Dallas Chamber Executive
Manager of the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce Gordon A.
Rose gave an Informative talk to Joshua citizens Tuesday night as
their organizational meeting was held. Enthusiastic committees, a
realistic program of work, and good leadership are key elements to
a new chamber’s formation, he said.
Program will
educalc pre-
schoolers
A program to help patents
raise and educate their pre-
school children will be conduc-
ted by the Huguley Hospital
Nursing Administration.
The program is entitled “Sur-
en ing Your Child (For Parents of
I’t c-Schoolers)." Five pro-
lessional faculty members horn
the hospital's nursing adminis-
tration will conduct five dillerent
meetings on the subject lor live
consecutive weeks in October.
The series oi meetings has been
designed to provide parents with
knowledge lot determining if the
child is sick, methods of child-
proofing the home, and em-
ergency treatment.
Guidelines will also be given
on how to select a Day Care Cen-
ter, and methods of positive dis-
cipling. Titles of some of the
sessions include: "A Hard Pill to
Swallow (Medications for the 111
Child)," “You'll Eat Those Beans
II You Have To Sit Here All Day,"
and "More Than Just A Snil-
fle."
The classes will be held on
Thursdays, Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, and
31. Each class is from 7-9 p.m. in
the Huguley Health Fitness Cen-
ter. The lee is $25 for all five
sessions. Free parking is avail-
able To register, call 551-2740.

days to prevent distractions for
the students being tested,” said
•Ford. Tests will be mailed from
BUS to the TEA for computer
grading, said Ford, and an es-
timated length ot time for results
returned to the district is three to
four weeks. “There is a max-
imum ol six weeks wait for the
results,” commented Ford, which
gives the students who lail more
time in the remedial help pro-
gram in preparation for the
next test.
The exact guidelines for such
interim programs have not as yet
been worked out, said Ford, but
might be set up in one of several
ways. "We could incorporate the
remedial help with the present
tutorial program now underway
or it might be set up with the
community education program,"
he explained, pointing out that a
definite structure for that pro-
gram will be established before
need lor it
Assistant Superintendent ol
Schools Boh Spurlin said other
options for the remedial help lor
those failing the test are possible
within the high school program
itself, hut that a dclci initiation ol
the most feasible way to set it up
can’t be made until the number
ol students who will need the
program are known alter the
first lest results are returned
THE HELP COULD con-
ceivably be ollered through
scheduling changes at mid term
lor students allecled or by incoi-
porating a t) period class (7 a.nr)
lor the student, he said.
Faking a hypothetical situation
of a seniot who had completed
the required amount of credits
for graduation, but who had not
passed the TEAMS test, Spurlin
said that student would have one
of two options. He could con-
tinue in school the following
year, taking a full load of classes
(legal if under 21 years old), or
he could not opt to register for
school and still return the next
October to lake the TEAMS
test again.
The re-take on the test is only
required for the segment which
did not receive a passing grade; if
a student passed the language
arts portion of the test but fails
the math, only the math three-
hours of testing will have to be
re-taken, said Ford.
ONE THING THAT IS definite
is that a high scho'ol diploma will
not be earned bv any senior who
has not passed the TEAMS ex-
amination. "The test is new this
year, and we want parents to un-
derstand how important is it,"
said Ford. Overall district results
will be published when they are
returned to the district, said
Ford, and parents will receive in-
dividual letters staling whether
their children passed or failed.
Special education students will
be affected to a very limited de-
gree. said Ford. Individual
reviews ol each special ed stu-
dent will be done by a local ARD
(Admission-Review-Dismiss) Co-
mmittee, determining whether
segments ol the testing will be re-
quired ol them. "In most cases, it
will not be required," said
Ford.
Calling For
Volunteers
Dickens hated scarves
British author Charles Dickens
asked that those who came to his
funeral “wear no scarf, cloak,
black bow, long hatband, or other
such revolting absurdity."
Daiquiri a town, too
The daiquiri cocktail, made of
rum, sugar and lime or lemon, got
its name from the eastern Cuba
village of Daiquiri, source of the
rum first used in this drink.
JISD Superintendent of Schools Charles Greenawalt (I) and Roland
Waldon, Joshua bank president, called for volunteers to serve on
the nominating committee for Joshua’s soon-to-be-formed cham-
ber of commerce directors.
