Parents, mark your calen-
k dara. Thursday, August 27, Is
Orientation Day at Silsbee
High School. The program
i especially geared to acquaint
Mom and Did with opportuni-
ties, as well as rules and
regulations which govern aca-
demic progress, gets underway
at 7:00 p.m. in the High School
cafeteria. It is aimed primarily
at freshmen parents. However,
parents of upperclassmen and
other interested adults are
assured a warm welcome.
Principal Herbert C. Muckel-
roy emphasizes that students
will receive their own orienta-
tion during the initial week of
school; His experience as an
administrator continually un-
derscores the importance of
parental involvement in the
educational process. He feels
strongly the time is ripe to
launch such an experimental
program as this. If high school
is a preview to life, school and
hbme must cooperate from
ninth grade- through gradua-
tion; Calling it a venture in
public relations, Muckelroy has
assembled a first rate team to
lead the evenings discussion.
Jim Lang, newly named
Director of Curriculum, will be
present to answer questions
and explain the concept of
leveling. As strong academic
courses (Math, Science, Eng-
lish, History) are beefed up to.
enable dedicated students to
enlist in college honors pro-
grams, the grading system has
necessarily been revised. A
student can no longer be
labeled simply college bound or
vocational, for several tracks
are presently open to him.

explain other areas of interest
to parents. The testing pro-
gram will be covered in detail
and recent TABS scores (Texas
Assessment of Basic Skills) will
be frankly analyzed.
School policy regarding dis-
cipline will, be discussed at
length. Those in attendance
will hear it from the “horse's
mouth” with no youthful shad-
ing of the fine print. Herbert
Muckelroy realizes administra-
tors and parents must co-
operate fully to maintain in-
tegrity within the classroom.
As he sees it, countless nagging
problems could be eliminated if
better understanding were fos-
tered.
During the evening all extra
curricular activities - sports,
band, choir, clubs, and publica-
tions - will be summarized. The
cost of participation in both
dollars and hours will be
honestly assessed. Proper
study habits and reasonable
study requirements for various
courses will likewise be dis-
cussed.
“If we do a good job, those
who attend should leave know-
ing what Silsbee High School’s
all about,” Muckelroy states.
He feels the town has every
right to take pride in its
secondary school. "Every year
we try to do a better job than
last.” He’s not denying there
are areas of grave concern.
The language department
has shrunk to merely one or
two French classes. With few
colleges presently requiring
credits in a foreign language,
the students simply dis-
appeared. They would sign up
in droves, however, for wood-
working and mechanical draw-
ing classes. Unfortunately in-
dustry quickly gobbles up
qualified instructors. Silsbee
has searched diligently to no
avail. State requirements for-
bid utilizing the expertise of
senior citizens or volunteers
not properly certified. Aside
from the student - work pro-
gram, Silsbee High currently
offers little more than basic
business courses to enable a
graduate to immediately enter
the job market. Enough know-
. ledgable and concerned tax-
payers could have a positive
impact on such problem areas.
The school plant, including
the newly decorated Home
Economics Department, will be
open for touring. During the
break, refreshments will be
served. Administrators are
hoping for a strong turnout and
some indication that additional
efforts fostering cooperation
and understanding might be
welcomed.
A word of caution to the
parent with a private concern

Highlights...
(Continued From Sec. I.Fogel)
prospective political candi-
dates to lay their plans on
the table, and some indica-
tions are already in.
Secretary of State George
Strake, a Houston oil man,
said he plans to run for
lieutenant governor against
incumbent Bill Hobby.
Hobby will seek re-election
and has already knocked the
dust off his organization.
Strake’s election would
give Republicans a lock on
the top two state offices, if
Clements were re-elected.
Running for Agriculture
Commissioner will probably
be Rep. Pete Laney of Hale
Center, a close associate of
Clayton’s. Incumbent Rea-
gan Brown will probably
also be challenged by Jim
Hightower, who lost a Rail-
road Commission race two
years ago.
Dallas Republican Con-
gressman Jim Collins will
try to unseat U.S. Senator
Lloyd Bentsen, and former
Dallas quarterback Roger
Staubach has squelched all
rumors he will run.
Still unannounced are the
plans of Clayton, who up to
now was thought to be
eyeing the Land Commis-
sioner's race against an-
nounced candidate Garry
Mauro.
Clayton said he will come
forth in four or five
weeks, and his delay has set
many to wondering if he
really plans to seek another
office, perhaps the State
Comptroller seat now held
by Bullock.
Record Stingray Caught
In Galveston Boy
AUSTIN-A 213-pound
southern stingray caught from
Galveston bay on May 28 has
