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.

Since there is no flame, there are no products of combustion such as
moisture, soot, grime or smoke. The electric heat pump consumes no oxygen
thus insuring a clean, constant, healthful supply of filtered air. It is the
truly modem way to “climatize” your home the year ’round.
Using no fuel except electricity, the same unit cools you pleasantly in
summer—^keeps you comfortably warm in winter. If you are wondering
how the electric heat pump compares in operating cost, just ask your CP&L
representative to show you case histories and actual operating records. In
this way, you can prove to yourself that this unique cooling and heating
system costs no more than competitive systems.
Remember—only flameless electricity provides matchless Medallion
Living.
