Last Friday we had the first halves of our English exams and history exams. Mon day we took the first halves of our math exams and science ex ams. The second halves of Eng lish exams and history exams were taken Tuesday, and the last halves of math exams and science exams were taken Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday the first and last halves of exams concern ing foreign languages and com mercial subjects will be given. Although this schedule seems somewhat stringent, after the holidays majority of the students will be relieved that they have finished their exams. All of the hoomrooms are col lecting goods for their baskets for the needy. On Dec. 19, these baskets will be distributed to needy families. Now that the holiday season has so quickly approached, the halls of CHS are filled with love ly, glittering decorations. As one enters the front door of Clinton High, he is greeted by a glit tering Christmas tree under which are many mysterious pack ages. Several homerooms have decorated their doors, and the of fice assistants have attractively adorned the office with snowmen and a snowy “MerryChristmas,* sprayed across the big window. I certainly hope that Santa will remember these industrious stu dents who have used their talents to bring Christmas cheer to Clin ton High School. Please Finish Raking Leaves Please finish raking your leaves. Street Dept. Supt. Eddie Mc Gee said he would like for his crewmen to complete their leaves collection work by the first of the year. He said, “We would appre ciate the cooperation of the citi zens. We have other projects which need attention and we’d like to complete gathering leaves as soon as possible.* James P. Sloan, Mrs. Young Given Ersldne Awards James P. Sloan, of this city, received an award Saturday morning at the Erskine College Alumni Association meeting in recognition of 95 percent parti cipation of the Clinton-Laurens Chapter in the 1969 Erskine College Living Endowment Cam paign. Mr. Sloan had served as chairman of the Laurens County campaign. The award, a sketch by Art Professor Felix Bauer of the main building on the men’s cam pus, was one of 13 presented to alumni chapters in recognition of successful drives. The overall campaign has resulted in pledges totaling $161,418. Mrs. Georgia Y. Young, chair man of the Clinton campaign, was presented a similar award for her part in the 95 percent participation of Clinton area a- lumni. Children's Art Exhibit Slated A Children’s Art Exhibit, fea turing the works of Clinton young sters in grades one through seven, will be on display in the Douglas House at Presbyterian College next Monday and Tues day. The paintings and drawings are by children taught during the first semester by Miss Gladys Kay Lewis of Joanna, an advanced art student at PC. The project was under the supervision of Mrs. Alta Alberga, instructor in art. The exhibit will be open to the public during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parents are requested to accompany children visiting the display area. 4-A—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Dec. 18, 1969 Suddeth's Letter (Cont from page 1) tional 3/4 providing all of the utility profits. (9) The two year election method of our mayor and coun- cilmen should be change. The mayor and councilmen should be elected for four year terms with the provision of a rotation system. Thus the mayor and three councilmen should be elect ed at one election for four year terms, then in two years the additional three councilmen should be elected for four year terms. This rotation system would provide the city with at least three old members at all times on city council. Also the requirement of a coun cilman living in a particular ward should be changed. There should be six council seats numbered one through six. Any qualified citizen of our city should be able to run for any section of his choice (one through six). This would give the citizen of Clinton a greater choice in men to hold these council seats. Small wards and large wards would have equal representation. All six council- men would be voted on by all city voters. Each elected councilman would certainly represent each citizen of Clinton. (10) The City of Clinton has grown over the years and will continue to grow. The city bud get for the past several years has run over the million dol lar figure for each year. Plan ning for all city growth, im provements and policys must be done years ahead along with daily maintinance and operational dut ies each day. Many additional federal projects, federal aid, state and highway projects and etc. can be obtained by planning ahead. All this takes time for the mayor of Clinton. The mayor will have to put more and more time into the business of our city each month if our city is to operate and grow in the proper manor. This elected official must be paid for the time and work he puts into this million dollar business. A complete study should be made at once to determine if a full time city manager is needed to provide proper operation and help to our mayor in the operation of our city or should the mayor be required to spend more of his time to provide this service. A Vote Of Praise - The Great er Clinton Planning Commission has given the City of Clinton a most honorable and valuable ser vice since it was created ap proximately three years ago. The future of our City greatly depends on the service of this Com mission. Each citizen is proud that the City Council has worked with this group and hopes it will continue to work hand in hand with the Planning Commission. Council should depend more each year on the recommendations of this Commission and should cmi- tinue to ask them for reports and studies on all city needs and problems. Through the combined efforts of Clinton City Council, the Greater Clinton Planning Com mission and the Clinton Chamber of Commerce our city will con tinue to have orderly growth and continue to be a well balanced industrial and institutional city. Each citizen will have many rea sons to be proud of our City of Clinton. B. Noland Suddeth Tri-Hi-Y Dance The Tri-Hi-Y will sponsor a dance this Monday night, Dec. 22, at the YMCA.
