Juvenile Delinquency
On Rise In Area
"If parents
always knew where their children were there
would be no juvenile delinquency", said
speaker Ben Griffin at the last PTA meeting,
January 27,
With this statement,
and many examples to back it, Mr. Griffin was
able to convince the large gathering of teachers
and parents that juvenile delinquency actually
is caused by juvenile parents - parents who
are so busy, or so indifferent to their children's
activities, that they create the home situation
which breeds this rapidly increasing modern
problem.
Juvenile delinquency
is rising in Orange County with the great influx
of new people into the area. Mr. Griffin urged
that more be done to create recreational opportunities
for the children. Also, that church members
should encourage new people to affiliate with
some church.

| Students To
Confer On Test Scores
The results from
the Iowa Test of Educational Development given
to the ninth grade last fall will be made to
individual students in the near future.
The scores, presented
in percentile, compare each student with the
norm in all of Florida and the United States.
Students will
be called in to the dean's offices for private
conferences, in which their scholastic weaknesses
will be pointed out and means of correction
suggested. In this way students will know which
subjects should demand their greatest attention
if they are to correct these weaknesses before
a similar test is given in12th grade. The twelfth
grade test is a determining factor in college
entrance.
Conduct Is Topic At Special
Assembly
Conduct was the
subject of a specially called assembly on January
23.
"Behavior
should not have to be controlled by too many
rules", said Mr. Stockard, Glenridge's
principal. "But, if destruction to school
property continues it may be necessary to institute
many more rules at Glenridge."
"We, at Glenridge,
have always been proud of our fine reputation.
It would be unfortunate if a few who have not
caught the fine spirit of this school were allowed
to tear down what many have built up." |
