The Pilot [1937] THE PILOT FOR 1937 PUBLISHED BY Senior Class LEAKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL This Page Sponsored by Floyd Hill Furniture Company FOREWORD With the pubHcation of "The Pilot" by the class of 1937, the Leaksville High School presents its first year-book. This takes the place of the special Senior Edition of the Leaksville News heretofore published at the end of the school year. When the class leaders met to discuss plans for this year's edition of the News, they found a unanimous desire for a more permanent way of keeping the pictures and articles concerning high school days. This book represents an attempt to answer that need. "The Pilot" gives a picture and thumb-nail sketch of each member of the graduating class, and also contains a record of class and school activities. This, then, is our offering — a summary of the four years' work of the class of 1937. We have enjoyed collecting the material for this volume, and now take pleasure in presenting it to you. It is our hope that it may bring pleasure to the class as well as to their many friends. Anne Dillard, Editor. -4 2 This PaKC Sponsored by Mrs. A. S.

Holmes Carl H. Weatherly Superintendent of Public Schools Principal of High School Leaksville High School Building -'4{ 4 This Page Sponsored by Chandler Drug Company THE PILOT HISTORY OF LEAKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL The history of Leaksville High School as a state public institution begins in 1917. It succeeded the former Leaksville-Spray Institute, which had played a very important part in the life of the community since 1905, when it first opened its doors for students. The history of the Leaksville-Spray Institute is a most interesting one. Members of the Leaksville Baptist Church conceived the idea that there ought to be a Baptist secondary school in this part of the state. Just as soon as Bethel Hill Institute burned, of which Reverend J. A. Beam was principal, his service was sought and secured for this school in this community. Work was soon started, and the bviilding began to take shape. This resulted in the construction of two buildings the first year. The Leaksville- Spray Institute opened the fall of 1905 with about a hundred students. Mr. J. A. Beam was in charge, assisted by his wife. He was in charge for four years. Those assisting in teaching were as follows: Professor McComic, in charge of the commercial department; Reverend W. Raleigh White, director in vocal music; Miss Mozelle Stringfield, teacher of instrumental music; Reverend W. E. Goode, assistant principal and teacher of mathe- matics, English, and history; and Miss Maud Woody, primary teacher. During the second year a boys' dormitory was erected. With the increased number of students the school was recognized as one of the leading Baptist schools in the state. A number of students finished the prescribed course and took further training in colleges and seminaries. Many who graduated from the Institute have become prominent in various fields of business and professions. Mr. Beam was followed by Mr. Whitehead, of South Carolina, as principal. He was here for a year and a half. Reverend S. J. Beeker followed Mr. Whitehead. He served for two years and a half. The school was then closed for one year. When it opened in 1914, Mr. C. M. Beach was in charge. He was here from 1914 to 1917, when the buildings were closed permanently as a Baptist school. After the Institute closed, the state and local public school district operated a public high school for the benefit of the community. The Institute buildings were rented for this purpose. Mr. P. H. Gwynn served as superintendent of the schools from .1917 to 1920. Mr. J. Minor Gwynn, his son, served as principal of the high school during the year 1919-1920. Statistics for that year show that there were four graduates. In 1920 Mr. Ralph Sullivan was elected superintendent of the Leaksville Schools and Miss Martha Blakeney (Mrs. L. H. Hodges) was elected principal of the high school. The board continued to rent the buildings where the Leaksville-Spray Institute was formerly conducted. In the spring of 1921 the County Board of Education consolidated all schools in Leaksville Township into one school district. There had been seven districts for white pupils and five districts for negro pupils. Immediately after the consolidation of the school, the people voted a special school tax of 30 cents on the hundred dollar valuation -'^{ 5 .. .. .s^-^ I.i,bTar Hockir This Page Sponsored by Pace-Stone Furniture Company THE PILOT of property. Mr. James E. Holmes, who for two years had been superintendent of the Spray schools, was elected superintendent of the newly consolidated district. Mr. C. H. Weatherly was elected principal of the Leaksville High School. Both men have con- tinuously served in the above named capacity since their election. In 1931 an entirely new school plant was built. This school was built on the site of the old one. It has many improvements over the old. Many new courses are now offered. Among them are, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, home economics, and a full commercial course. Other improvements are, individual lockers, shower and locker rooms, a good gymnasium, a cafeteria, where lunches brought from home may be eaten as well as those bought in the cafeteria. The gymnasium and left wing of the present building are parts of the old Leaksville-Spray Institute, which were joined to the new building. The school no longer is dependent on the janitor to ring the bells. This is attended to by a system of electric clocks, gongs, and bells. In consequence, there is more punctuality and the whole system of order runs smoothly. The school has three excellently equipped science laboratories. The Home Economics suite is a model for any school to copy with pride; and the auditorium, with its bowl floor and excellent stage, is the equal of any. Probably no school in North Carolina has had such a phenomenal growth as Leaks- ville High School. Many of its graduates have gone to college, some of whom have made enviable records in scholarship and athletics. Many of these graduates are today holding responsible positions in the professional and business world.

