Hoke Schools Offer Job
Training, Special Classes
By Cassle Wasko
Of the 16 over- school- age people
pleading guilty to various charges
in the last session of Superior
Court, only six had completed high
school or taken the G.E.D. Only
one had any type of education
beyond high school. Had these
students remained in the school
system and been motivated to gain
further education or learn a job
skill, perhaps they would not have
ended up in the courts.
The Hoke County Schools are
working to make education and job
training easily obtainable for all
students. They offer programs not
only for the mentally and physically
handicapped, but also for those
who are handicapped by time,
money and desire.
Assistant Superintendent John
D. McAllister explains that a major
part of his job is to seek out funding
to aid in offering the many pro
grams available. This school year
alone, Hoke County Schools will
receive close to a half-million
dollars in federal grants. These
grants make possible such pro
grams as remedial reading, Indian
education, migrant education, all
types of media and a new program
dealing with early childhood
failure. Harold L. Gillis, local
director of vocational education.
_ [
Steininger
Appointed
To Committee
says that his vocational programs
also receive some federal funds.
Gillis explains that the voca
tional courses begin in the middle
grades in an exploration program.
The students discuss different
careers and what skills and training
are required for them. Hoke High
School provides students with an
opportunity to learn a trade that
can be incorporated into further
training or can be used to secure a
job immediately out of high school.
The 17 vocational teachers provide
students the opportunity to learn
brick masonry, drafting, carpentry,
mechanics, electrical work, textiles
and health occupations.
Currently many of the vocational
students are working on a "live
project" - they are constructing a
house that will be auctioned off
next spring. Most of the construc
tion will be done solely by the
students. They will receive help
in areas where a licensees required
to perform a specific skill.
The goal of this program, Mr.
Gillis says, is to provide students
with a skill so that upon gradua
tion, they will not be unemploya
ble. Many students do not have the
desire or the financial resources to
continue their education past high
school.
Mr. Gillis says that to be a part
of the vocational program, a stu
The appointment of a McCain
physician to membership on an
important public service committee
of the State Medical Society has

Estes. Society President.
Dr. Wilbur J. Steininger has
been reappointed to the Committee
on Chronic Illness. The function of
this committee is to remain in
formed about and to make recom
medations in the field of medical
care as it pertains to the problems
of long term care of the chronically
ill.
The committee also studies the
causes leading to chronic illness,
the development of the illness to the
stage of disability, the potential for
rehabilitation, and the needs for
institutional care.

