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.

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."
