for the school. This work is be
ing supervised by the superin
tendent's ofice and is under the
direction of John Gibson, guid
ance director, and Albert C.
Bickley, graduate assistant at
Apalachian State Teachers Col
lege. Students in grades 6, 7,
8, and 8 are being counselled
regarding future high school
plans. "The various proposed
subject areas of our new school
will be explained to the stu
dents," Mr. Angell said.
As soon as the study is com
pleted, summaries of courses
desired will be made available
as pertinent information to fur
ther point out the need for ex
panding high school offerings
in the county, the report stated.
A special census of all school
patrons is planned by the sup
erintendent's office during this
month. Purpote is to obtain
a complete census of all school
patrons living with in the coun
ty. A special form will be made
available to all teachers in the
county, and names and address
es obtained will be of valuable
assistance to the board of edu
cation in the distribution of ma
terials and vital information re
lative to the overall school pro
gram.
Mr. Angell said an effort will
be made to obtain a record of
every person listed as the head
of a household, regardless of
whether he or she may have
children in school.
The superintendent also said
plans have been completed for
the presentation of the educa
tional phase of the consolidated
program to schools, civic clubs,
and other interested groups
within the county. He will. wel
come the opportunity to discuss
the program in all communities
prior to the close of the current
school term.
A second phase of the pro
gram will be presented after
July 1, and this will include
detailed information on indi
vidual tax cost if the consolida
tion becomes a reality. M r.
Angell explained this informa
tion will not be available until
after firm property valuations
and tax rates have been estab
lished for the fiscal year 1983
64.
In the report, Mr. Angell
said the increased enrollment
and the overcrowded conditions
at Appalachian High School con
tinue to pose a major problem
lor the board of education and
officials of the college. "This
buliding was originally designed
to house 350-400 students and
our propected enrollment for
this school in 1965 incidates that
we will have approximately 730
students living in the present
Appalachian High School Dis
trict," Mr. Angell said. "Our
present high school facilities in
the county cannot adequately
care for this increase without
providing for additional facili
ties."
INELIGIBLE
Memphis ? The second grade
rooms at Avon School were
about to hold an election.
"Now, children," their teach

this in a democratic way."
Down fell the face and up
shot the hand of Beasley Well
ford. 'Then I can't vote," he an
nounced unhappily. "I'm a Re
publican."
