Page SIXTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1962 WEST EHD NEWS and PERSONALS By SALLY AUMAN ' Excellent Beginning According to opinions express ed by both teachers and students, West End School has started the 1962-1963 year with an excellent beginning. The first day, Thurs day, August 30, ran smoothly, ef ficiently and quietly with an en rollment of 221 in the elementary grades and 155 in the High School. Students proceeded to class, almost as if they had been in attendance a week instead of a day. The success of the first day might be due, in part, to the at tendance of the students for a half-day on 'Wednesday, August 29, which was called orientation day. On orientation day, the stu dents had an assembly in the au ditorium, at which time the Rev. Clifton Tuttle, E<aptist minister, gave the devotional. J. F. Sin clair, former principal of 'West End School, introduced the new principal, J. R. Brendell. Principal Brendell discussed briefly a few of the new policies, some of which are as follows: (1) Morning and afternoon “breaks” have been stopped, thus making it possible to have a long er lunch hour. By having more time at lunch, students will be able to use this time to participate in sports and club activity. A “staggered” lunch period system will be used, which means stu dents will be divided into three basic groups; and these groups will be dismissed from class for lunch on a rotational schedule. This system has many advantages both for the students and the lunchroom, 339 students ate lunch the first day, which is an excellent count. (2) A new check-system for stu dent tardies was announced. 'When late for home room, class or any other scheduled activity, a stu dent must obtain a “tardy pass” from the principal’s office. Tar dies will be considered either “excusable” or “unexcusable.”. The first unexcusable tardy will not be held against the student; however the second will place the student on probation. When a student receives the third unex cusable tardy, he will be suspend ed from school. The advantage of this system to the student will be a full complete period of class instruction, without the interrup tion of students coming in late. The eliminiation of tardy students will help all the students in the class, the teacher and the tardy students themselves. (3) Because of lack of parking space and also for safety reasons, students will not be allowed to drive cars on the school campus. (4) A major objective of the (5i) Special attention will be placed on the library and its use. A new course. Library Science, will be given. The course will be taught by Mrs. W. M. Thompson and will carry 1 unit of credit. (6) In order to become better acquainted with students and parents, teachers will be visiting in the homes of the students dur ing the year. Beginning on Tuesday, Septem ber 4, for a period of two weeks, school will take in one-half hour earlier. This means beginning at 8:00 a. m. and ending at 2:30 p. m. This change in time is to help those students who are needed to help in tobacco.
