Seems he can’t find a qualified journal ism instructor and announced over the school loudspeaker that the school newspaper and yearbook would be handled as an extracurricular activity rather than a regular class, as it is at other high schools. Luckily for the students, parents’ calls to school board members got the attention of Supt.

Seems some of the students have been park ing in the church’s lot, across the street from the school. Church officials said that was OK as long as the school made sure the lot was kept clean. Principal Cline told church officials that was not the school’s responsibility and that the students were just avoiding using the many parking spaces already avail able on the campus for a nominal $15 fee. Last year, Principal Kenny Simmons, who was booted out by Supt. Smith, accepted University Park’s offer and a group of students regularly cleaned the lot. University Park officials are looking out for the kids, though. They can get parking permits directly from the church. • While Fly’s buzzing West Charlotte, what happened to the highly-praised gospel choir, the one that went all the way to Washington, D.C. and the Lincoln Center? A parent said she asked the West Charlotte music department chairman about the choir and was told that the chairman didn’t know anything about it. Hmmm. Cline promised the choir would survive last summer’s shake-up at the school. Those children could sure sing.
