School Committee
Evaluates Shepard
Representatives of the Southern
Association of Secondary Schools
and Colleges visited with Shepard
High School, Zebulon, April 12, 14,
and 15, to make an evaluative
study of the school’s program.
Local School Board members
and the Chairman, Mr. T. E. Hales
along with Mr. C. V. Whitley,
Member of Wake County Board of
Education, were present at the
first general session on Wednesday
night, April 13, to welcome the
members of the visiting commit
tee headed by Dr. Rudolph Jones,
Professor of Education, Fayette
ville State Teachers College.
Several conferences were held
with student groups at which time
the pupils interpreted practices and
techniques to the committee with
respect to the school’s philosophy.
Parents and patrons as well .is
students and faculty members
demonstrated untiring efforts dur
ing the process of evaluation.
There was great enthusiasm on the
part of all persons concerned.
A final written report on com
mittee findings will be made
within the next several weeks.
However, final action on the
school’s application for member
ship in the Southern Association
will not be taken until October.
The oral report, which was made
at the closing session by the vis
iting committee Friday afternoon,
April 15, indicated that many de
sirable practices were observed
during the evaluation. Several con
structive criticisms were offered
which can prove of inestimable
value in improving the instruc
tional program.

This new starter is just one of
many features that have been in
troduced by Jacobsen. They were
the first to put rubber tires on
power mowers, then pneumatic
tires; they also pioneered a power
mower for putting greens and
made the first automatic recoil
starter.
The electric starter is another
forward step in making it easy
to have and really enjoy a smooth
and well kept lawn.
TO LOCAL CITIZENS:
The Wakelon School faculty en
dorses the idea of raising funds
by the School Appreciation Dinner
and for the purposes stated in the
letter written to all school patrons
who are being given an opportunity
to buy a ticket.
We feel that it will mean a great
deal to the community to have the
Wakelon School become a mem
ber of the Southern Association of
Colleges since it is the highest
honor a school can receive only
about one fourth of the schools in
North Carolina are members of
this group.
Acceptance by the Southern As
sociation of Colleges is a guaran
tee to you and to your ctyld that
his school is offering him the best
in the instructional program and in
equipment and supplies.
We urge your participation in
this project.
