Page 2-B Mrs. Burch Begins 32nd Year As Teacher At CHS Mrs. Marguerite Burch is ready to begin her 32nd year of teaching in the elementary grades at Chowan High School. Mrs. Burch states that she is looking forward to the opening of school with great anticipation and contributes much of her enthusiasm to a visit she made April 3 and 4 to some model schools in Burlington. She was accompanied by other lead 'teachers in the Edenton- Chowan system to observe in the Smith School and the Park Grove School. Mrs. Burch says that she received many valuable ideas along with a realization that she must accept some changes from her traditional way of teaching to a more modern approach. She observed that more flexibility in the classroom and individualizing instruction were “pay offs” for the children. “Now I’m determined to lean that way,” said Mrs. Burch.

MARGUERITE BURCH awaits the reaction of her students to her newly designed Research Center. <rom the county to reimburse expenses to Burlington, she bought paint, sandpaper, paint remover, steel wool, and varnish stain and spent three unbearable hot days during the last week in July redecorating the scarred furniture in her classroom. Cabinets, tables and some bookcases were painted in shades of green trimmed in ivory and some were stained natural. “She did a professional job,” shid Principal Gilliam Underwood. The Youth Corps boys painted her desk yellow. Now her room has an airy, spring garden effect. Mrs. Burch said, “1 like my classroom clean, neat and pretty; it reflects in the children’s work.” The furniture has been rearranged to set up learning centers. In the rear of the room is a math center with numerous devices for helping children better understand numbers. Building your money: Why different savings plans pay different rates. Savings plans can be confusing. We know. At Bank of North Carolina, N. A., we offer five different ways for you to save money. And four different interest rates. Why? Simple. The longer you let us keep your money, the more we can pay you for it. Because we can earn more with it. But when you see things like “mini mum deposit period, 2 years", that shouldn't scare you. Your money is always available to you, should there be an emergency. Let's say you’ve deposited SIOO in your Money Builder savings plan at Bank of North Carolina. It earns 6 1/2% interest if you deposit that SIOO for at least two and a half years. Let's say that you need that The Money Builder Mrs. Burch learned to make many of them while attending a workshop prior to her visit to the Burlington schools. She saw similar ones in use while observing. Children will work on their own in the center and also receive needed individual instruction. A research center has been set up with a round reading table, surrounded by Encyclopedias, a globe, maps, an. atlas, dictionaries, newspapers, magazines, and various reference books. Another area in the room will later be set up and called an interest center. Mrs. Burch said, “I would not know what to put in that particular center until the children come and I give them an interest inventory to find where their real interests lie.” Mrs. Burch, a lover of art, has always maintained an art center in her room. She now has in the center, an attractive THE ARITHMETIC CENTER is designed for indivi dual progress in the concepts of figure operations with a student checking station. BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA N.A.

A LAP (learning activity package) entitled “Traveling West” is filled in her freshly painted filing cabinet. Through LAPs some students will be challenged while working independently with the aid of a cassett and ear phones. This too is one of the new approaches to learning. “In Room I at Chowan High School one can see that Mrs. Burch has really profited from her Burlington trip and the workshop conducted by state wide educators,” relates Principal Underwood. Only one man in Coast Guard history has won the Medal of Honor. He was Signalman 1-c 4)ouglas Munro who won the medal for valor on Guadal canal during World War 11.

The study .will be conducted in a series of four controlled-flow, natural-type streams constructed near the mill site. The streams will serve as a home for fish and their food organism systems that are common to the Neuse River and other streams of the Southeastern U.S. Two will contain only water taken from the Neuse and the others will contain river water mixed with treated mill effluent. The study, similar to one conducted in the Pacific Northwest, is expected to add materially to knowledge of pulp mill effluent interaction with warm-water fishery resources throughout the Southeast. Construction of the streams, about 300 feet long and three to five feet wide, will start in September.
