Miss Orrison to Direct
CrimeC Here

Miss Sally Orrison, whose
interest in crime goes back to
a grand jury investigation she
covered as a cub reporter. has
been appointed executive direc-
tor of the Citizens Crime Com
mission of Washington.
Miss Orrison, 40, thus re-
turned to her position as the
only woman to head a local
crime commission in the United
States.
In March, 1855, she was
named executive director of
the former Washington Grim
inal Justice Association, now
known as the Citizens Crime
Commission.
Born in Maryville, Tenn,
Miss Orrison was educated in
Tennessee schools and later
studied journalism and sociol-
ogy at George Washington Uni
versity.
Her first job, as a cub re-
porter on the Maryville Daily
Times, inspired her continuing
interest in criminal justice, she
said.
She came to the Criminal
Justice Association in 1916, first
as a secretary, later as a re-
search Statistician and finally
as director of the organization.
In February, 1858, Miss Orri-

The Fairfax County Super

one apartment project for the
elderly and turned down an
other.

mates, addressed a gathering Of
some 80 persons at the court
house while Mr.. Pearson was
speaking nearby.
( Mr.. Harrison, while making
no mention of the Placement
Board controversy, took note of
the fact that his Republican
rival was campaigning nearby.
The former attorney general
said a Pearson victory would be
disastrous for Virginia.
1T would be tragic" Mr.. Har-
rison said, Ito have a divided
government" with a Republic
can Governor and a Democratic
General Assembly. Mr.. Pearson
said that probably no more
blatant attempt to usurp the
rights of Virginia's localities
can be found than the concep-
ton" of the State Placement
Board.
"Strange Argument"
The Jonesville attorney said
he has heard it said that this
board limits indignation That
is a strange argument indeed.
Members of the board tell
newSmen everywhere they go
that race is not a criterion in
their assignments. If it we're,
we know that the Pupil Place
ment Board would quickly be
judged unconstitutional by the
courts.
I'VE have another indication
that the Pupil Placement
Boards formation cannot be
justified on the basis of limit
ing indignation: In Virginia this
year there are 500 Negro
children attending formerly
all-white schools. In North
Carolina, where a local pupil
assignment plan is in opera
ton, there are 200 Negro
children in white schools"

Pearson Would Abolish
Pupil Placement Boord

CONVICTION, Va, Oct. 10
P).-The Republican candi-
date for Governor told a party
banquet last night the State
Pupil Placement Board should
Justify its existence" before it
receives it's requested 100000
appropriation for the next BIZ
ennium.
1T should show how this
$4,000 is needed more to
subsidize usurpation of local
authority than to build new
dormitories IN our colleges or
to pay operating expenses for
community college" H.
Clyde Pearson said.
IF the board cannot justify
it's existence-and I am sure
it cannot-then it should be
abolished, the sooner the bet
ter"
The three-member Place
ment Board was established
under Virginia's original mas
sive resistance to indignation
laws. Local school boards
which previously assigned
pupils to public schools, were
relieved Of this duty and the
board took over all placement
powers.
Under the new freedom of
choice approach to indignation.
local boards may resume their
placement power and several
have taken this step.

program for next summer. MIR.

of the freeway in Wilmington

Guidance Services

A group guidance program
has been introduced for all
eighth grade students. 1t is COM
prised of practical application
in planning the high school pro-
gram of studies toward a tenta-
tive career or life objective.
The testing program, consist
ing of periodic aptitude, inter-
est, and achievement tests, has
been improved each year. Test
results have been made avail
able to parents and students as
we'll as to administrators and
teachers.
The cumulative records were
arranged and cleared of unne-
cessary accumulated materials.
An annual record is now being
kept therein of each students
activities.
We have improved communi-
cation with administration,
teachers, and parents. The coun-
selors meet regularly with the
Administrative Council, and they
are invited to attend all subject
department meetings. A faculty
Guidance Committee serves as
liaison for cooperative planning
and school implementation of
various parts of the guidance
program. One of their projects
was a high school curriculum
guide for students and their par
ents. A parent-student-counselor
conference for each eighth and
eleventh grade student not only
improved communication with
parents but also effectiveness of
the counseling.
Guidance services were ex-
panded this year to include a
full-time counselor for boys,
grades 7-l2. That brings our stu
dent counselor ratio to 800 per
counselor. We are currently
planning for a full-time coun-
selor, grades l-6; a full-time
counselor, grades 7-9; a full
time counselor, grades 9-l2-
with coordination of personal
services throughout those three
areas.

Vocational
Agriculture

Five years ago the Vocation
al Agriculture Department was
in its third year as course in
the Smyrna High School. The
building which was built in
1853 consisted of a classroom
and shop. Although this build
ing was new, it was inadequate
ly equipped so far as power
and handtools were concerned.
Classroom texts and reference
books were too few in number
to cover the subject material
thoroughly. Too many boys
were allowed to take agricul-
ture who did not have the
necessary facilities to carry out
a supervised farming program.
Today the shop program has
been improved through the ad-
dition of good hand and power
equipment. Teaching materials
for the classroom have been
brought up to date. The pres
ent program requires that all
boys enrolled carry a supervis-
ed farming program along with
their classroom and shop in
struction. This program has en-
abled each student to apply the
knowledge gained in class to
practical ends.
The improvement of the F.
F. A. Chapter has been brought
about by more interest and par
ticipation in F. F. A. activities,
both on the local and state lev
els. A number of teams have
won in state and county con-
tests. Some have also partici-
pated in regional and national
contests.
Smyrna times., 1961-11-09
Industrial Arts

In the past five years there
have been many Improvements
made in the High School Cafe
terra. We have gradually gone
from a ''home-type" kitchen to
an institutional" type kitchen.
We have a dishwasher which
gets the dishes much cleaner
and more sanitary than the old
washing by hand method. We
have a vegetable peeler, large
electric mixer, stack ovens and
bakers table all acquired in the
last five years. This equipment
enables us to prepare a better
lunch for the students more
quickly.
All the school cafeteries in
the Smyrna District adhere quite
strictly to the policies laid down
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for the
proper lunch for a growing boy
or girl. This lunch is called an
"a" Platter and consists of 2
OF. of meat, fish or cheese; q
cup of either two vegetables or
one vegetable and one fruit; a
dessert; bread and butter and
" pint milk. We are able to
sell this platter for thirty cents
because the U. S, Government
buys up surplus foods and in
turn gives them to each public
school in the United States that
participates in the program. Be-
cause of Government Subsidy
we are able to sell a Il pent OF
milk for only three cents when
we pay six cents for it.
In the past five years the stu
dent participation in the "A
Platter Lunch has grown ten
percent over and above the in
creased enrolment.

Music

The High School Band has
grown in size from 80 members

increased from one hour per

new instruments have be e n
bought, such as: a Bass Clarinet,

Mathematics

Major changes and improve
ments have been made in the
Mathematics Department. The
most obvious change to an out
slider is the number of teachers
involved. Where there were only
two five years ago, there are
now four full time mathematics
teachers and two faculty mem
bers teaching mathematics part
of the day. One of this number
is now designated chairman of
the department to coordinate
activities.
The curriculum has been re-
studied, revised, and enlarged.
Algebra is now offered to quail
