VOLUME NO. 60
SENIOR
By Reporter
Eighty senior citizens were
called to order on Monday
morning by Vice-President
Mrs. Rosanna Swink. Mrs. M.
H. Ridenhour acted as sec-
retary and Miss Bettie Orren
, der as pianist. iMirs. G. H.
Spry brought the devotionals.
Her scripture was Gadatians
,6: 1-10, 14. Following her in
spiring remarks, Frank Miller
offered prayer.
Visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Cole from near Lex
ington and Mr. Dol Pope
of Woodleaf.
Mrs. Ida Foster and Mrs.
E. C. Tatum, Sr. brought flow
ers.
Mrs. M. H. Ridenhour had
Charge of the program. News
events were given by various
members, using the names of
other members instead of
' those in print. This was quite
amusing. Next, a contest,
"How well do you know your
disciples?" in which eight
members took part. The au
thor used not only the Scrip
tures, but descriptions from
two books, "The Master's iMen"
by William Barclay, and
"Jesus Loved Them", by Sam
Patrick and Omar Garrison.
So much description and
mythology was quite confus
ing and a few correct answers
were given. Monday evening
at 7:30 there were fifty-one
of our members who attended
Revival services at the First
Baptist Church. Sitting in a
body, they sang three hymns
as part of the special mu
sic.
This w>eek we are paying
tribute to one of our Octogen
arian members, Mr. H. M.
Daniel, He has contributed
much to our program with
his beloved violin.

Questions and Answers
QUESTION: Ho long would it be before these
schools would be completed?
ANSWER: It would probably be three more school
years before these buildings would be completed. After
the sites are located, 8 to 10 months would be needed
for planning before bids are let. Adequate time to p lftn
for economical construction is a must.
QUESTION: Why doesn't the state put more money
into school buildings?
ANSWEB: This obligation is left largely to the
counties, and is the principal reason for exercise of
local control in our schools. We feel that local control
is good, since it gives the dtisena a voice in the ad
ministration of onr schools; but, if we relieve ourselves of
financial obligation, we must also relinquish our rights
to control.
QUESTION: How does our local effort compare with
other counties?
ANSWER: There is a wide disparity among units in
the matter of local financial effort Our local effort
in per pupil expenditure last year was $45.10; this
was $17.87 below the state average per-pupil ex
penditure of $62.47. This Means that a Davie County
student reoeived $17.37 less than the average student
throughout the state in educational goods and services
daring the 1965-'66 school year,
MissCreason
Student Teacher
Judy Ann Creason, daughter
of Mr*. Dorothy Creason liv
ing at 909 Duke St. Ext*,

ian State Teachers College,
Boona. In this program stu
dents devote approximately
twelve weeks to student teach
ing ih tile field for which they
have tkfea preparing.
An part of the student teach
ing progftim, the Appalachian
student usually lives in the
community near the school and
participates in community ac
tivities as well as in school
activities. The student devotes
full time in the school and
gradually takes over the full
teaching load, always under
the supervision of the super
vising teacher and the princi
pal. The local school's parti
cipation ' with Appalachian'?

valuable asset to the general
education program of North
