A Big Shake-Up OF
hoolPrinci pals In
County Is Imminent
Only Two Are Definitely
Slated To Return To Same
School. List Given

There will be a big shake-ur
in the principalships of the Ashe
county high schools for next
year, according to unofficial in
formation obtained here yester-
day.
At least five and maybe six or
seven of the county's nine high

it was learned.
Only two principals seem to be
definitely slated to return to
their same jobs. They are B. H
Duncan, WSst JEFFERSON princi-
pal and r. E. L. Plummer, head
of the Healing Springs school.
Ron Davis may return to Jeff
erson and Joseph A. Martin may
60 back to Lansing, but it seems
certain that Wade Eller will not
be at Riverview, that Raymond
Francis will not be back at Fleet
wood, Kyle Dickson at Elkland
nor George VanHoy at Virginia.

BY a grapevine route, it is
learned that Ron Davis has re-
signed as principal of jefferson
high, but that his resignation has
not been accepted. Officially it
was learned that the Lansing dis
trict school committee has dis
missed all teachers in the dis
trict in order that they may avoid
the continuing contract technical
ity and make whatever changes
in the teaching staff are desired
