Raymond, A Man For All Seasons Raymond Theophilus Graves, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Willie King of Slagle Avenue, has earned a Semifinalist ranking in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's CNMSCD Merit Program. Graves is a senior at Peters- burg High School. More than one million juniors attending some 19,000 U.S. secondary schools attend- ed the competition by taking a qualifying test, the PSATXNMSQT, in October 1984. As a result, some 15,000 high school sen- iors, representing outstanding young men and women in all fifty states have been named as Semifinalist in the 31st annual Merit Program. To advance in the Merit Scholarship compe- tition, a Semifinalist must qualify as a Finalist by documenting high academic perfor- mance, being recommended by the high school principal, confirming qualifying test performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and submitting information about school and community activities, personal interests, and goals.

GETTI G WHERE Walking: A Preferred Means Of Transportation At PHS After driving and riding the bus to school, the, next preferred means of getting to, around, and away from school is walking. Not everyone prefers to walk, but for some, it is a pleasure, and they engage in this form of exercise at every chance they get. When you see someone walking to or from school, ninty-nine percent of the time it is a male. Most females do not enjoy this type of activ- ity, especially when they can ride in the plush pleasure of the school bus. But every once in a while, you may see a young lady making her way to the school on foot. As that two-ten bell rings, you will probably see hundreds of students getting into cars and piling onto the buses, but if you look around, you may see that lone person making his way home - walking.
