Students who moved to other schools from the jun ior and senior classes x-jil receive an invitation to the banquet? Mrs. L. E. Vicke does not like basketball? (ask (See HAVE YOU page 12) Now that moving is just about over, we can take stock to see how we came out in the shifting of stu dents from school to school and with dropouts. So far there has been a gain of four in the grades and a loss of twenty in high school for a net loss of sixteen. Compare this with a net loss of fifty- one last year and you see we have done much better this year than last. Last year was the first one in several in which losses were alarming. The change in trend is a good one. If a student leaves Bai ley and enters another school, he or she is none the worse off. The drop outs are the ones who will suffer for it. The North Carolina Public School Bulletin has some pertinent information and at least one remedy for the situation. Last year in this state h3)991 boys and girls- dropped out before the end of the term. What reasons can be given for the drop outs, Some ares ill health, going to other states, jobs, and some because they could or did not ad just to school. What ever reasons there are for these dropouts, there is need to find out the exact reasons in each case. No teacher has time to look into all these cases. Attendance officers who can do the job need to be hired. Let's hope the next General Assembly will put attendance officers in each administrative unit in the state. See ??
