Thursday, October 13.1977 Tha Faithful Christian The faithful Christian will always find A place in God’s kingdom for he is divine; For those who are ready it will be a great day, To experience Christ coming to catch his waiting bride away. So let us follow closely and heed to God’s command, For this is the whole duty of man; By reading his word and being very much in prayer, Will always bring us blessings beyond compare. A faithful Chrisitan should always think twice, Before staring out to council others or to give them advice; For we are none perfect, only God is divine, Who has never made a mistake at any time. While God is our supplier he will take care of our needs, So let us live humble and follow where he leads; For God is our best friend, our comforter, and guidij, And will pilot us safely over on the other side. There will be no heartaches, sorrow, or pain, But will be joy and gladness in Jesus holy name; There will be rejoicing with all who have stood true, For I want to be ready, how about you? The faithful Christian will always seek a place Where they can call on God for more of his grace To help them to stand in this old sin curse world, Against the wiles of Satan as they are unfurled. So let us keep on trusting and be faithful unto the end, And be that Christian that God can recommend; For he will always help those who will trust and obey, To march on toward victory the last mile of the way Dalton Ward Tyner, N.C.

Busing Procedures Draw Parents' Criticism Requesting “equal con sideration, only” for his children and citing observed discrepancies -in the state rules and regulations dic tating to, and the actual practice of, picking up and returning bus children to and from their homes, Elliott Atstupenas appeared before the Edenton-Chowan Board of Education during their October 3 meeting. Atstupenas had previously been informed that according to State rules and regulations, school bus stops were only made every two miles. Chairman Eugene Jordan stated that he felt that the “problem can be resolved locally, but if not, the State Tran sportation Office can be consulted.” Another parent appeared before the board to request that consideration be given to making additional bus stops in the Chowan Court Apartment area, especially during inclement weather. Upon learning that this request had not been made to those in charge of scheduling, he was advised to do so before requesting that the board interfere. Other visitors at the meeting included Mrs. Elton Boswell, faculty advisor, and Jill Copeland, president of Chowan High School’s NCSU Total Student Census Hits 17,730 Students from each of the state’s 100 counties, the District of Columbia, two territories and all 49 other states and 77 other coun tries are studying the sciences, technologies, humanities and arts at North Carolina State University this fall. The Division of Student Affairs reported that the final headcount of men and women shows a record enrollment of 17,730 at the Land-Grant University. Nineteen are from Chowan «£SU&I3Lw. . That total is 827 above the number of 1976 and 259 above the previous record enrollment in 1975. The overwhelming majority of the students are North Carolinians, 15,229 or 86 per cent of the total. However, students also have been attracted to NCSU from Florida to Alaska and from Maine to Hawaii. In addition, foreign students come from countries as far away as Australia, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Sierra Leone. Conspicious by their presence are 5,449 women students, 31 per cent of this year’s enrollment at the former citadel of male education. THE CHOWAN HERALD Student Government Association, who stated that a representative from the school’s Local Government Class would be attending each School Board Meeting in the, future. Several reports were presented during the meeting. Composite graphic statistics, based on a three year study of test data, showed that from 1975 to 1977, the average of all scores in all sub-test areas of the lowa Test of Basic; Skills revealed growth and progress of students yearly. Similar three-year graph comparisons were presented in the sub-test areas of these same groups of students for reading comprehension and math. All ITBS data presented reflected average scores of children who were in grades one through six three years ago, and in grades three through eight at the time of last ITBS testing in the spring of ’77. Beginning at the third grade level it appeared that students started falling behind in grade level con sistently, yearly, ending approximately a year or more below grade level at the eighth grade level. It was pointed out by Mrs. Maiy Horton, director of Pupil Personnel Services, that even though the averages for these students was below grade level the progress and growth pattern were consistent and that there had been “many gains, some better than others, but no where are we losing ground.” Statistical data was also presented on pre and post TOBE tests administered to kindergarten students in this fall and spring of ’76-’77.

Box 572 Phone: 335-4252 cepts of a general nature what students know when they come to school for the first time. Students entering the first grade in 1976 were given a reading readiness test. On a scale from one to nine, measuring poor to superior, 19 per cent (the largest group) of all students tested in the upper average category. A new test, the Adult Performance Level (APL), which was administered to 11th and 12th grades in 1977 was explained. This test is designed to the proficiency of functional skills needed in everyday life. The test, which will be administered to all Uth graders in the fall of ’7B, will determine if a student has mastered functional life skill, such as completing application for employment, reading bus schedules, computing plane fares, etc. Passage of this test will be a necessary requirement for graduation from high school with a student being given the opportunity of re-taking any part of the test failed during the senior year. Board members were informed that a SIOO,OOO yearly Alternative School Program had received funding effective October 3. The ASP is being funded two years through the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, plus $5,000 state and $5,000 local matching funds each year. According to Supt. John Dunn, the two-year project has a lot of merit for school students, in that it will affect students in need of an alternative school situation, and will enable teachers a place to refer students with discipline problems. The Alternative School Program is designed to meet the needs of potential dropouts, push outs, and phase outs. Students in volved will receive in dividualized, flexible classroom, instruction, actual work experience, and concentrated counseling service when necessary.
