Each May students have the option of taking an AP exam in their respective course of study. Every examination receives an overall grade on a five-point scale: 5 (extremely well qualified), 4 (well qualified), 3 (qualified), 2 (possibly qualified), and 1 (no recommendation).

Libraries planning to use new database The public libraries in Centerville, Perry and Warner Robins are all busily entering their collections into a database for use as the card catalog and circulation check-out system. These systems were made possible with the lottery money distributed by the State of Georgia to libraries and school systems. While the staffs of each of the libraries are very excited about the end result, the task itself is overwhelming. If you can type and are not intimidated by a computer, the libraries could certainly use some help. Even if you cannot type, but have some spare time to put on bar codes and labels, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please call Centerville, 953-4500, Perry, 987- 3050, or Warner Robins at 923- 0128 and set up a volunteer time. Thank you for any help you can give us!

WAYNE MOflfllS 341 Just North of I-75 Wednesday, September 21,1994, Houston Times -Journal - Young people need to be encouraged about school You’ve heard it many times, so often that you probably don’t even think about it any more. It’s late August, and the morning disc jockey wakes you up saying, “Too bad, kids! The summer is over, and you’ve got to go to school today !” The same thing happens when the threatened snow storm blows over, leaving the roads and bridges clear. And perhaps you’ve said it to your neighbor’s children - or your own! Is it any wonder that kids get the message that they are not supposed to like school? That there is something un-American about them if they do? That their purpose in going to school is to do as little as possible and wait for the bell to ring? We need to encourage our young people in their school work, not drag them down. And we need to express our appreciation to the adults who give themselves to the guidance of these young people. In our community we have quality education available from both public and private schools, and that is good. Jan and I have always believed strongly in the work of the public schools. Houston County schools were a strong attraction when we moved to Warner Robins in 1990, and when we accepted our re-assignment to Perry three years later. I personally believe that no group of adults is doing more to create the America of tomorrow than are those adults who are working in the public schools of today. But we need to express our support for adults and young persons in both systems. None of us is helped by shoddy workmanship - all of us benefit when teaching and learning are effective and enjoyable enough to become life-long habits.

Some even tell you that we serve God best when we use our minds least. I think that is a strange theology. I come from a tradition that values the trained mind as well as the warm heart. One of John Wesley’s preachers once told him, “I have no taste for reading.” Wesley asked him where he found his texts for preaching. When die preacher said God gave him his texts, Wesley asked, “Did God ever give you a text that you had never read ?” Of course the answer was no, so Wesley told him to develop a taste for reading or find something else to do! At the very least, I am convinced that die belter we use the minds He gave us, die more we honor Him. God takes no delight in sloppy workmanship, whether it is work of die hands or of the mind. I do not mean that everyone must be a genius, any more than 1 would say that everyone must be a master craftsman. But each of us is allied to do the best job we can of using the gifts God has given us. When teachers and students do their work well, diey help us all offer our sacrifice of praise to God.
