[<■ CEN l> On recommendation 'of the Area III advisory council and approval of the Moore County board of education last Tues day night, school consolida tion in Area III will be on the 8-4 grading plan, rather than the 6-3-3.

This means continuation of the plan now in effect in the three systems to be merged— Southern Pines, PinehurU and Moore County—with grades 1 through 8 in an organized elementary program and grades 9 through 12 in the consolidated high school. The 6-3-3 plan would leave the first six grades in an or ganized elementary probram, grades 7 through 9 organized as a junior high school and grade; 10 through 12 in the ser'i'^r hirrh school. Basic facilities to be inclu ded in the new building, for which a site has been selected on US 15-501 one mile soutn of the Pinehurst traffic circle, would be practically the same for either plan. Built for the 8-4 plan, the .school would be easily adaptible to the 6-3-3 plan should a change be de sired in later years. Reasons for Decision The advisory council, with Joe S. Lennon of Aberdeen as chairman, said it had given much study to both plans and preferred the 8-4 plan for the following reasons: Transportation will be far les complicated if all elemen tary children remain on their present campuses; there would be no point in transporting them to another school, when their program of studies would coincide in large part with that (Continued on Page 8) FRIDAY NIGHT OVER TIMBER—‘Chasers and riders re ceiving top plaudits in the featured Sand hills Cup test at the Stoneybrook Hunt Race Meet are shown here—at right.
