IS' Ml •a; TW I >U1 Evaluators Praise CHS As ‘One of the Best’ By HARRI BAKER Battalion City Editor A&M Consolidated Elementary School was congratulated by a team of evaluators for being “an above-average school — one of the best.” Making their report at a public meeting yesterday, the eight mem bers of the evaluating committee praised every facet of the school’s operation and made a few recom mendations for improvement. “This is an unusually good school,” said Mrs. Teresa Carrell, consultant from the Texas Educa tion Agency and chairman of the evaluation committee. The committee has been study ing the school for three days. It was divided into sub-committees to cover all the aspects of the first through fifth grades. “The recommendations of the committee will be studied and act ed upon,” said Superintendent L. S. Richardson. “We want this committee to come back in about five years to see how we’ve done.” Heads of each of the sub-com- mittees gave their reports at the meeting yesterday, which was at tended by about 50 people. Reporting* on the children and the teachers of the school, Dr. G. P. Parker of A&M’s education de partment said, “Consolidated’s students are above average, with a good morale and a happy out- V look.” Parker commended the school for supplying first aid equipment, having physical exams, building a new elementary school and cafe teria, allowing the community to use the school facilities, having a faculty with all college degrees, and fostering good relationships between the school and the com munity. He recommended that the school site be increased to at least 23 acres, because “the school popula tion has outgrown the site.” “Good use has been made of available space under the existing conditions, but more space is need ed,” said Jim Moorman, Hemp stead school superintendent. Moor man reported on the school cam pus, plant, equipment, and supplies. Talent Show (Continued from Page 1) mentalists from Dallas and an act by Gail Smalley, Dallas “boop a- doop” singer, who has played in several talent shows at the univer sity. Mary Sue Stramler, “pop” sing er from Houston, will give an act for TCU. Sam Houston State Teachers College will present one act by a five girl Charleston line, consist ing of Polly Ann McCullough, Houston; Carol Reno, Center; Jan et Walters, Galveston; Joanne Ma lone, Huntsville and Elaine Ander son from Alpine. A&M will be represented in the show by Jimmy Harrison, folk singei* from San Antonio, and Er nie Martelino, pianist from Manila, “Tickets for the Intercollegiate Talent Show may be purchased from any Music Committee mem ber,” said Miss Bolander. He said the equipment was ample and its use was “excellent.” He said the visual and audio aids were above average. Moorman, who used to live in College Station, said, “I’ve never seen such a change for the better as the ' one here during ' the last four or five years.” Dr. Robert Jacobs of the A&M Basic Division spoke favorably of the relations between the school, home, and community. He commended the Mothers and Dads Club, the formation of a citizens committee, the community activity of teachers, the utiliza tion of outside professional help, cooperation with city officials, sup port of Cub Scouts, and emphasis on safety programs. The only weak points cited by Jacobs were the lack of planned teacher visits by parents, and the lack of school publicity. Paul Manning, Navasota ele mentary principal, recommended that the principals be relieved of their teaching duties, in order to be able to spend more time on ad ministration. “The administration has done SPEAKS FRIDAY —Dr. Ralph W.
