MARCH 16, 1977 Corsicana Daily Sun WANT ADS WORK WONDERS CALL 872-3033 Kid wants to flunk to star in magnet school DALLAS (AP) A Dallas public school desegregation plan apparently is so successful that at least one bright student has threatened to flunk the eighth grade in order to continue her present course of study at a specialized junior high.

Would you like to name a newly born infant and win a prize to boot? If so, conjure up a name for an infant organization that could be called an auxiliary but disdains such an ordinary name.

The purpose of the organization is to support the projects of the Warehouse Living Arts Center, including special features, art exhibits, educational presentations, and productions of the Corsicana Community playhouse. The organization will function through such committees as those on visual arts, education, reception, public relations, fund raising, housekeeping, house management, fortnight activities, and communications. The committees will be interwoven.

While Cathy and Doug were worrying about where to go next year, school officials were appointing a task force to study reports of resentment and lack of cooperation by some principals and faculties whose top teachers and students are being recruited for the magnet schools.

The reports claimed that principals in regular schools are not encouraging their top students to attend the magnet schools. 15 winners named in youth art show Fifteen winners were picked out of the 200 entries in the juried exhibit of the second annual Bicentennial Arts and Crafts Association Youth Art Exposition held at Navarro Mall Saturday.
