Fifth grade move to middle school has caused few problems
UPPER TOWNSHIP - The
fifth grade has quietly settled
into the middle school here
following a controversy this
summer over the need and
value of moving the grade
grade from the elementary
school.
When the move was announced
this summer several
parents expressed concern that
the move to the open classroom
school with its older students
would be detrimental to the
younger students.
However, a discussion with
teachers and students this week
showed little disenchantment
with the change. And both

the middle school, and William

schools, sata they have
received no complaints from
students or parents since the
beginning of the school year one
month ago.
Board members Charles
(Ed) Town Jr. and Richard E.
Mower admitted a few families
pulled their children out of the
school system and placed them
at a parochial school because
they were unhappy with the
move.
On Wednesday four fifiii
graders were picked at random
for an informal discussion to
gather their feelings on the
move. Beth Iisi, Jean Lisitski,
Joe Wright and Ralston Poole
were chosen among students all
ready to volunteer for a task
' whose purpose was unknown to
them.
Amid giggles and shyness,
they admitted their fears when
first entering the school. But all
agreed that after the initial
shock wore off they prefer a
school with more opportunities
for shop, home economics and
gym.
Their exposure to the sixth
through eight graders is limited
since three classrooms were
enclosed to accommodate the
fifth graders. This eliminates
the major fear of several
parents that their children
would be exposed to open
classrooms and older students
and thus suffer.
One fifth grade teacher who

the beginning is still opposed to
the move. Basically she feels
the children are given "a
little bit too much freedom" for
their age. Yet noting how well
the children are doing, she said,
"I'm surprised at how they're
adapting."
Carpenter feds the freedom
is "not hindering students,"
preferlng children to be given
more responsibility. "What is
wrong with giving students'
responsibility? We're teaching
them to accept it" and subsequently
help prepare them to
move on, Carpenter explained.
The school's librarian said
the move is working out
"remarkably well, considering
the situation." The board
Mortgage appraisal bill is signed by Gov. Byrne
Governor Brendan T. Byrne
has approved a bill sponsored
by Senator James S. Cafiero
(R-Cape May-Cumberland)
eliminating the requirement of
an independent appraisal in the
processing of certain savings
and loan mortgage applications.
The governor officially
signed Cafiero's measure into
law at the State House in
Trenton on Monday. The bill,
now known as Chapter 119 of
the Laws of 1978, will take effect
immediately.
The senator noted that
previously a savings loan
-association could not make a
mortgage loan without an
appraisal by an officer of the
association and an independent
appraiser, where the loan is
more than $25,000 and is
secured by a property which
includes more than four-family
dwellings units. His bill makes
the following changes: Where a
loan is $75,000 or less, the appraisal
could be conducted by a
qualified . officer of the
association or by an independent
qualified appraiser;
for mortages over $75,000, on a
building in excess of six-family
dwelling units, the appraisal
could be made by two qualified
officers of the association or
one independent qualified
appraiser.
As stated above, present law
requires an appraisal by both
an officer of the association and
an independent appraiser for
mortgage over $25,000.
Cafiero pointed out that this
is a consumer bill which has the
support of the New Jersey
Savings League as well as the
Cape May County Savings and
Loan Association.
Philip J. Cocuzza, executive
vice president of the New
Jersey Builders' Association, in
advising Cafiero of the support
of his association earlier this
year, stated: "What we have
here substantially is a simple
request to help reduce closing
costs for potential home
buyers. Given the inflation

that the average home in New
Jersey today is approximately

"made the decision. It's up to
us to make the best of it," she
added, noting the fifth grade
classrooms which are adjacent
to the library are in one of the
quietest places in the school.
Arlene McDanlels, a fifth
grade student's parent, said her
child has "the best of both
worlds" with the move because
of the controlled exposure to
new surroundings. She admitted
she was "leery" to begin
with but her child adjusted
quickly.
The board decided to move
the fifth grade from the
elementary school despite
protest from parents and
negative publicity. The board
pointed out the elementary .
school was close to capacity
and the middle school was
under capacity by a larger
margin.
Now the board has been informed
there is a strong
possibility a fourth fifth grade
must be formed because of the
increased enrollment since
school opened.
Mower has instructed
Maynard to advertise for a
teacher in the event the new
class will be formed. Presently
there are 81 fifth graders in the
school system. A new class will
mean the loss of the remedial
room.

release from FNMA. Their
input will form the basis of a
symposium on housing for the
retired to be held in January.
Based on these early
responses, FNHA Chairman of
the Board and President
Oakley Hunter said two major,
though not unexpected, emphases
have emerged: the desire
for independent living
situations and apprehension
that rising rents and property
taxes will undermine that in-
dependence.
"Agentleman from BeUevue,
Washington summed up these
sentiments very well," Hunter
said. "Citing the recent
doubling in his property taxes,
he wrote: 'Sure my property is
worth more but I cant eat the
damned house — I would Just
Uke to live in it.'"
Hunter urged that other
retirees write the corporation
letters outlining their views on
such issues as housing design,
finance, location and related
services. The letters, he explained,
will serve both as the
major source of ideas and
topics to be explored at the
upcoming conference and as a
means of selecting symposium
participants.
More than 100 of those who
write the corporation, chosen to
provide a broad geographic,
age-group and economic crosssection
of moderate - and
middle-income retirees will be
invited to take part in the
