Former Hertford Resident Retires
From D.C School System
Mrs. Lillian Elliott Highe,
who spent her childhood years
in Hertford, and who graduated
from Hertford High School, was
a happy retiree among about
three hundred retirees from the
District of Columbia School
System in June, 1972.
Mrs. Highe began her
teaching career in the public
schools of North Carolina before
joining the District of Columbia
School System where she had a
successful and fascinating
career for twenty-one years.
During her tenure she served as
a classroom teacher five years
and then was promoted to the
Reading Clinic where she
served as a clinician and
diagnostician sixteen years. In
1971, she was city's first reading
specialist to be reclassified and
receive The Board Order as a
Reading Consultant, having
met all qualifications for
reclassification approved by
The Board of Education.
During Mrs. Highe's career
she says it was .perfectly
fascinating when she worked in
a team approach with cross-disciplines-clinical
psycho
logists, social workers;
counselors, principals reading
supervisors, teachers, and par
ents to remediate or reorgan
ize a child's learning program.
Some of her other most delight
ful assignments were working
with professional teams or
committees such as the In
novation Team that designed a
Federal City College Reading
Project, a program that
proposed to advance high school
students' reading .techniques
prior to college entrance; the
Qualifications Committee that
worked with the central Ad
ministration to r establish
reading standards for
specialized reading personnel to
comply with the International
Reading Association's standards
and city needs; the committee
to reorganize the reading
behavioral objectives i, for
reading achievement for
elementary and junior high
schools; and serving as a
consultant with the TTT
(Teachers of Teachers of
Teachers) Project to design a
professional reading course for
the ' District of Columbia

Mrs. Mann
As Outstanding
Woman Of Year
Mrs. Milton T. Mann - wife of
the minister of the First United
Methodist Church of Hertford
was recently notified that she
has been selecled'as one of the
Outstanding Young Women of
America for 1972.
Each year women between
the ages of 21 and 35 who have'
been active in civic, service and
church activities are recognized
ror ouslanding ability, ac
complishments and service.
Mrs. Mann is a graduate of
High Point College in the field of
elementary education. She has
taught ' in several school
systems in the state and has
been active in church and
community, activites.
Mrs. Mann is the former Gaye
Wall daughter of Mrs. Myrtle U
Wall formerly of Wake County
balance. This is, of course, only
a political escape phrase. The
truth of the matter is that no
court has ordered busing to
achieve racial balance. Busing
has been ordered for purposes
of desegregation,' and there is
an important legal difference.
Desegregation is an effort to
eliminate essentially one-race
schools; racial balancing is an
effort to establish a racial quota
at every school.
The real issue is whether the
courts have the power to dictate
to the people, and why
Congressmen have not taken
any real positive steps to check
their actions. I am against
forced integration. I am against
the court ruling that freedom of
choice is unconstitutional. When
freedom of choice is lost,
freedom itself is lost. It is time
the people take positive action
to preserve their freedoms. I
am for a return to freedom of
choice and the neighborhood
school concept.
It seems that the Supreme
Court is taking over more and
more things, and I think this is
wrong. Somehow or other, this
country is heading toward
socialism and dictatorship and
away from democracy.
The courts have used the
Blacks people in this country to
achieve their socialistic goals,
and have stripped them of their
identity as a people. It is an
insult to tell a black child he can
learn only when he is
surrounded by whites.' Blacks
should have the same op
portunity to attend quality, well
financed schools of their own
choice.
Busing, to achieve forced
integration, is not the answer to
this nation's educational
problems. We must develop
highly qualified teachers, build
modern schools in more neigh
borhoods. Citizens should have
an unqualified right to reap the
full benefits of the community
in which they live."
directors may be made at the
meeting
Registration will begin at
1:00. Members are urged to
bring their registration card
with them to the meeting.
