TOUCH OF ELEGANCE BY BARBARA DANLEY The bright sun illuminated the white halls, and the shrill peel of the third period bell bounced first down the hall, around the corner and back again. Kids poured out of rooms on both sides, laughing and talking as they rusfied to their next class. One mature stately figure, a full head taller than the others, walked with the mob through the bat-winged doors, down the concrete steps and onto the open air walkway which led to his classroom. “Hi, Dr. Chappell,” a voice called from his right. “How’s it goin’, Dr. Chap pell?” another asked. Like radar, his dark eyes spanned the hurrying crowd quickly locating his greeters. “Ah fine, and you my friends?” he answered. Many people grumble and complain of the apparent generation gap between parent and child, ad^t and child and teacher and child. However, Dr. Barlett Chappell, Director of Instruction at Union Pines High School, has unlocked the secret, bridging his gap, and practices his philosophy daily. “Our expectations of the high school youngster sometimes are far too low,” Dr. Chappell em phasizes. “In the first place, you have to know your kids. A good teacher tries to make his students better than he is. And it comes as a great shock to a teacher, whose goal is that, to find out, by George, it can be done!” However, his high expectations of his students is only one quality which sets Dr. Barlett Chappell apart from other high school teachers. He is an instructor who believes in getting behind his students rather than in front. Prior to his arrival in the area Dr. Chappell, a graduate of Columbia State University, who majored in English and Science and who holds a Masters of Art in Educational Instruction and a Doctorate in Educational Ad- S[E THE NEW BODV5CAP[5 COLLECTION [yCiriNG rA5HI0N5 in DOZENS OEMZZIING C010IL5 AND STYLES Barbara Rulon-AAiller and the entire collection can be seen at Helen’s in Pinehurst / May 7th Thru May 16th, 10:00 to 4:00 'I O'- The Greatest Gift Of All For Mother The Greatest Girl Of All Jewelry • Rings from $21.00 • Earrings from $4.75 • Also necklaces, bracelets, pins and stick pins Watches • Seiko from $79.50 • Bulova from $49.95 • Caravelle from $39.95 ^ Or that special something for the home No charge for gift wrapping (ilitter ^ox :: Downtown Aberdeen Phone 944-1324 Gently he lifted a tobacco pouch from the pocket of his simple tan jacket,he filled the empty bowl of his pipe with aromatic tobacco, and with a wide-eyed gaze he said, “You can’t fool kids. They see through you if you’re a phoney.” MV MOM IS GOTlrtGr' jEaKS fog, EBEttEZ.ER PtPKlN s cooHTe^ skowinG Cekvei? Dr. Barlett Chappell ministration, taught at the New York Military Academy where he served as Headmaster for half of his 25 years there. After he and his wife, Edna, moved to I^ehurst ten years ago, ChappeD joined the faculty at Union Pines teaching English. His only regret. Dr. Chappell says, is that they didn’t move ten years sooner. When asked about his title. Director of Instruction, Dr. Chappell replied firmly: “I don’t care for titles! You measure a man by what he produces. To me, titles don’t amount to a hill of beans. What counts is whether you can do it.” As for classroom techniques. Dr. Chappell feels that he is as responsible for the youngster in the back row as he is for the youngster in the front row and that eye4o-eye contact plays a vital part in teaching. “I have the kids gather around, and we have a first grade seminar of seniors.” Through his years of teaching,- Dr. Chappell concludes, “A teacher is probably his best when he gets out of the way of the kids.” And he did just that in 1973 when he was approached by George Griffin, Principle of Union Pines High School, to teach a class without a curriculum. “George asked me how I would like to teach a class without a curriculum, and I asked him, ‘Will you be ready with a basket when I fall flat on my face?”’ Chappell chuckled, remem bering how he and eight students departed on the challenge of their educational career-a challenge which would not end that first year but would live and grow in the minds and hearts of all those whose lives it would touch. “This was to be an experiment in what a fine mind could do if freed completely,” Chappell remembered. “We fiddled around with sound and light things. We probed into some areas of psychology which in terested them, and none of them took. We cast about in many fields for about two weeks seeking a point of departure, some common denominator, some firm ground that would provide a great idea or ideas around which some sort of in tellectual edifice could be con structed. We found nothing that drew that gang together.” Then, one of his students wrote a term paper on “a rickety, ole weather-beaten school building, standing directly across the road.” From this piece of line research on the old Union School, Dr. Chappell learned a valuable lesson. “Why stuff kids into a stuffy library when history lies knee deep in this community?” School Menus Thursday Country Style Turkey Candied Sweet Potatoes Chilled Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies Rolls - Milk Friday Golden Fried Fish French Fried Potatoes Carrot-Cabbage Slaw Lemon Pudding Rolls - Milk Monday Sausage Pizza w-dieese Tossed Salad w-Dressing Chilled Orange Wedges Peanut Butter Delight Milk Tuesday Chicken Salad Sandwich Carrot-Celery Sticks Fresh Apple Brownie w-Nuts MUk Wednesday Spaghetti w-Meat Sauce Seasoned Mixed Vegetables Sugar Cookies RoUs - Milk PILOT ADVERTISING PAYS He asked the kids how they would like to restore an old building and gather artifacts. “That did it!” Chapjwll said. Thus the Museum Project, as it is known to Union Pines School and many helpful conununity conscious persons, was born. “The kids saw where their energies lay,” and Dr. Chappell gives them ninety^iine and one- half percent credit for all the developments which followed; sponsoring a yard sale on the coldest day in January, scrounging the countryside for a ichunney, nailing boards, laying blocks, lowering the ceiling, and their most recent effort, com piling a cookbook to raise money, enabling them to continue restoration of the old Union School building. In describing his rapport with his students Dr. Chappell said. “The cardinal principle is trust. If you trust them, they will live up to what they know you expect of them.” From their teacher. Dr. Chappell’s students are spurred on by the high degree of trust he instills in them and influenced by the habitual pride he associates with their adiievements. “Unless we let learning lead us,” he emphasized. “We are playing blind man’s bluff. If a person believes something, he must be an exponent of it. And if one has an exponent of the idea of letting learning lead anyone, he must limit himself, or else he is a phoney.” Mother’s Day is May 13 and we have the perfect gift, the Little People from Roman Crafts men.
