Plans For The New High School Are Accepted

The Wa-Nee School accepted the general plans for the new high school Monday. There had been two points which needed more discussion. One was. the matter of anew type of heating and ventilation system which would be installed on the roof. The architect claimed that, since more

smaller units are involved, it’s cheaper to operate than the central boiler system. He said another advantage is potential flexibility Os the system. Members of the Board had traveled to Barrington, Illinois, to see a similar system. Bale Ohristner still questioned the ease of maintenance. It was explained that there would be a hatch in the ceiling with a ladder going to the roof for easier access. Ohristner voted no on the adoption of this system, but it was adopted anyway. The other problem was the architectural addition of overhang roof portions around the building. The main reason for this was for appearance. The architect explained that it was an attempt to tie in the building into the site architecturally. There were many types of Shingles for this roof including asphalt, asbestos, aluminum, clay tiles, cedar Shakes. Since there are almost no windows in the new building, the attempt was to add a distinctive touch to the whole building by use of this overhang. (The Board decided to go along (with it, although the material of

With pride in our heritage, and with heartfelt gratitude, we honor our nation's heroes On the solemn occasion of Memorial Day, we remember the departed... and we honor those to whom honor meant all.. . with sorrow and pride, with respect and gratitude. To the valiant, who selflessly gave all, that our great nation might endure in strength and freedom, we pay heartfelt tribute. Their spirit lives on ... in the resolve of each of us to treasure and preserve the liberty for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. May the memory of their deeds ever inspire us. ★ ★ ★

the shingles wasn’t definitely settled. So, with a few minor details to be worked out in the gym, library and offices, the plans of the high school are now virtually okayed. The Board accepted with regret the resignation of the coordinator of special services, Frank Allgate, who has accepted a similar position in the Goshen schools. Lyle Yoder’s attempt to increase the cumulative building fund levy got no place. Wa J Nee has the lowest cumulative levy in the County (most have a dollar —WaNee has 25 eentsX and Yoder said he’d like to accumulate more funds to provide future building or improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis. Superintendent Osborn, who believes that the new central high school will solve building needs for a long time, said that we would have enough money accumulated too provide for our needs in the foreseeable future. He said that there will be between $225,000 and $250,000 in that fund by the end of next

year. The Board, remembering ithe rough time it had even getting a 25 cent levy, was glad to go on too other business. The Board received a building permit from the City of Nappanee to go ahead and construct the sewer and water lines to the school site, so they signed contracts with Cowles Construction for this job. ‘With a record for the short time involved in studying the matter and with information still lacking for thorough study, the Wa-Nee School Board accepted a new schedule for teacher salaries. The whole method is bo look over about 22 other schools and maintain Wa-Nee’s relative position of seventh in the list in the schedules. Average increases for teachers will amount to about $578 a year. Both the teachers and the Board expressed satisfaction at (the cordiality and ease of these negotiations. Ohas. Cole Architects were also (hired to prepare specifications for the repair of the roof at Central School. It has been recommended that the whole roof on the old building be tom down to the deck. New contracts were approved for Vicki Fuller to teach in Wakarusa, Bon Bußois for 71th and Bth grade science and coaching at Wakarusa, Br. Eladio Martely for Spanish at Wakarusa, Edward Grill for 71th grade English and coaching in Nappanee, Roma Anglemyer, Wakarusa elementary, Jane Hepder for special education

LET'S DEMONSTRATE! There are demonstrations and riots going on all over. So let's have a protest rally in Nappanee on Tuesday. Let's protest against these people who would burn our flag or who would openly defy our laws with their riots and draft card burnings. Let's spend a few minutes showing people that we are not ashamed of our love of our flag and the great country it symbolizes. As our flags pass by, carried by our own children or by our own veterans, let's all swell with the pride of participation in the chance to demonstrate our patriotism. Russians thrill to their own nationalistic fervor on May Day. Memorial Day gives us the chance to honor those who died to make men free. We should not miss that chance. Nappanee's young men are now serving jn Vietnam, a place we know little about. More will follow. It matters not whether we are in complete support of actions there or whether we believe in military service. Our Country allows us the right to dissent, but it gives us no right to be disloyal. It matters now that ail of us in Nappanee unite in one demonstration of loyalty to and love of our country. We would hope that our streets will be lined with marchers or spectators during the parade here on Memorial Day. Those who are in town, but who abserit themselves will demonstrate either apathy or hostility to the very symbol of Memorial Day.
