication “They are here because they have an illness.” “I have seen patients far sicker at the end of the day after many visitors,” she said. “They can’t get to sleep, they are nervous. Extra pills and shots must be given them to calm them down and make them rest.” Mrs. Temple said she is not against patients having company, not at all. But she has seen the damage done to patients when they have had too much company and visitors have disregarded visiting regulations. “We have to think about the Junior Women Have Three Members Present At the January meeting of the Junior Woman’s Club only three members were present.

Wendell Native Has $500,000 Bakery Business in Tennessee Cedric "Kink" Knott Owner From the family kitchen to a large industrial building, from the back seat of the family car to a fleet of trucks, the story of a Wen dell native’s success in the bakery business has been one or con tinuous growth. Begun 14 years ago as a small sandwich-making venture by a husband and wife team, the Knott Wholesale Foods Company now is a half-million dollar operation. In May, 1947, Cedric Knott, a patient’s welfare,” she said. “Per sons with acute illnesses need quick and immediate medications and attention. Good results some times cannot be accomplished when the patient is tired and worn out with company.” Long-term illnesses are differ ent, she continued. These per sons may have more company and visitors may spend a longer time with the patient. “Socializing is one of the worst things we have to cope with,” Mrs. Temple said. “Some people are somewhat thoughtless on this point. They come just to social ize with the patients, going from one room to another, gossiping, laughing, joking, talking. We definitely do not want this type of visitor. However, if a visitor feels he can help by a visit or cheerful word of deed, that is dif (Continued on Page 4) Wendell native who had married Mildred McClain of Paris, Tenn., moved to Tennessee and opened a sandwich-making business in a small building across from the city auditorium. Soon afterward, the “company” moved to the kitchen of the Knott home. An original partner of the Knotts, James Wilson, was bought out only two weeks after the business was founded for $50. Now, Knott estimates the busi ness is worth about $500,000. The Knotts operated in their own home for eight years before moving to another building. Busi ness expanded so that another move was necessary. The company makes sandwiches, doughnuts and fried pies and dis tributes cakes, pies and cookies of many other name brands. It distributes 92 items within a 60 mile radius of Paris to 25 towns and cities. The firm originally serviced Paris and the neighbor (Continued on Page 4) Power Off Sunday Carolina Power & Light Com pany crews will be up before dawn Sunday, January 28, working on a high-voltage transmission line from the company’s Milbumie substa tion near Raleigh to Zebulon.
