was provided to help, not to punish,
unwed mothers. They could complete
their high school requirements and
have the help of counselors from Griffin
High or Spalding Junior High schools,
he explained.
An expectant mother might have to
leave school to go to the hospital, or she
may even have the baby at school,
Christie commented.
“We may need to have specially
trained people,” he added.
Miss Drewry called it a case of the
“slim minority dominating the
majority”.
She later remarked that “the school
and church were the last bastions of
morality and many children don’t ever
go to church.”
Mrs. Mary Stinson wanted to know
how the new ruling would affect the
board’s policy on hiring unwed mothers
as teachers.
She said some unwed mothers might
be qualified to teach and asked if the
board could revise its policy concerning
this.
“How can we have unmarried
teachers, with children, trying to set an
example for children in their classes?”
Mr. Christie asked.
“That’s one of the problems with this
country now. We need to return to
basics... moral basics. I don’t employ
these people. If they get married, I’ll
give them a job... Fornication is a sin
against God and man. Keep those
people away from the classroom. They
lower both morals and morales,” he
continued.
“This is another example of the
courts forcing something on us”, Mr.
Walker added.
The athletic department of Griffin
High School has been reprimanded for
its policies concerning disciplining of
student athletes.
Last night the school board voted to
change that policy.
Mr. Christie asked the Professional
Practices Commission to investigate an
incident which took place at Griffin
High School in October, whereby an
11th grade basketball player was
paddled by a basketball coach for
misbehaving in an English class.
The commission determined that the
paddling violated board policy and
recommended student athletes not be
punished by coaches for misbehavior
which takes place outside the gym or
off the athletic field. The principal and
his assistants will be responsible for
disciplining those students during the
regular school day.
Griffin High will get a full-time
basketball coach.
Mr. Christie and the athletic com
mittee of the board are interviewing
applicants and will make recommenda
tion to the full board within the next few
Yimnlzr
WUthD,
Griffin High School is the only AAA
school which does not have a full-time
basketball coach, Christie said.
The board’s policy on renting the
auditorium at Griffin High was
questioned by Mrs. Stinson.
A group had requested the use of the
auditorium for a bicentennial type
program but was turned down by the
building committee, made up of Russell
Smith, Mrs. Yvonne Langford and Ed
Stallings, who had met with Mr.
Christie and Gene Kierbow.
The reasons were that the program
did not meet the criteria of rentals,
which would directly or indirectly
benefit the students, according to
Chairman Smith.
He explained that many requests are
received for the auditorium and that
stiff criteria had to be set.
“We’ve turned down some good
things, but we are charged with the

order of the buildings which must be
kept ready for school functions,” he
said.
Mrs. Stinson said she hoped the policy
could be made more flexible, since it
was difficult to find a place to hold
cultural programs in Griffin.
Hers was the only vote against tur
ning down the request for rental.
Griffin High graduates soon will be
required to have an additional 15
quarter hours of math.
Assistant Supt. Tommy Jones said
some students complete the present
minimum requirement of 25 hours in
junior high school and do not take any
math at Griffin High, “in spite of
counseling.”
Next year, 10th and 11th graders will
have only two English courses at each
level from which to select.
Those preparing to attend college
should take more than the minimum
requirements in such courses as
English, math, science, social studies
and foreign languages, Jones said.
More children can have free lunches,
even teachers can qualify, according
to new federal regulations.
The board was told that family in
comes have been raised to make more
people eligible for the lunches.
For example, a family of four with a
$9,770 annual income, can qualify.
Beginning teachers in Georgia make
around $7,000.
Breakfast is now being served at
Griffin High and Spalding Junior High,
Units One and Two.
Tascar Williams said discipline at
Spalding has improved 75 percent since
the breakfasts began.
Some children catch the school bus
before 7 a.m. and have to wait until 8:30
for classes to begin. A breakfast at
school makes them behave better, he
said.
Some 125 eat breakfast at Griffin
High with around 200 at Units One and
Two.
During December, when school was
in session for only three weeks, more
than 36,000 free lunches and almost
67,000 paid meals were served.
Mrs. Stinson questioned why a news
release was made of Tascar Williams’
appointment as principal at Griffin
High School before being approved by
the board.
She said many of her constituents had
commented about it
As superintendent, Mr. Christie is
empowered by the school board to
make any internal decision.
As the news of Ormand Anderson’s
being made principal in Cherokee
County already had been announced
there, Mr. Christie issued the news
release here, he said.
He explained that as superintendent
he did not need to consult the board, but
out of courtesy, he did inform two board
members. It came up on a Sunday and
he did not see the need of calling the
others, he said.
Mr. Ed Stallings said he was glad it
was explained, that several had asked
him about it, also.
All administrative personnel were
elected for the 1976-77 school year.
Jack Davis was elected to teach
social studies at Griffin High.
Resignations were accepted from
Ronald Ellison, principal at North Side;
Tom Ramsey, math teacher at
Spalding Unit One; and Ormand An
derson, principal at Griffin High.
Ellison had been charged in four
counts of converting school funds to his
own use but was not indicted by the
Spalding Grand Jury last week.
All funds have been accounted for in
connection with the incident.
Glen Cato will replace Tascar
Williams at Spalding Junior High.
