with the murder of a Dialville man.
J. T. Hall, 64, of Dialville (Route

relatives. The rnan was apparently
beaten to death, according to
Sheriff Allen Horton.
Horton says the incident is
believed to have occurred Friday

Hall was apparently beaten with
several items from the home. The
house was ransacked and items
torn up and piled on the floor.
Several items were taken.
Hall lived alone and had no
vehicle. A car, believed stolen by
the suspect, was left in Athens.
The body has been shipped to
Dallas for an autopsy.
Funeral arrangements for Hall
are pending at Thompson Funeral
Home in Jacksonville.
Hall was a lifetime resident of the
Jacksonville area, was a former
employee of the Halbert Mill at
Dailaville, was a veteran of World
War II and a member of the Baptist
church.
He is survived by one son, John F.

daughter, Mrs. Sandra J. Beck of
Jacksonville; a sister-in-law, Mrs.
Florida Hall of Fort Worth; two
grandchildren, John Hall and
Patricia Hall of Breckenridge; and
two nieces.
—About OUR Schools—
By SUPT. JOHN COOK
Parents are always welcome lo
visit our schools at anytime. Many
parents find it difficult to come to
school during regular school hours
to confer with a child’s teacher. We
hope by having this conference at
night, more parents can come.
This night should not be confused
with Open House, although we
would like to invite you to see our
new elementary classrooms.
This year we are continuing our
schools’ efforts to keep you infor-
med about your child’s progress.
This conference will give you the
opportunity to learn more about the
school and the new requirements,
discuss any part of the discipline
management procedures and rules
for the individiual classrooms and
discuss your child's strengths and
weaknesses in various areas. Most
importantly, it will give parents an
opportunity to get to know' the
teachers
We will learn things from you that
will help us help your child. This
conference is a chance for you to
ask questions about your child s
needs. We want to work with you
and you with us.

How can you prepare for the con-
ference? Make a list of things that
will help the teacher to understand
your child better. For example:
hobbies or other interests outside of
school, health needs or problems,
and the child’s feelings about the
class and school in general.
Also, make a list of the things you
would like to know. For example,
homework policy; classroom rules;
grading policy; daily schedules;;,
coursework expectations; and ser-
vices and programs the school
fersfor your child.
After the conference you will
have a better understanding of your
child’s school experience. You will
know more about his/her strengths
and weakness, special abilities and
current performance. Involve your
child in this conference as much as
possible by discussing it before and
after the conference. Everyone
benefits from a good parent-teacher
conference. The educators at Alto
Schools look forward to seeing and
talking to you. We are working to
make this conference meaningful to
you.
Thank you in advance for helping
us help you and your child.
