Students In Jail by JERRY HEDGECOCK Ferndale students found themselves in jail one Tuesday when they visited the City-County Building for Crime Prevention Week. Civics students under the direction of Mrs. Unity Funderburk and Mr. Don Kearns, civics teachers, were sponsored on this trip by the High Point Exchange Club. Policeman Stewart Hartley guided the tour after the students arrived at the building. When taken to the jail, students were .shown the padded cell, which turned out to be an alloy of aluminum and tin, and the jail’s kitchen where all the food is fixed for the prisoners. Students were shown the laboratory where bullets were being compared to see if they had been shot from the same gun. There were other microscopes with one showing narcotic samples and the other showing dirt. In the classroom the students listened to a talk on the ways officers are taught and looked at some of the guns used by the police department. Patrolmen also showed the students the communications room where a board shows the location of all officers on duty. Students also saw the officers room where the patrolmen fill out their reports on all accidents. The stu dents rounded out their tour with a visit to the desk where all persons are brought when charged with a crime. Junior Pointer Vol. .35, No. 3 Ferndale Junior High School, High Point, N. C.
