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.

How Do You Visit The III?
Nursing Director Offers Ideas
Visitors are often the bane and
worry of hospital personnel and
patients.
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

of cancer. Miss Emma Carr Biv
ens, executive secretary of the

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

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
