ROTARIAN ED SURLES (L) WINS ROGER RABBIT FOR A WEEK
Membership Drive Chairmen Henry Watson (C), Bill Baisley Grin
‘Roger Rabbit’ Spurs
Rotary Member Program
Roger Rabbit can’t multip
ly but he can add.
Since Roger is a ‘“‘he,” it's
not likely that a lot of little
Rogers or Rogerettes will be
flipping their long ears at
members of the Summerville-
Trion Rotary Club but he'll be
adding up the bucks if he finds
himself unwanted or is
mistreated. e
Confusing? It still is for
most Rotarians except Sum
merville attorney EcF Surles,
who Monday ended up with
Roger for an entire week — un
til next Monday’'s Rotary
meeting.
ROGER REAL
Roger is a real rabbit, not a
cartoon character, and the

shennanigans with Roger all
have to do with a membership
drive being sponsored by the
Rotary Club.
The Summerville-Trion
Club has also challenged the
LaFayette Club to sign up
more new members than the
Chattooga club. The losing
club will have to prepare pinto
beans and corngread for its
members and juicy steaks for
the winning club. Goal for the
Summervil%e-’l‘rion Club is 10
new members.
Roger is just a little extra
incentive for members of the
Summerville-Trion Club to at
tend every meeting and to
bring bonafide prospective
members to the weekYy club
meetings. Theme of the drive is
LPfut Life Into Rotary . .. Your
ife.
“WINNER”
If a member doesn’t attend
every meeting, his name goes
inte a box twice. If he faifi; to
brin%a prospective member to
a club meeting once a quarter,
his name goes in the pot. One
name wilfi)e drawn out of the
box each week and the ‘‘win
ner’’ will have to care for Roger
during the coming week. If
Roger is ‘‘forgotten’” and not
brought back, the Rotarian
resgonsible will have to pay the
club a $25 fine. If Roger is
harmed, a SSO fine will be
assessed.
The membership drive gim
mick is the idea o? Rotarians
Bill Baisley and Henry Wat
son, who took a great deal of
glee in handing I%gger Rabbit
over to Surles shortly after
lunch Monday.
SMALL CAGE
Surles, who didn't seem
{)articularly overjoyed about
he prospects of housing Roger
for the next week, noted that
it was unkind that an animal
such as Roger had to be hous
ed in such a small cage.
Watson and Baisley
pointed out that Roger re
quires expensive rabbit food
and that he isn't interested in
lettuce or cabbage leaves. His
water must also be kept fresh
and the cedar shavings
underneath his cage have to Ee
replaced on a regular basis,
they said.
If a member doesn’t want
to keep Roger for a week, he
can be housed if the Rotarian
forks over $25 for a boarding
fee, the membership co
chairmen said: =
And if all members bring a
prospective member during the
quarter, then Will Hair, Rotary
vice aresident, will have to
kee({) oger for a week, Baisley
told a surprised Hair.

Dropout Grants Not Approved
Chattooga Plan Rejected; Federal Funds Go To Other Systems
Chattooga County, which
has the highest schoof,dropout
rate in Georgia, lost out in its
bid to obtain two major
separate federal grants to com
bat the problem.
Instead, one of the grants
went to Oglethorpe County,
which has a si%?ificantl lower
rate than the Cha{tooga
system, according to figures
compiled by the State Depart
ment of Ecrucation. Failure to
obtain the grants means the
system won't have a full-time
stay-in-school coordinator this
year.
DISAPPOINTED
Don Hayes, Chattooga
school superintendent, express
ed disappointment that the
county system failed to obtain
either of the grants. The
system had applied in
de(fendently for a $170,000
federal grant. It would have
funded a full-time stay-in
school coordinator’s position,
counselors for Summerville
Middle School and North Sum
merville Elementary School
and a full-time coordinator for
an in-school suspension
pro%ram.
hat grant would have pro
vided ‘‘personnel to get leader
ship for a real strong effort on
the dropout problem,” said
Will Hair after the grant pro
posal had been submitted. I?Ialr
is vocational supervisor at
Chattoo§a High School and
author of the grant application.
LOCAL RATE
The Chattooga system has
had a dropout rate of 11.9 per
cent in grades eight througg 12
for the past two school terms
and a rate of 4.2 percent in
kindergarten through the 12th
grade for the 1986-87 term.
Oglethorpe County, which
received the $170,000 grant,
had a dropout rate of 8.4 l;:er
cent in grades eight through 12
and a rate of 2.8 percent in
kindergarten throubgh the 12th
grade during 1986-87, accor
din% to state figures.
hattooga and 11 other
Georgia school systems had
also :f)plied for $579,000 in
federal funds to fight the
dropout problem. Hz(iiyes said
the county system and the con
sortium fafie'ad to obtain the
grant.
ALL OR NONE
Mike Baker of the Bureau
of Educational Services,
University of Georgia, said
both grants were to come
throug%xr the School Dropout
Demonstration Program. “It’s
an all or nothing proposition,”
he said in late August. “You
éet the grant or you don’t.”
hattooga didn’t. G
If the consortium grant had
been obtained, different com
ponents of a stay-in-school pro
gram would have been funded
in each of the 11 systems.
$ o, It's not like ecuttin
pieces of the pie,” Baker saig
in August. The components in
clude early identigcation of
potential dropouts, tracking
students who are habitually ab
sent, developing an alternative
curriculum ang developing a
‘‘positive self concept’” in
troubled students, Baker said.
If either of the grants had
been approved, the Chattooga }
Board of Education wou%d
have had to pay such items as
dized test. According to a sum
mary of the curriculum, ‘it
develops perceptual, cognitive
and language skills and it
builds positive self-concepts
and attitudes toward school.”
Locally, the program will be
used at Pennville School and
Summerville Elementary.

earlier.
ARC GRANT
The system already has
received a $12,500 matching
firant from the Appalachian
egional Commission (ARC)
for the current school year to
finance continuation of the
homework hotline (see related
story) and a systemwide
tutorial program. The ARC
earlier this month also approv

Dropout
Meeting
Oct. 11
The superintendent of the
Chattooga County school
system and other local school
officials plan a “brainstorming
meeting” in Atlanta on Tues
day, Oct. 11, to discuss poten
tial funding sources for
droßout programs. .
on Hayes said he and
Tom Keating of the Atlanta Ci
ty school system discussed the
concept be¥ore efforts by a con
sortium of Georgia systems to
obtain a $579,000 federal grant
failed this month.
Local school officials from
around the state will meet to
pool their ideas on how to ob
tain funds for different stay-in
school programs, Hayes said.
For example, one of those at
tending may have knowledge
of a funding source that wou%d
allow a system to employ
elementary or middle scfiool
icounselors, Hayes said.
More emphasis is being
placed on the dropout problem
in Georgia and nationwide and
many systems are competing
for available funds to finance
various stay-in-school con
cepts. Hayes said the informal
pooling of ideas and informa
tion should help each system
approach the problem more ef
fectively during the coming
months and years.
