thread_title: Assess for Schools

message: I was in the last graduating class of Lane High School.  I remember petitions from different students being passed around asking for signatures for various names that the high school would be named.  Most of the black kids wanted "Martin Luther King High School", most of the white kids wanted to leave it as "Lane High School".   Somehow, it got named "Charlottesville High School".  Our mascot was the Black Knight and our school colors Orange and  Black, so these were not original to CHS.  Lane still stands and is now the Albemarle County Office Building.  Walker and Buford "Middle" schools were built around 1968 or so, and were junior high schools. Charlottesville school district was split down the middle of town and half of 7-9th graders went to Walker the other half to Buford.  When my class was in the 6th grade (67-68) all 6th grades in the City were sent to Jefferson School (which had once been a black high school).  After the 6th grade, we either went to Walker or Buford, and met up again at Lane as sophomores.  At no time were Walker or Buford Middle schools (Junior highs) used as high schools. I just wanted to clear up some misinformation I saw in the history of Charlottesville High.  Thank you.
Also, desegregation happened many, many years before 1974; actually the Albemarle County and Charlottesville City Schools were desegregated back in 1963-1964.  The reason a new high school was built was because the building simply could not hold the increasing number of students that were enrolled.  Too bad you all were given false information in your middle school years. I was in the Albemarle County School system from 1962-1964, Private school (Robert E Lee Elementary) from 1964-1965, and then in the Charlottesville school system from 1965-1974.

thread_title:  Looking back at the last year of Lane High School 

message: There's a lot of information here.  Some of it is encyclopedic, but some of it is not.  I think this article needs a reviewing of people  who do not go to Charlottesville High School.  There is nothing wrong with contributors who do; in fact, they probably provide the most accurate information, but an objective eye is necessary for pruning.P.L.A.R. 03:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've followed up on Lop239's changes, removing even more details still. This entry suffered from altogether too much information that's of interest to nobody other than current students (as P.L.A.R. lamented a year and a half ago), while simultaneously lacking any information providing a long or a broad view. And, honestly, a lot of bad writing. There's not a great deal of information that I added (most of those improvements are in the form of populating the infobox), but there was quite a bit that I took out—information about the replacement of floor tiles, the painting of a parking lot, totally unsourced POV claims about the sports teams, etc. Slow and steady...--WaldoJ (talk) 03:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
