Junior High School Will House
Freshman; Sophomore Classes
Stating that the proposed
class schedules between
John A. Holmes High School
and D. F. Walker School
would take a “tremendous
amount of coordination,”
Principal Greg Todd ver
bally carried Edenton-
Chowan Board of Education
through a typical day for
Holmes High students who
will be attending classes in
tx)th schools.
The school board is
planning an open house at
the schools August 28.
Further details will be
announced later.
With the advent of a
conslidated senior high
school in Chowan County at
school opening on Sep
tember 2 and the lack of
physical space at Holmes to
accomodate approximately
825, nine through 12 public
school students, Walker
School facilities will be used
for some nineth and tenth
grade classes.
The classes scheduled at
Walker were determined by
identifying, through
students’ class pre
registration, groups of
students found to have
signed up for the same two
courses and scheduling
them back-to-back. There
will be some necessary
duplication of courses
taught at Homes and Walker
to meet the pre-registration
needs of students who could
not be fitted into the back
to-back category. Basically
students bussed to Walker
from Holmes will remain for
a two hour block of classes
or two class periods.
All students will report to

Holmes each morning.
Movement to - Walker will
occur prior to school
opening, during homeroom
and during lunch periods.
This was accomplished by
breaking the six period day
into three two- hour time
periods and by moving
homeroom period from its
traditional “first thing each
morning” time to after
second period.
A typical movement day
is as follows: Students
having first and second
period classes at Walker
will report to Holmes and
immediately be tran
sported. After their two
class periods, they will be
returned to Holmes for
homeroom.
Immediately following
homeroom, students having
third and fourth period
classes at Walker will be
transported, attend their
two classes, eat lunch at
Walker and then return to
Holmes. This group of 160
will be the only high
schoolers to eat in the
Walker cafeteria, and not at
the same time as K-3
students.
Following their lunch at
Holmes, fifth and sixth
period classes will be taken
to Walker, but returned to
Holmes at the day’s end to
re-load for home
destinations. Todd pointed
out that it was unfeasible for
these students to board
busses for home from
Walker, since there will be
separate bussing systems
for K-6, 7-8, and 9-12
students under the
organization plan.
In explaining the
schedule, Todd brought out
several other facts. All
students have been assigned
to homerooms by grade
level. Teachers will report
to Holmes each morning and
travel with their classes to
Walker.
At most, only four
classrooms at Walker will
be in use at a given time to
teach high school students.
By locating these classes in
one upstairs wing on the
Blades St. side of Walker,
students will have a
separate entrance and
should at no time need to
come into contact with K-3
students also at D. F.
Walker.
All masonry classes for
the high school will be
conducted in the existing
shop at Walker. The areas
previously used for masonry
at Holmes will become the
art department.
Actual class period time
will be fifty-three minutes,
the same as it has been
before the past three years.
Because of close proximity
of classes at Walker, only
two minutes is required for
class change at Walker,
whereas four minutes will
be allowed at Holmes.
Approximately fifteen
minutes for each movement
of students between the two
schools has been in
corporated into the daily
schedule.
September 2 is the date for
students to return for
orientation. A one half day
scheduled will be observed
by all schools in the county.
All high school students
are to go to Holmes, only, on
this day to get schedules and
instructions for the first full
day on September 3.
In previewing the plans
for the new consolidated
junior high school at
Chowan this year, Principal
John Guard quipped that
“for the second time in 1980,
I feel like and expectant
father.” Guard presented
the board with a resume of
school opening activities for
teachers and student
orientation, concentrating
on the additional seventh
period created this year for
student enrichment.

New Businesses Seek Diversification
WINSTON-SALEM The
successful development of
minority businesses has
created a need for finding
new ways to match minority
suppliers with potential
purchasers, says George
Hill, president of Winston
Mutual Life Insurance Co.
“Minority businesses
have matured and diver
sified. Instead of providing
only goods and a limited
range of services, minority
businessmen are moving
more and more into
professional service fields,”
says Hill, 40, who heads the
eighth largest minority
owned insurance company
in the United States.
The number Os black
owned professional service
enterprises has increased
more than 28 per cent since
1972, according to the latest
U. S. Department of
Commerce survey of
minority businesses.
Receipts for this business
category were up 63 per cent
to $641.4-milliin in the same
period.
Existing purchasing
councils have effectively
united minority suppliers of
goods with buyers, Hill says.
Special efforts, however,
are needed to now bring
together minority
businesses offering
professional services and
potential customers.
To assist this new breed of
minority businessman,
“Companies must have a
mandate from top
management to seek and
support minority
businessmen who supply
services, as well as goods,”
says Hill, whose firm has
developed a strong working
relationship with R;J.
Reynolds Industries, Inc., a
$9-billion-corporation also
based in Winston-Salem.
Cooperation must also
come from the entire
minority business com
munity, he adds. “Winston
Mutual and other
established businesses have
tried to help newer minority
operations in Winston-
Salem gain initial contacts
with buyers like Reynolds
Industries,” Hill says.
Hill says his company’s
relationship with R.J.
Reynolds was developed
through contacts made with
individuals working there,
setting an example for other
minority businesses seeking
contracts with large
companies.
RJR, which currently
holds two contracts with the
insurance firm, has been a
Winston Mutual client since
1972. Winston Mutual has
one contract to offer life
insurance coverage to
seasonal employees of R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Co. and
another contract with
Reynolds Industries
providing reinsurance for a
portion of the 1 total RJR
workforce.
Winston Mutual,
organized in 1907 by six
Winston-Salem men, now
has 100 full-time employees
at its home office and field
offices, and 65 general
agents throughout North
Carolina. The company
plans to begin expansion
outside the state within the
next three years, says Hill,
who has been president of
the company since 1971.
In the past 10 years the
firm’s amount of insurance
Thtffsday, August 21, 1980
in force has increased about
10 per cent a year. Company
assets, which totaled $5.2
million in 1979, have gone up
about 4 per cent a year
during the same period.
Legion Holds
Reunion
The first annual Family
Outing • Membership
Round-up sponsored jointly
by American Legion Post 40
and Auxiliary Unit 40 on
Sunday, August 10, was an
overwhelming success.
Attendance at the event

40 was over 150 Legion

Department Adjutant Keith
Sink of Legion Headquar
ters in Raleigh, stated,

Post 40 Commander
Ashley Swain and Unit 40
President Maggie Stokes

tendance and enthusiastic

bership potential, especially

renewals had exceeded 50
per cent of last years
membership. Their goal is
to qualify everyone as 1981
Early Birds.
