bailey bugle bailey, N. C. OCTOEER, 1950 . Page 4 Point System An Aid To S9lf-cQntrol Character building is in part a matter of self-disc ip- line. Krowirg this, the faculty and students last year de cided upon the point system as a better method of grading conduct. It has come to the attention of the 9UGLE that the parents do not fully understand this new .grading sys tem. V/ith the point system the question of conduct is placed squarely upon the student’s own shoulders. For minor offenses, as primping or whispering on class, he is reminded of his lack of self-control by having three points taken from his conduct grade. The points increase accordi’^g to the offense; for instav-oe, im pudence to toachers is a ten point penalty; stealing, thirty points. By this method a student, by exerting self-disciplin^ can rate an ”A" or at least know exactly where his weak poi*its are and endeavor to improvtJ them. Where Improvemt Is Needed Students, there are a few behavior defects that need to be remedied right at the beginning of school before the wrong habit becomes too v/ell established. Feet belong on the floor. To have these walls ap pearing just as pretty next year as they do now, one must break himself of the tendency to prop his feet against the wall. Since the beginning of school, it has been practi cally impossible to understand a thing that is said in the classes on the front side of the building. Those out for recess, while others are going ahead with their work, should be more conside=ratc. Ffigazines and newspapers are in the study hall for general use, not for individuals who want a current event article or a picture and proceed to tear the page out. This is our-right vandalism. Courteous acts make life happier. It -.vould not take a bit longer to tell a person ’’Excuse me", then to almost knock him down. How interesting it would be to keep a personal re cord to sec how high we rate in ironing out faults which wo can improve I Lower Gr&des Show More Pride This Daper would like also to call attention to the contrast in the appec.rance of the upper and lower halls. V/hen passing through the lower hall, one notices there are few footmarks on the wall. It is to their credit that the smtiller childre n think this much of their newly-painted building.

On Monday morning, Sept ember 25, a howl of de light rose from the senior homeroum. Everyone in school knew at once what had happened--the rings had arrived IJ Ri'-igs aro heavy set with a beautiful (and quite different from other class risgs) green spinel stone. The sides are elaborately dccorated with the North Carolina seal dominating the left side, and Bailey Eigh School's green hornet on the right. If you are ever around Bailoy High and see a stu dent with dreamy eyes, you may know at once it-s a senior. DaTlEY BUGLE Published" Monthly by JOURmiSM CLASS and COMERCIAL .
