High School Diploma If you are a veteran of World War II and unfor tunately did not graduate from high school, it is pos sible now to take an exam ination which, if passed, will obtain the high school diploma. This is true espec ially where a veteran needs only one or two subjects. While in service you may have had training for whi ch you wish to secure cred it in meeting requirements for high school graduation. This demand of the armed 1 forces personnel for acade-| mic credit for educationalj achievements as well as military training and ex periences prompts the new system of accreditation. It has been suggested: that a credit of one unit] be allowed to any student j who needs such credit, for a year’s service in the arm ed forces. This unit of cred-; it for general military ex-' perience may be counted as a unit in social studies. If j he has two or more years, ofservice he may be allow-] ed not to exceed two units in meeting the require ments of sixteen units for graduation. If a student cannot meet requirements for gradua tion from high school on basis outlined above he or she may attend a regular high school or institution where refresher courses are offered.. The State Department of| Public Instruction and the' North Carolina College! Conference have adopted a plan for admission of these 1 and other veterans to col-j lege by examination. This | examination will be given at colleges. This testing program will include a psy-| chological test, an English test, a mathematics test and a reading test. A diploma granted in this manner will ( be accorded equal status with the diploma granted in the usual way. This information was re- THE YANCEY RECORD <*'•*' “iff 5 -—' SUB.

C: Experiment Station first released it to the farming public. When the seed was first endorsed by the research agronomists in 1942, only enough to plant less than 1 percent of the total corn acreage in the state was available. In all, says Dr. Paul Harvey of State Col : lege, it wouldn’t plant more ! than 500 acres. For the 1945 crop, how ever, enough certified seed was available to plant hy brid corn on one out of every 10 acres of corn. Next year’s plans call for an even greater production with approximately 50,000 bushels of the seed to be available. Even this production, he says, will not put the state up to the national average which this year stood at two out of every three ac res of corn in hybrids.
