Gets Scholarship
At Tech Institute
(Robersonville Weekly Herald)
Russell Roberson, graduate of
the 1948 class of Robersonville
High School, and son of Mr. and
Mrs. Nathan Roberson, was
awarded a scholarship to the
Morehead City Technical Institute
last week.
The Institute, a branch of North
Carolina State College, specializ
es in the more practical aspects of
Engineering, offering such cfThrscs
as the gasoline and Diesel engine,
electricity and radio, etc. The
standard course is for one year.
Only one scholarship was offer
ed this year and competition came
from boys all* over this and ad
joining o'.at. . Each applicant for
the scholarship had to write a sci
entific paper. In addition to this,
each applicant was to have taken
a mechanical aptitude test and
also each applicant's high school
record was to have been reviewed
before the award of the scholar
ship which is valued at between
three and four hundred dollars.
Roberson’s paper on the subject
of “Fundamental Rocket Engi
neering” consisted of 25 pages,
typewritten, complete with dia
grams, calculations, and bound

with paper binder complete with
labels. After a review of his paper,
the head of the State College Ex
tension Division wrote to him last
week and announced that they
were awarding the scholarship to
Russell “without further action “
Presumably the paper was so good
that the officials did not care to
look further. At any rate, the ap
titudc tests were never given. The
extension Division head congratu
lated Russell on the "splendid" pa
per.
Russell will leave for the school
early in the fall.
Live only for today—yesterday
is gone and tomorrow is as yet un
born.
