st. Christopher’s Catholic Church 5335 West 16ih Srteet Rev. L. A Lindemann..— - Pastor Sunday Masses: 0:00 o’clock The Town of Speedway is holding a town meeting at the Speedway High School tomorrow night at 7:45 p.m. As this meeting takes the place of the primary election,, it is important that every resident of Speedway over 21 years of age should attend. In all elections, the primaries are the most important and shall we say the most neglected. Two persons from each zone will be nominated at this meeting, ten in all, five of whom will be elected in November to govern the Town of Speedway for the next four years ... the town in which you live. Attend the meeting and help to nominate the person of your choice. Catholic people should always take an active part in civic government, because it is a moral virtue and a matter of conscience to help carry the burden of the community in which they live. We just learned Sunday that Mary Susan Sherman, age 8, daughter of Mr. and Mis. Vanard Sherman of 2041 N. Winton Avenue, fell in the yard while at play and cut herself so badly that she was in surgery from 8 until 9 on Monday, August 15. She is at the Methodist Hospital, Room 8528, is doing fine and expects to be discharged this Saturday. Mary is in the third grade at St. Christopher School. Mrs. Philomena Meunier of Clermont, Indiana is recovering from a major surgery at the St. Vincent hospital. Her room number is 351. We talked with Mr. Meunier Monday evening and he said while she is improving, he is not certain just when he can bring her home. However, she is able to have visitors . . . from 2 to 3 in the afternoon and from 7 to 8 in the evening. And people say who have been in the hospital, cards are always most welcome. Mrs. Meunier will be remembered among other things as the lady who made the Lenten aprons in 1954 and she also made the five aprons which the Altar Society donated last January to the N.C.C.W. card party. We also learned of two other members of the Altar Society who are on our sick list. Mrs. Walter (Katy) Flintworth and her sister Agnes Shaw . . . Agnes is in a hospital in the southern part of the State at the present time. August is bringing much happiness to the Angers on Lynhurst. Mike came home August Ist from England Air Base in Alexandria, Louisiana and with his nine-day extension is not returning until August 31. While home, he celebrated his nineteenth birthday on August 16. When Airman 2d Class Charles Michael returns he will soon leave for Iceland and England. Our best wishes go with you, Mike. Joe Meyer, son of Betty and Bill Meyer, on Winton is home from St. Edwards College for a two weeks vacation. Joe arrived last Thursday in time to help his father and mother celebrate their silver wedding anniversary Saturday, the twentieth, at the Holly Hock Hill. The Meyers are further celebrating their 25th anniversary with a family party this Saturday. Nice to (Cont.nued on Page 3)

SCHOOL NEWS Current School Calendar August 31, September 1, 2—PreSchool Teachers’ Meetings. September 6—First Day of School for Pupils. September 9—Football, Danville, There. September 16—Football, Decatur Central, Here. In next week’s Flyer information concerning the procedure for enrollment day September 6 will be given. The system of book rental and paper fees used in Speedway Schools the past several years will be continued this year. Under this system all books, pencils, paper, and other necessary materials are furnished for the children in grades kindergarten through six. Books and paper are supplied in grades 7 through 12. The amount of fees per semester kindergarten, $1.00; grades 1-6, $3.50; grades 7-8, $4.00. The entire year’s fees, which are double the semester fees, may be paid at the beginning of the year. In fact, that is preferable since practically all books are purchased at the beginning of ti e year.

For the benefit of those who may have missed it in an earlier issue •of the Flyer, the plan for the assignment of elementary pupils is being printed again. Assignment of Pupils to Elementary Schools Each year several problems are encountered by school officials in trying to determine a fair assignment of elementary pupils to our elementary schools. It is important that classes be no larger than necessary for the best results. Therefore each year boundaries must be set so as to equalize as nearly as possible the enrollment in the three or four sections of each grade. An attempt is made to permit pupils to continue at the elementary school which they attended in the first grade, but occasionally it is necessary, because of unusual growth of some part of town, to change a few pupils in a particular grade. For the next school year, we plan to have a total of four classrooms each for grades one, two, three, four, and five with three classrooms for grade six. Kindergarten, as usual, will have only two classrooms, which actually makes four sections, since kindergarten pupils go only half-days. At Elementary School No. 2, 1849 North Whitcomb, where 2 rooms are available, there will be one classroom each for all grades, kindergarten through six, with the exception of the second grade which will have two classrooms. This will permit children who were in the two first grade rooms at Elementary No. 2 during 195455 to continue at that school during 1955-56. At Elementary School No. 1, 14th Street and Winton, where 17 rooms are available, there will be one kindergarten room, three classrooms each for grades one, three, four, and five, with two classrooms each for grades two and six. It is believed that the above distribution of classrooms pro-

CITY AND COUNTY “D” CHAMPS

vides the fairest possible assignment of pupils although it means in a few cases that children in one family will attend different elementary schools. In the study of the school population it was found that if a division was made at any designated street for all grades it would make an extremely large number in some classrooms with a very small enrollment in others. In the assignment of pupils listed below the boundaries for pupils who will be in grades two through six are the same as for 1954-55. Boundaries for pupils who will be in kindergarten and first grade are somewhat different from last year. Due to the great amount of current home construction in Speedway and the uncertainty at this time of the number of pupils who will enroll this fall, it may be necessary to make some changes in pupil assignment after the first day of school. Pupils will attend Elementary School No. 2 during the 1955-56 school year as follows: Kindergarten 1. All pupils living on 15th and 16th Streets west of Lyndhurst Drive. 2. All pupils living on Worth Street north of the B. & O. Railroad. 3. All pupils living in the area north of Crawfordsville Road from the west edge of Speedway east to and including Ijpth sides of Allison Avenue north to 21st Street, both sides of 21st Street east of Winton Avenue, both sides of Winton Avenue north to Allison, and both sides of Allison north to 25th Street. 4. All pupils living north of 16th Street and south of Crawfordsville Road from the west edge of Speedway east to and including Gerrard Avenue. 5. All remaining kindergarten pupils in Speedway will attend

Town Board Reports By Tri Kappa Reporter The Indianapolis Power & Light Co. has requested the Town to consider re-locating the present lights and adding more lights due to the improvement of State Highway 136. The board has requested Mr. John Hardys, Light Representative, to make a formal recommendation for further study. Mr. John Turpin has appealed to the Board for assistance in the extension of a sanitary sewer to the proposed new shopping area at High, School Road and Road 136. It was suggested by the Board that Mr. Turpin be given the opportunity of collecting costs for any service connection, which property owners along its route might connect on within a time limit agreed upon between the Town and Mr. Turpin. However, no responsibility of financing can be carried by the Town since annexation of this area has not yet taken place.

NEW GARBAGE ELIMINATOR John Scholl of John Scholl Landscaping Service, 1640 Allison St., informs us that he was very fortunate in securing the Speedway territory for the Bard-Matic Garbage Eliminator which dissolves garbage by bacteria action. Millions of bacteria work night and day, turning food scraps, peels, bones, egg shells, etc., into harmless liquids which seep away into the soil. Only a small residue is left to accumulate gradually into rich compost for the garden. Mr. Scholl will be glad to call upon residents of Speedway explaining this thoroughly with no obligation on your part. This eliminator tested by Life Magazine for six months. ladies; bowling LEAGUE NOTICE An organization meeting of the Thursday afternoon Bowling league will be held at the Speedway Bowling Alleys at 1:00 p.m. on September 1, 1955.
