Board House
To Be Converted To Offices
The Hoke County Board of
Education will have the board
owned house on Harris Avenue
converted to offices for the ex
ceptional children's and school
food service programs.
The board made the decision at
its regular meeting October 14 after
rejecting the high bid of S26.000 for
the property, formerly used as a
residence for Hoke County High
School principals.
The board allowed Mrs. Earl
Oxendine, the current tenant, till
January 1 to find another resi
dence. Her husband was promoted
to director of compensatory educa
tion from the principalship last
year.
In other action, the board turned
down a request to provide 17 of the
22 vocational education teachers
with the $35 per month extra pay
each authorized by the General
Assembly last yew for compensa
tion for work done beyond the
regular school day, as sponsors of
clubs, and in other activities.
The rejection was made on the
grounds that the extra pay for one
group of teachers would be unfair
to other teachers who do similar
extra work without extra pay.
The state pays 76 per cent and
the local school boards 24 per cent
of the extra pay. If the extra for the

17 teachers had been approved, the
cost to the county would have been
SI, 565, but this was not the reason
the request was rejected.
The teachers serve at Upchurch
Junior and Hoke High Schools.
Under the procedure, the teacher
files the application with the prin
cipal, then, if the principal finds
the extra pay is justified, signs the
paper, then turns it over to the
county schools superintendent, who
submits it to the county school
board for action.
The board approved the em
ployment of the following in food
service at the schools listed: Hoke
High - Annie Chandler, Joy Lynn
Chavis, and Lynn Ellis; Turlington
School ? Marvin McPhatter; and
Upchurch -? William Bratcher.

Each year, the Hoke County
Chapter of the National Honor
Society Schedules a day to initiate
its new members. These students
are usually juniors who were tap
ped in at the end of their
sophomore year. For a student to
be in the National Honor Society
he must maintain a grade point
average of ninety or above. The
students are also judged on their
character, leadership and various
other aspects.
For their initiation, new
members were told to dress up as a
certain character for school on
Wednesday. The old NHS
members decided what each stu
dent was to wear. Here is a list of
the students and how they dressed
on Wednesday.
Wendy Clinard - Bugs Bunny
Linda Goodman - Pink Panther
John Jordan - Deamon Deacon
Terence Malloy - Tinker Bell
Kevin Markham' - Box of
Wheaties
Rose Parish - Hard Boiled Egg
Cynthia Smith - A baby
Patrick Smith - A martian
I am sure it was a very in
teresting day for all of these
students.
Last Monday evening at seven
thirty, there was a candlelight In
duction Service for the new
members. Old members, parents
and other special guests were all in
