HONOR STUDENTS ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL This
year a fine arts class is being offered in Duplin County
summer school held at E.E. Smith Junior High in
Kenansville. Julie Smith, pictured left, and Deborah

among the first seniors to graduate in the North Carolina
Scholars Program in June of 1984. Seniors graduating in
the Scholars Program will have taken 22 units instead of
the 20 required by high schools for graduation.
Honor Students Attend Summer School
By Emily Killette
Duplin high school honor
students are joining fellow
classmates in summer school
classes at E.E. Smith Jr.
High in Kenansville this
year. Area honor students
are taking advantage of
summer school to add units
in order to participate in the
first graduating class of
North Carolina Scholars in
1984, Assistant Superinten
dent of Duplin County
Schools Gary Sanderson
said.
The newly enacted N.C.
Scholars Program requires
graduates to have 22 high
school units, Sanderson ex
plained. Seniors not choosing
to particpate in the Scholars
Program are only required 20
units for graduation.
Summer school opened
June 15 and ends July 13
with students from all four
Duplin high schools
attending weekdays 8 a.m. to
1 p.m. All basic high school
courses, from English to
science, are offered and 170
students have enrolled for
instruction. The school has a
staff of nine teachers and a
director.
"For the most summer
school in Duplin County is a
remedial program for
students who were not able
to meet course requirements
within the regular school
year," Assistant Superin
tendent of Duplin County
Schools Gary Sanderson
said. "And, most of the
students who are taking new
courses arj those who need
one -nit to be eligible to
graduate at the end of the
summer or students who are
preparing to be eligible for
graduation next June."
But, Sanderson explained,
a few honor students are
taking advantage of summer
school to add units needed to
be eligible for graduation as
a North Carolina Scholar. Art
Appreciation is being offered
in summer school for stu
dents wishing to participate
in the Scholars Program, and
needing a fine arts unit to
meet the requirements.
"At least one unit of fine
art is required under the
N.C. Scholars Piogram," '
Sanderson said. "Band and
chorus had been the only two
fine arts courses offered in
most Duplin high schools and
some students have not par
ticipated in either. The Arts .
Appreciation course offered
this summer is an alternative
to band and chorus for
participants in the Scholars
Program." East Duplin and
Wallace-Rose Hill have fine
arts courses in addition to
band and chorus which will
fill Scholar Program require
ments. Art classes are avail
able at East Duplin and a
Fire Arts course is taught at
Wallace-Rose Hill.
Seniors in the Scholars
Program will receive recog
nition from the North Caro
lina State Board of Educa
tion," Sanderson said. "A
seal signifying the graduate
as a North Carolina Scholar
will be affixed to the stu
dent's diploma. 1 think the
students who do graduate in
the Scholars Program will
have added leverage when
applying for entrance into
universities and colleges."

Dedication and hard work

Lawn Teletip
Most of us dream of hav
ing a green, lush lawn that's
the envy of the neighbor
hood. Unfortunately, to get
that dream lawn we often
have to fight everything from
insects to crabgrass.
observes Chester Stocks,
Extension Agofft, Lenoir
County.
One of the best sources of
information on lawns and
ground covers is Extension
Teletip. Stocks adds. Teletip
is the statewide toll-free
telephone answering system
that the Agricultural Exten
sion Service uses to answer
commonly asked lawn care
questions.
To hear a Teletip message
dial 1-800-662-7301 and tell
the operator the number of
the message you wish to
listen to. Among the lawn
messages are: Ar.t control.
2201; annual lespedeza and
spurge control, 2202; ber
