Dag Leaves Geneva ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) MIDDLETOWN (Special) -Middletown High school students starting in 1961 will have to meet additional study requirements to graduate. The city district Board of Education voted an 18-credit requirement Tuesday night to replace the present ID units. The board also took steps to start an accelerated course for exceptional students in the ele-mentry grades. The appointments of two new teachers and a custodian were also approved. More information is to be furnished before the board acts on a request to allow the Gideon Society to distribute Bibles to school children.

School Superintendent Edward Fillback told the board that a faculty study committee has been reviewing graduation requirements as a result of the adoption a few years ago of a 5-subject couse of study. Students Easing Off The committee found that most students entering their senior year are wiuun one or two creaus of graduation under the present1 16-unit requirements. The committee found that there has been an easing of efforts by some seniors because of this. The 18-unit requirement will force a senior to pass at least three subjects in his final year. The board also voted a full credit for typing, currently a half-credit subject Accelerated Program Under the accelerated course plan for the pupils entering the seventh grade in the fall, a group of 22, who have been found to be mature and capable, are being tested for the special pro-: gram.

Supt. Fillback said the group finally selected will be less than the number being tested. During the seventh grade, the snecial group will take seventh and eight grade English and math ematics and in the eighth will study freshman courses in these subjects. Thev will continue their other subjects in regular classes and will not graduate ahead of schedule. However in high school they will start sophomore mathematics and English and before graduat ing can add two more clectivcs to their course.

Music Teacher Resigns Albert Bass, high school music fcacher, resigned. He is leaving teaching to go into business with his father in Boston. The board tentatively approved a successor, out nor name win not be announced until she accepts the post. High School With Board HEBRON (Special) The teachers of RHAM High School will meet the Board of Education in. an executive session Tuesday.

H. Clay Osborn, chairman of the board, has announced that the meeting was "called to explore the areas of disagreement between the teachers and school board." The subjects of discussion have not been determined. The teachers indicated recently that they were dissatisfied with their relationships with the administration and the board and with the salary plan proposed by them. A number of the teachers have taken the contracts offered them and are withholding them pending further negotiations. About 40 persons attended the PTSA meeting at RHAM High School Monday evening which had as its program an explanation to the public of the budget and curriculum for the' coming year.

This was a great contrast to thf more than 600 residents who had attended each of two Budget-meetings and had cut almost 10 per cent from the budget proposed by the Board of Education. A total of $407,686 was left' for the board to use for the year. Budget Cuts Explained Several points were brought up Monday pertaining to the revised budget to explain some of the reductions. The school's athletic program will cover the same sports and competition as this year even though coaching and transportation' items were reduced. It will be more self supporting than in the past, however.

Use of the school facilities by community groups will still.be encouraged, but the charge will be increased to cover the cost of heat and power. The item for library books was reduced almost $1,000, but the school is receiving a grant for scientific books of $1,457 to supplement the library. The personal leave for members of the staff has- been reduced from five to two days for the year; and the in service; program will take a different Middlctown Mardi Gras MIDDLETOWN -The Mardi Gras arranged by the Merchants Division of the Chamber of Commerce started slowly Tuesday but wound up with a crowd of thousands on Mai Street. During the' day, many business men complained that closing off of all parking on Main Street between College and Washington streets had apparently halted nearly all business. Others said that the heat of the day might have kept many would-be shoppers and visitors to the area at home.

At any rate, Main Street in the closed off section was jammed for a square dance and for rides on a merry-go-round and Ferris wheeL Police reported no untoward incidents but a detail of 12 men was kept on traffic duty intersections leading to Main Street. The Mardi Gras itself was an attempt by the merchants to draw visitors to the city for the day. It was one of a number of special events planned during the, year. Goods Displayed Merchants displayed goods on the sidewalks and on the street, with new car and models lining along much of the street, curbing. The Park Department set up some 30 benches aloirg the street and also furnished a display of several small caged animals which will be the start of a new city zoo at Veterans Memorial Park.

The Fire Department lined up Civil Defense- equipment, near Court Street, including ''the duck" and the anteen, into which visitors were invited for inspection of the two pieces of equipment. The Ferris wheel and merry-go-round were set up early in the morning by workmen of Coleman Bros, Carnival, both being; located in front of the Chamber of Commerce offices in the Cen-i tral Bank Building. Morning and late afternoon traffic caused some' confusion, but a large detail of police handled the situation so there were no traffic lieups. Traffic was barred from that part of Main Street between Washington and College streets, although crossover traffic was permitted at Court Street. All available metered parking spaces were free for the day.

Short Parade The program was by a committee of the Merchants Division of the Chamber headed by James German. This group, has; being promoting special events for each month but Tuesday's affair was the most ambitious to date. Late in the day, there was a short parade featuring--Mr. r.nd Mrs. Mi jjown, who were Mr.

The House passed the bill this week that requests the state department and board of education to reconsider tho original re quest of the district tor a grant $724,000. The Senate will act it next.

The need for offering more advanced mathematics and science nmircot: in hinh school was also questioned. Seybolt explained that) today's youngsters can nanais these eoursees and the students will need them to meet the competition from other schools of fering them. He pointed oui mai some colleges -are already revis-ino thpr math Droeram to re quire the additional study in high schools. Sevbolt said that the 1 hopes to incorporate a three track system so mat every pupil can develop to his fullest re-nnrHlocc nf his native ability.
