(Augusta (College August?, Georgia 30904 a four.-year, state-supported arts and sciences college The Augusta College Department of Education has received notification of its full accreditation from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The NCATE accreditation culminates “at least two years of work” on the local level which included a comprehensive self-study of the college and its teacher education program, according to Dr. James M. Dye, chairman of the department. “With this accreditation, our students can now receive automatic certification in most other states without having to meet further individual requirements,” he said. There are currently 37 states with others considering it -- r F ✓ Photo By Roscoe Williams JOSEY CELEBRATED HOMECOMING On Friday, October 22, 1971 T.W. Josey High School celebrated its Seventh Annual Homecoming. An exciting game against Screven County High School was victorious for Josey with a score of 26 6. Many loyal Joseyites, parents and friends witnessed the night’s activities from the presentation of colors by the Junior Air Force ROTC and the “now” sounds of the Magnificent 100 Marching Band, until the last second ticked away on the scoreboard. During half-time, Miss Evon Johnson, a senior, was crowned Miss Homecoming. She was presented a bouquet of gold mums from the football team, and a trophy from Pilgrim Health and Life Ins. Company by Mrs. Gussie Hobbs. Her attendants and escorts were as follows: Pamela Grant and Cadet Johnny Thomas Joyce Thomas and Cadet Robert Jones Beverly Wooten and Cadet Franklin Dunn Loretta Thomas and Cadet Tyrone Alberty As Miss Homecoming was escorted to the center of the field by Cadets Carr and Freeman, the band played “Bridge Over Troubled Water” which was dedicated to the charming Miss Johnson. wow which agree to this practice of reciprocity which insures “automatic granting of a teaching license to recommended students who have graduated from a NCATE-approved teacher education program,” Dr. Dye added.

Payroll Checks will be retroactive to September 1, 1970, enabling students who have graduated during that academic year to take full advantage of NC ATE’s reciprocity. The period of accreditation continues for ten years, he said. Dr. George A. Christenberry, president of AC, said NCATE’s accreditation is a “recognition of the fact that our teacher-education program meets the high national standards of the Council.” Augusta College joins a select group of four institutions in the University System of Georgia which have gained NCATE accreditation. On the national level, only 38 per cent of the teacher-educa tion institutions in the U.S. have this status, Dr. Dye pointed out. “NCATE’s practice of reciprocity is particularly valuable in today’s highly mobile society,” Dr. Dye said, adding, “the day when students studied and stayed in the same area is over.” The chairman noted that before NCATE accreditation can be sought, the institution has to have full accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and approval of the State Department of Education. -WLFW HBHF M ml HifiL K Photo By Roscoe Williams MISS HOMECOMING AND COURT Lto R Cadet Frank Freeman.
