3 Quarter
System tfr6?;. t .. ./j
Under Study
Possibility of Jackson High
School introducing a three
quarter system in September
of 1975 is being studied by a
committee of administrators
and teachers.
Under this arrangement, the
standard unit-per-course would
be cancelled and mini-courses
carrying five quarter hours
credit would be introduced.
This plan is similar to the one
followed by universities.
More than one-third of all
secondary schools in Georgia
are now on this plan.
There are many advantages
to this step and few dis
advantages Mrs. Thelma Pros
ser, chairman of the commit
tee, said.
Last week a group composed
of Mrs. Prosser, Mrs. Gerry
Wright, M. C. Paget, Curtis
Gaye, and Roland Lee attended
a two-day seminar in Atlanta
concerning the quarter system.
The seminar was attended by
educators from states as far
north as New Jersey and as far
southwest as Louisiana.
The groups met in open
session the first day during
which time each phase of the
quarter system functioning in
the Atlanta school system was
investigated. Dr. James C.
Fain, Curriculum Director of
the Atlanta schools, presided
over the meeting.
The second day of the
conference each visitor was
assigned to a special school

and given a guide on a
one-to-one basis.
Mrs. Prosser and Mrs.
Wright visited Smith High
School, while Mr. Paget, Mr.
Gaye, and Mr. Lee visited
Turner High School.
“Students, teachers, and
administrators -- all seemed
enthusiastic about the new
system,” Mrs. Prosser said.
Plans for implementation in
Jackson High School will
continue through the next
school year. Time schedule
calls for the program to go into
action in September, 1975.
Finalization of plans is
subject to approval by the
Butts County Board of Educa
tion as well as the State
Department of Education.
Study of various programs
already in effect will continue
throughout the current school
year. “It is hoped,” Mr. Paget,
principal of the high school,
said, “that each of our teachers
will be able to visit one school
to discuss the plan with a
teacher in a corresponding
department.” He added that an
in-service day will be devoted
to the study in February.
Other members serving on
the committee to study
feasibility of the three quarter
plan are Miss Susan Berry,
Mrs. Susie Griffin, Mrs. Nancy
Houghtaling, Joe Lineberger,
Loy Hutcheson, and William
Shotwell.
There will be another
seminar in April which local
administrators plan to attend.
Devilettes
Notch 15th
Straight
BY BRIAN WAITS
Progress-Argus Sports Writer
The Jackson Red Devils won
their second basketball game
of the 1972-73 season 85-74 over
Morgan County Saturday
Tiight, while the Devilettes won
their fifteenth consecutive
game in a thrilling 67-60 come
from behind victory over
Morgan County.
The Devils had to come from
behind also to win. They trailed
in the game through the first
three quarters, but they caught
the Morgan County Bulldogs in
the fourth period and went on
to win only their second game
against eighteen losses. The
Devils also had to play through
that big fourth quarter with
four of their five starters fouled
out of the game.
Tommy Stewart scored 19
points to pace the Red Devil
attack. Norman Alexander
came off the bench and played
a fine game scoring 14 points,
and Melvin Walker scored 12
points before fouling out in the
fourth quarter.
It’s beginning to look as if the
Jackson Red Devilettes may
never lose again. They have
already put together one of the
finest seasons of any girl’s
team in the state. The
Devilettes now have a string of
15 consecutive victories dating
back to December 5,1972. They
also have a very impressive
17-3 overall record for the
season. Coach Iwana McGee’s
girls are also undefeated
against sub-region opponents
and have assured themselves
of a berth in the region
tournament.
The victory Saturday night
was probably one of the most
satisfying for the Devilettes. It
proved that they could get up
and fight back after they got
behind. Morgan County con
trolled the game for the first
three periods and carried an
eleven point lead into the final
period, but then the Devilettes.
led by Lynda Head, really
turned it on. The Jackson girls
went on to score 29 points in the
final period and defeat Morgan
County, 67-60.
Lynda Head was the big
difference in the game scoring
28 points, 14 in the fourth
quarter. Doris Green scored 15
points, and Pat McCaleb added
10.
The Devilettes rolled to an
easy 45-23 victory over Harris
County on Friday night. Jannis
Ward was the big scorer for
Jackson with 18 points.
The Devils lost to Harris
County, 68-62. The Devils
played a fine game, but they
failed to stop Harris County’s
Doug Passmore who scored 38
points. Melvin Walker was high
for Jackson with 25.
The Devils and Devilettes
