Administrative
Advantages OF
Consolidation

This is the second of a SER
les of articles to acquaint the
residents of the Smyrna-Clay.
ton area with the facts of the
forthcoming referendum on con-
solidation to be held on Satur-
day, March II, 1862, from l.
8 p. m. Attention of all resi-
dents is called to the fact that
the Boards of the Smyrna and
Clayton Districts will hold an
open meeting on Wednesday,
February 18th, at 500 p. m, in
the High School Library, Fraz-
ier Street, Smyrna. Members of
both boards will be present to
present the consolidation facts
and answer questions.
In last weeks paper the edu-
cational advantages of a con-
solidation between Smyrna and
Clayton were discussed. Are
there other advantages?
Yes. The other advantages
may be divided into two areas;
administrative and financial.
What are the administrative
advantages?
The first administrative ad-
vantage relates to the school
board. The Board of school
district is the districts policy
forming body. The elected
members of a board develop the
policies under which the schools
operate. Within the limits Of
the State Law the School Board
has broad powers. The board
decides, for example, whether a
foreign language will be taught
in the elementary school, how
many years will be offered in
the high school, and which for
eign languages will be offered
The board approves the hiring
of all teachers and votes or
the dismissal of teachers. The
board sets the school calendar
for the year. The board also
adopts a budget for school ex-
penditures.
At the present time two
boards are in operation in this
area, one in Clayton and one
in Smyrna. Suppose the Clay
ton Board decided to offer
French in grades 6-8. Would
the Smyrna Board carry out the
rest of this program by continu-
ing this into grades 9-l2, or
might Smyrna feel that it should
continue a program in Spanish?
There are many such decisions
which need coordination. Nat
urally, there is some degree of
coordination between the two
boards. Consolidation would al
low the residents of both dis
tricts to have a say in the COM
plete educational program of all
pupils in grades LIZ. The school
board would represent all the
people of both districts, and be
elected by all the people. Uni
form, coordinated policies would
result. The board would be re-
sponsible to every resident in
the Smyrna and Clayton areas.
What about the administra-
tors themselves?
Today's school operations are
fairly complex. At the present
time the Supervising Principal
of Clayton must spend time su-
pervising the cafeteria, purchas-
ing supplies, supervising the
custodians, and working on
teacher and student problems.
The larger district would allow
the Clayton principal more time
to deal with his most important
functions; teacher supervision
and instructional improvement.
A member of the central office
who specialized in business
management and purcha h a Sc S
would work with general purch-
ases, Gus O dial maintenance,

The tune Is the product Of

with q pickup orchestra Of

Hendricks with q chorus

The absence Of the Ala
bama-born singer from the
best-selling record charts has
been no fault Of Mats. As
Brown Meggs Of Capitol says,
the record market "fell apart
in 1856 and 1857. and class
pops went down the drain"
AS material basically alien

school senior. The boy I
like II 16. We get along
well, he has his own car
and We have lots Of fun. He
Is . wonderful dancer and
we have even won . couple
Of dance contests.
Some Of my friends say
I shouldn't 60 with him
because he Is younger than
/ am. How does It seem to
you? Do you think I'm
"rObbing the cradle" too?
This Is the first time I
have gone with q boy 30

Since you and the boy
enjoy dating each other, the
fact that he Is Just q year
younger than you are Is not
very important. Under the
circumstances, you certainly
cannot be accused Of rob
bing the cradle" II you were
two or three years older, that
would be q different story
and I would advise you to
date boys nearer your own
age.

and determination, and you
may have to spend some
lonely hours. However, it
will be well worth the effort,
believe me:
My advice Is to start by
cutting yourself off from all
acquaintances who do not
have good regulations and
stay away from their hang
outs. Be sure your own be-
havior is always above re-
proach and gradually try to
make new friends and get
into worthwhile activities.
If former acquaintances
question the new you,"
simply say you decided to get
smart and change. You are
not the first person who has
made mistakes, but I sim
cerely hope you will be one
Of the lucky ones who even
tually will know the inner
feeling Of satisfaction which
comes from being respected
and considered a thoroughly
nice person. Best wishes.
Dear Mrs. Kicker:
lam Is and popular with
boys as well as girls. Quite
often I receive telephone
calls from boys who will
not tell me who they are.
They seem to know me for
they talk Of things I know
about. But, when / ask
them who Is speaking, they
say "Guess whO?" or viii
not tell me. What Is the
best thing to do?
ARLENE.
Teen-agers like to kid
around on the phone, and
that Is natural. But the
Guess who" routine Is point
less and silly. In fact. it is
unmannerly to call someone
to the phone and then refuse
to identify yourself.
In such a case I think it
should be taken for granted
that the Guess who" caller
is a stranger. Since it is not
proper to talk to strangers,
my advice would be simply
to say, I'm sorry, but If you
will not tell me who is call

They write sad songs about the passing Of
summer, but at Lake Bancroft the teen-agers
say good-by to summer with splashes and

with competitive swimming and sailing.

recreation program at the lake in nearby
Virginia, give demonstrations in various