dent must declare a tentative
objective. The student works with a
guidance counselor to determine
what program would best suit him.
The student has the freedom to
change courses if he wishes. Gillis
also says he hopes to eventually get
certification for his students.
Another exciting program
available for students who are
limited by time and Find they can
no longer attend school during
regular hours is the Extended Day
Program. Under the guidance of
Geraldine Munn, learning lab
teacher, the students come to
school at 3 p.m. and work until 8
p.m. They do not have to repeat
anything already mastered and may
remain in the program until age 21.
At the completion of the program,
a regular high school diploma is
awarded.
In the migrant program, any
person in the school district in the
last year seeking employment in
the area of agriculture or agricul
ture processing may obtain special
help for their children in math.
Mrs. Sam Morris teaches these
children in an attempt to improve
their math skills. Surveys are done
in the classroom and local govern
ment agencies are contacted in an
effort to locate migrant children
who need the help this program
offers.
The Indian Education Act pro
vides cultural enrichment for the
Indian students attending Hoke
County Schools.
Clara Pope, school food service
director, says that the free lunch
program is paid for through the
sales of supplemental foods. Ap
proximately 70 percent of the
children attending Hoke County
Schools are eligible for the free
lunch program. Breakfast is pro
vided at a cost of 20 cents for those
children in grades K-6 that do not
qualify for the free meal. Although
there is no breakfast program in
the higher grades, the program is
extended to include special chil
dren such as the trainable mentally
disabled and others.
The Hoke County School system
offers programs to aid almost any
student, regardless of his situation.
The opportunity is there for those
who wish to take it.
| Campbell Concert
1 Honors Paul Green
The Department of Music Art
and Drama of Campbell College
has announced the annual Christ
mas concert of the Campbell Choir
for 8 p.m., Dec. 6, in Turner
Auditorium. A local girl, Miss Tara
Lynn Barnes is a member of the
choir.
The program will open with
classic sacred compositions written
for church choirs by Palestrina,
Handel, Mendelssohn, and Mo
zart.
The performance is to be dedi
cated to Paul and Elizabeth Green,
dramatists, poets, and musicians of
Chapel Hill; and its second half will
feature two selections from the
Christmas lyrics of Paul Green,
together with traditional carols of
five nations.
One of these, "Awake. Glad
Tidings," will be performed by
three soloists: Melody Colvin of
Wilmington, Sherry Jones of
Smithfield, and Betty Lynn Wal
lace of Buies Creek.
The second Paul Green selection
will be given as a reading by Daniel
A. Linnev, director of Campbell's
division of drama. Professor Lin
ney, whose master's thesis is a
study of aspects of Green's works,
is founding sponsor of the Paul
Background Scripture:
Job 1 through 3;
12 through 13.
Devotional Reading:
Psalms 143.
Although , the story of Job may
find its origins in the times of the
patriarchs, it is likely that the Book
of Job, as we now know it, was
written in the 7th century B.C.,
approximately 2,300 years ago. It is
ironic that the concept the writer
was attempting to destroy is one
that is still so prevalent today. In
2,300 years we have not succeeded
in putting that concept to rest.
The writer of the Book of Job was
primarily concerned with attacking
a popular belief which he was
convinced to be quite erroneous. It
was the belief that, if a person
suffered in any way, it was a
punishment from God. Corre
spondingly. if a man prospered, it
was assumed that his prosperity
was a reward for righteouness. In
the story of Job his three friends
seem to assume without question
that Job's suffering must be the
result of some iniquity on his part.
The writer of Job was intent in
demonstrating that concept as
quite false. There must be some
better answer for human suffering
than God's punishment. The writer
of Job makes this abundantly clear
in Job 1. In the very beginning of
the story he is described as a man
who "was blameless and upright,
one who feared God and turned
away from evil" (1:1). The writer
describes him as a very prosperous
man. even calling him "the greatest
of all the people of the east" (1:3).
When God speaks with Satan
about Job, his description is glow
ing: "...there is none like him on
the earth" (1:8). When, in Job 2,
we see this prosperous and happy
man in the midst of abject suffer
ing, we cannot claim that it is
God's punishment for Job's sin.
Nor can his tragedy be ascribed
to his response to his troubles.
Satan is confident that, although
Job's faith in God remains constant
in the face of his tragedies, if his
health is taken from him he will

Green Order, dramatic honorary
society of the college. As a former
Carolina Playmaker, Linney has'a
further common interest with the
North Carolina dramatist, who, as
a graduate of the Buies Creek
Academy class of 1914, is a
Campbell College alumnus.
An associate of Dr. Yoder, who
accuses him of believing each year
that his present group of singers is
"the finest 1 have ever had,"
reports him as especially pleased
that this particular group is singing
"this particular concert."
Dr. Yoder has commented that
the 35 singers are exceptionally
bright and lively - a group of
leaders who have been wearing him
out trying to keep a challenge in
front of them. "They have, he
said, "exceptional spirit and enjoy 1
each other more than any group I
have had recently." In this, he
thinks, "They themselves express
unusually well the real meaning of
Christmas."
Dr. Yoder. who received training
from Florida State University, has
directed the choir since 1961. The
Christmas concert, open to the
public without charge, will be the
14th appearance of the Campbell *
singers in the current season.

finally turn against God. So, Satan
orders terrible physical ordeals for
Job to make him abandon God.
Although Job is subjected to cynic
ism by his friends, it was the words
of his wife that must have wounded
him most deeply of all: "Do you
still hold fast your integrity? Curse
God, and die" (2:9).
Yet, despite these extreme pro
vocations, we are told: "In all this
Job did not sin with his lips" (2: 10).
So the writer has illustrated force
fully that Job's suffering must have
some other answer than sin and
punishment. But few learned what
the writer was trying to say and
seven centuries later Jesus' disciples
would look at a blind man and ask:
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or "
his parents, that he was born
blind?" (John 9:2). And today,
thousands of years later we are stilf
wondering "why?" ,and settling on
the wrong answer.
