Augusta congratulates
you, Raymone, and
eagerly awaits your move
to the next plateau. Good
luck and happiness always.
Recently returning from
a summer vacation
through the Southland
with her husband,
daughter and granddaugh
ters is Mrs. Canute
Richardson, who digressed
a bit from her route to
attend the Alpha Kappa
Alpha’s 58th national
Boule in Houston, Texas.
She was honored at the
public reception and
banquet, respectively. The
honorees, known as the
Golden Girls, received
golden crowns and gold
medallions with gold
chain. This honor is
bestowed on all members
who have been active
members for 50
continuous years. “Jo” as
she is popularly known,
retired as Registrar of
Paine College in 1976. She
said it was certainly a
thrilling moment to look
over an audience of more
than 4,000 members and
guests and receive their
warm congratulations.
“Hats off to Mrs.
Richardson!” We extend
our warm congratulations
and are proud of your
dedication and service to
this outstanding women’s
group.
To be eligible for this free
service, recipients were
required to be either elderly
(60 years of age or older) or
handicapped and their income
had to fall below the Office of
Management and Budget’s
Poverty Guidelines.
Before each home was
weatherized, it was evaluated
to determine where the largest
amount of heat was being lost.
After evaluating the cost, it
was determined what
weatherization improvements
would be made. Improvements
included installing attic
insulation, adding storm
windows, caulking windows,
and weatherstripping doors.
With improvements made to
their homes, the recipients
hope to have warmer homes
and lower fuel bills this winter.
The program expects to
receive a new contract from
DOE for approximately
$68,000 for this contract
period that will end December,
1978.
Persons meeting the
poverty guidelines and are in
need of weatherization
services, should contact the
Housing and Energy Direction,
Melvin Stewart at (404)

Nutrional
breakfast
is a right
In 1975, Congress made
school breakfast a permanent
national program and made it
dear that breakfast should be
made available at school to
meet the nutritional needs of
children who do not eat a good
breakfast at home. So this is
important because studies
show that a child who has had
a good nutritional breakfast
functions better in school than
a child that has not had
breakfast at all.
Even though breakfast is a
very important meal, only one
out of every five people in this
county eats a good breakfast
every morning. It your children
eat free breakfasts at school,
you can save an average of S7O
for each child every year. Any
public or private non-profit
school can have a breakfast
program.
There can be no limit on the
number of children who get
breakfast or on the number of
schools that serve breakfast in
our area. The only requirement
is that the school board must
apply to the State School Food
Director.
Once that is done your
school must be approved for
funding at once. All children
who are eligible for free lunch
are also automatically eligible
for free breakfast. Children
who are eligible for
reduced-price lunch can get
breakfast at a reduced price
which is ten cents or less. Our
school can get 75 percent of
the cost of buying equipment
to store, prepare, transport,
and serve meals from the
federal government. If one
child in your family is eligible
for free or reduced-price meals,
then the other children in your
family are eligible, too.
Remember: When children
are not hungry, they are more
attentive in class, they can
learn better, and they have
fewer complaints of headaches,
dizziness and fatigue. School
breakfast programs have also
increased school attendance
and decreased tardiness.
For more information call
828-2327. After 5 p.m. call
733-8912.

Bond issue explained
By Glossine Davis Peterson
Second part of series
The current bond referendum
makes provision for the conversion
of the system’s junior high schools
to middle schools. Additionally, the
proposed McDuffie and Margon
Road Schools would also be middle
schools.
In order for one to understand
the concept of the middle school, it
is necessary that we take a look at
the present junior high schools.
What one tends to find is a replica
of the senior high school -a
departmental subject - matter
curriculum, competitive sports, and
sophisticated early socialization
activities. The junior high
curriculum appears to be more
program-centered than
child-centered. In other words, the
junior high school student is to
adopt to the program provided
irrespective of the student’s needs
and interests.
Taking as a prime consideration
the role of youth in the peer group
and the society, the middle school
is designed to accomodate students
during the transitional period from
childhood to adulthood called
transescence.
According to David H. Eichhorn,
author of The Middle School:
“Transescence is the stage of
development which begins prior to
the onset of puberty and extends
through the early stages of
adolescence. Since puberty does
not occur for all precisely at the
same chronological age in human
development, the transecent
designation is based on the many
physical, social, emotional, and
intellectual changes in body
chemistry that appear prior to the
time which the body gains a
practical degree of stabilization
over these complex subsequent
changes.”
Accordingly, the comprehensive
study of the Richmond County
Board of Education, April 1978,
states that the reorganization of the
grade structure 6-8 is based on the
following rationale:
“In terms of personal, social, and
physical characteristics, research
indicates that sixth graders are
more like seventh graders than fifth
graders. The reason is related to the
onset of puberty, which has not
begun for most fifth graders as it
has for sixth graders. Thus, pupils
in the fifth grade still resemble
children more than they do early
adolescents. Research has reported
an age for the onset of puberty
approximately one to two years

earlier than in preceding
generations and on accelerated
growth process.”
It is interesting to note that some
research reports that no difference
is indicated to the educational
achievement, self concept, attitude
toward school, and acceptance
among peer of fifth and/or sixth
grade pupils whether they are
placed in either an elementary or a
middle school.
Furthermore, the Association for
Supervision and Curriculum
Development (ASCD) states that
the middle school should be an
institution which is identifiable by
the following characteristics: 1
1. A unique program adopted to
the needs of the pre- and early
adolescent students.
2. The widest possible range of
intellectual, social, and physical
experience.
3. Opportunities for explanation
and development of fundamental
skills needed by all while making
allowances for individual learning
patterns. It should maintain an
atmosphere of basic respect for
individual difference.
4. A climate that enables
students to develop abilities, find
facts, weigh evidence, draw
conclusion, determine values, and
that keeps their minds open to new
facts.
5. Staff members who recognize
and understand the students needs,
interests, backgrounds, motivations,
goals, as well as their stresses,
strains, frustrations, and fears.
6. A smooth educational
transition between the elementary
and the junior high school and the
high school while allowing for the
physical and emotional changes
taking place due to transescence.
7. An environment where the
child, not the program, is most
important and where the
opportunity to succeed is ensured
for all students.
8. Guidance in the development
of mental processes and attitudes
needed for constructive citizenship
and the development of lifelong
competencies and appreciations
needed for effective use of leisure.
9. Competent instructional
personnel who will strive to
understand the students whom they
serve and develop professional
competencies which are both
unique and applicable to the
tr ansescent .student
10. Facilities and time which
allow student and teachers an
opportunity to achieve the goals of
the program to their fullest
capabilities.