  • From the Editor
    From the Editor Dear E-mentor readers, We are thrilled to observe that our efforts to publish E-mentor journal in English has met such a great interest. That is the fourth edition of the jour- nal prepared and published within the scope of a grant funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. We do hope to be able to continue the project of issuing the international version of E-mentor in the following years as it has proved to be a success. In the current edition, one may distinguish two main directions of consid- eration. The first one refers to the role of information and communication technologies both in education and in business. The latter reflects the chal- lenges that the logistics industry faces nowadays due to the ‘disruptive’ role of IT. Sensors, robots, automation, cloud computing, data analysis, 3D print- ing, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, digital twins or blockchain technology are the examples of disruption mentioned by the author of the paper. Concerning the university, IT appears in the context of adaptive learning and its advantages analyzed by the team of the authors from the University of Central Florida and the Colorado Technical University, with Professor Charles Dziuban as a leader. IT is also present in the papers concerning foreign language learning by the use of videoconferences, instant messaging apps, and international collaboration tools. The concept of professional development through the online course is another example of using IT for academic purposes. Last but not least, is the proposal of an app aimed at eliminating the accessibility barriers, in this case – in Art education.

DESCRIPTORS *Curriculum Development; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fused Curriculum; *Integrated Curriculum; *Interdisciplinary Approach; Program Effectiveness; Unified Studies Curriculum ABSTRACT This document describes a variety of curriculum integration options ranging from concurrent teaching of related subjects to fusion of curriculum focus to residential study focusing on daily living; from 2-week units to year-long courses. Suggestions are offered for choosing proper criteria for successful curriculum integration, dealing with the attitudes of key individuals and groups; and establishing validity. A step-by-step approach to integration is presented, proceeding from selection of an organizing center to a scope and sequence of guiding questions to a matrix of activities for developing integrated units of study. A distinction is made between curriculum-content and metacurriculum--those learning skills helpful in acquiring the curriculum content being taught and in developing the capacity to think and learn independently. The book illuminates the value of higher-order thinking and learning skills and provides a vehicle for their integration into curriculum.

  • The Influence of Teacher Media Images on Professional Teacher Identities 1 Abstract
    The Influence of Teacher Media Images on Professional Teacher Identities Davina Kirby UCL, Institute of Education PhD 1 Declaration I, Davina Kirby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Word count (exclusive of appendices and references) 91,567 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Gary McCulloch and Doctor Jon Swain who were extremely supportive PhD supervisors over the past six years and, of course, Mr Chips. 3 ABSTRACT This study is a life history exploration into teachers’ responses to representations of teachers in media (television, film and reality documentaries), and the influence media have on the construction of professional teacher identities including teachers’ relationships with their students as part of their daily practice. Few studies have been carried out from the perspective of British teachers using narrative research methods. This research uniquely addresses teachers’ reactions to the reality documentaries that have recently emerged based on teachers and schools, many of which have been located in the UK. The research was conducted in my own school, a girls’ comprehensive secondary school in London, with a mixed sixth form from 2012 to 2014. 17 teachers were interviewed in depth, twice each, concluding with 7 of them for focus group interviews. The research showed that teachers reflect on their professional identity using teacher images in media as a stimulus in their narratives. The research demonstrated evidence of teachers developing their narratives from the start to the end, and some sticking to scripted, although rich, narratives throughout the research.

I’d finally arrived at the end of the trail, in the last place I expected to find him—not deep in the wilderness he was said to haunt, but in the dim lobby of an old hotel on the edge of a dusty desert town.! “Sí, El Caballo está ,” the desk clerk said, nodding. Yes, the Horse is here. “For real?” After hearing that I’d just missed him so many times, in so many bizarre locations, I’d begun to suspect that Caballo Blanco was nothing more than a fairy tale, a local Loch Ness mons-truo dreamed up to spook the kids and fool gullible gringos. “He’s always back by five,” the clerk added. “It’s like a ritual.” I didn’t know whether to hug her in relief or high-five her in triumph. I checked my watch. That meant I’d actually lay eyes on the ghost in less than … hang on. “But it’s already after six.” The clerk shrugged. “Maybe he’s gone away.” I sagged into an ancient sofa. I was filthy, famished, and defeated. I was exhausted, and so were my leads. Some said Caballo Blanco was a fugitive; others heard he was a boxer who’d run off to punish himself after beating a man to death in the ring.
