1988-89 school year with 827
students and the current
enrollment is down to about
800, Catrett said. Of the initial
total, 177 were seniors, 190
were juniors, 220 were
sophomores and 240 were
freshmen. About half the
freshmen are enrolled in college
preparatc;r({ courses, the prin
cipal noted, but by the time
they graduate, only around 20
to 25 percent will still be enroll
ed in college prep classes.
CHS o?firs general, voca
tional and college prep
diplomas, he said.
Some 20 to 25 CHS
students are currently enrolled
in its advanced placement
courses which will enable them
to earn as much as 20 to 25
hours college credit before they
enroll in a college or universi
ty, he continued.
OFFERINGS
The high school has ‘‘so
much” to offer its students,
Catrett said, “‘that I'm amaz
ed that we have as many
dropouts as we have.” The
vocational program, for exam
ple, offers construction trades,
auto mechanics, metal fabrica
tion and business education, he
noted.
“Why would anyone want
to drop out of a program where
4 there's so much there for you?':
~ he asked.
The Chattooga system as a
whole has the highest dropout
rate in Georgia.
ACTIVITIES
Catrett praised the school’s
extracurricular activities and
noted that the CHS band had
won best in show and best in
class in three consecutive band
shows recently. The girl's
basketball team won the state
cham ionshiE early this year
and tge baseball team also did
well, the principal added. It has
also done well in literary meets.
Area residents may take u
to five college courses at CHg
at night, sponsored by Shorter
College, Rome, and the school,
he said.
The high dropout rate may
be attributed to several fac
tors, Catrett indicated, in
cluding the long distances that
many students are bused, and
many industrial firms don'’t re
quire that youngsters have
high school diplomas before
they start to work. He said
some students arrive at school
prior to 7 a.m. and have to sit
in the cafeteria for an hour and
15 minutes before classes start.
SIX PERIODS
CHS has initiated six
55-minute classes daily, an on
track homeroom program and
an in-school su?ension pro
gram supervised by a new
assistant principal, Catrett
said.
The Chattooga Board of
Education wants the finest
high school in Georgia, he
asserted.
Meanwhile, Alan ‘‘Butch”
Eleam won Roger the Rabbit
this week in the Rotary Club’s
memebership contest. Two new
members were also inducted,
Dan Sweitzer and Tom Muia.

ed water bills. The Council
voted unanimously to purchase
a Georgia Municipal
Association-approved com
uter with software dersigned
?or small communities, The
cost of the computer is $7,500
with $2,500 in firant money.
The computer will be in opera
tion when Menlo's sewer
system goes on line.
WATER BILL
Lynn Hall who appeared
before the Council at its last
meeting over concern for a
large water bill agree to pa
one-half of the disputed bifl
with Menlo absorbing the re
mainder of the disputed bill.
Apparently Hall received in
one month a very low water bill
although he was using city
water for a sprinkler system in
his pig barn.
’f"he next bill he received in
cluded the cost of what had
mistakenli; been left off the
first month’s bill, the city said.
Hall told the Council members
that they should have notified
him that he was using such a
great deal of water.
Hall said before the com
?romise was reached that he
elt that he was ‘‘getting a
S2OO fine.”” Mr. Hall reported
ly used 345,500 gallons of
water for his home, a pig barn
and a trailer.
SEWER SYSTEM
The Menlo Council agreed
that before homeowners may
tie into the sewer system, the
connecting line must be in
zpected by city employees. Ad
itionally, a notice included
with Menlo water bills will
state that the city must be
notified before any diggi? for
construction purposes is done.
This is an effort to avoid
broken gas, water and sewer
lines.
A list of streets to be sub
mitted to the state for repav
ing was agreed l:ipon. This list
is made in an order of priority
considering the number of
homes on t%le street as well as
the amount of traffic. The first
three priority streets are
Edison (Highway 48 to bridge)
Bell (Highway 48 to 11th) and
South 6th to its end.
OPEN HOUSE
The Menlo Council received
a letter inviting it to the Chat
tooga Library (();pen house
which is on Dec. 6 at 10 a.m.
Council members will be
honored at that time.
