Educatio n Requ iresM ore Than ThreeR 'sStrange it is that high school students know so little about the place

where they spend one fourth of every school day. Few students areeven the least bit cur ious about this outstanding part of their lives.One of the areas where students an: most outspoken and least knew-

ledgeahle is rules. The rules and regulat ions at Lasseter come from fourdifferent sources. Some of them, such as privileges given to seniors. arcmade bv our principal, Miss Henry. A large number ofby the' Bibb County Board o f Public Education. These incluedregulations as the time the school day opens and doses. The StateBoard of Education also sets many standards; for example, they decidethe number of school days in a year. Finally, some restrictions, such asno use of candy machines during scnoot hours, come from the federallevel, Because of this organization, students should make sure theyprotest to the right person when they have an objection to a ruleVery little is known among youth about the Bibb County Board of

Public Education. Our Board is made lip of 12 members and the Coun-ty Commissioner and Mayor of Macon. The Board has scheduled meet-ings monthly and culled meenngs whenever needed.Officers elected by the Goard He ptesident , vice-president, secretary,

t reasurer, and superlntendent . The superintendent , Dr. Julius Gholson,has charge of carrying OUtthe administrative duties of the BoardMuch of the work of the Boord is done committees. Standing

committees include curriculum and rules and regulations.transportation, and eight others. The members are ap-pointed by the president of the Board, at present Dr. W. Earl LewisAnother important pari o r education that students fail to under-

stand is where the money comes from. Below is a chart ehow ing whereBibb Ccumy got the school dollar for J 96R-I969:

G u e s t E d i t o r i a lBibb County ProgressesToward School Changes

by Allan GlUk~"Editor's Note: Allan Gurley, Associate Superintendent of Bihb CountySchools, received his clUly education ill hls-narivc town of Dahlonega,Georgia. He earned his B. S, hom North Georgia College in Dahlonega;

his M. A .. from George Peabody College for Teachersin Nashville, Tennessee; and the Specialist in Educa-tion degree f)'OIIl the University of Georgia in Athens.Mr, Gurley has had 18 years experience in the field ofeducation as a ctassroom teacher, principal, curricu-tum director. and esstsrene supermtendent. He ismarried to Lasseter's Mrs.leanette Gurley.Coeducation, military, changes in course of study.

the sea- .is of non-coeducation in some of our high schools.naue is being prepared by the 'Board (If Educationand teachers to express themselves concerning this issue. You will rc-ccivc a copy of this questionnaire in the very near future.Another area that is being studied is vocational cuucanonal oppur

tunities for all students in Bibb About 51 of ourgraduates enter college, leaving 49 who begin immediate-Iy or continue education with some other type training not available inthe various colleges. This factor strengthens the concept or the compre-hensive high schoool andjor the high school complex.Also under consideration is the area of military training inour high

schools. ntis will require extensive study as tnc program relates to , 'Illofthe students in Bibb County. It must also be realized that many iJJ the.decisicns that will affect the organizational structure of the Bibb COlW-ty School System will be affected by the Federal COIlIt Order whichdeals with dcscgrcgation o C our school system.The problems are complex (0 ~ay the least; but with proper com-

A L o o k a t B o o k sG e o r g i a n W r i t e sA b o u t C h r i s tm a s"Christmas in Georgia"

and"Especially at Christmas"

by Celestine SibleyChristmas is a time for giving, for loftynotions, and for great deeds. Such is themessage or Celestine Sibley in her "Christ-mas .in Georgia" and "Especially at Christ-mas," the Jatter being released this year.Both books arc a collection of stories-one of fiction and one of the author's re-collections."Christmas in Georgia," the hook of fic-tion. contains five stories that range in timefrom the Revolution to the present. All rhosettings are in Georgia, and in all thestories, the Christmas happenings are some-how related SOthat they change the lives ofeveryone involved."Especially at Christmas," is composedof Miss Sibley's rememberances of peopleat Christmas, all of whom have great virtue.Although these are true accounts, they arewritten so Iaultlessly, that some charactersseem to be too virtuous and too perfect tobe reached by ordinary people."Christmas in Georgia," is warmer andmore entertaining. Because each story isnot just like the one before it, the readercan appreciate each story for itself. Also,the readers' identification with the storiesprogresses the book's aim - to inspire.In these two hooks, the variety is thevirtue.

What Is Courtesy?Courtesy means doing nice things whenyou don't have to. For example, courtesy issaying "good morning" to teachers whenyou meet them in the hall .Being courteous includes gathering upyour trash before you go to put up yourtray (so other people won't have to wait inline behind YOu), going out the right doorsfrom the lunchroom, and being quiet in thehalls during classtime. Asking your parentsto drive lip to the corner of the buildingbefore letting you out of the in themornings so that others can behindto let. their daughters out isSometimes courtesy meansthings that are convenient to you.walking fast behind people who walkly up the steps, not talking during all-nouncements on the intercom, and notwriting your boyfriend's name on desks arealso ways of being courteous.
