BASEBALL NEWS Last year it cost approximately $2,600 to finance the 13 organized teams in the Speedway Baseball Association program. The boys participate in the program are to be commended for their efforts to raise this large sum of money by selling memberships in the Baseball Association. Speedway can be proud of the fact that its citizens have so generously supported this worthy program. Because of this enthusiasm and civic interest, the Speedway Baseball Association is considered one of the foremost organizations of its type in the Indianapolis area. This year for the fund raising activities, the town will be divided into twelve districts. All boys participating in the fund drive will be assigned to the team in their district. There will be prizes in each district for the bqys who collect the most money from the sale of memberships.

The teams in each district will be supervised by interested parents. In order that the work can be carried to a successful conclusion, the fund raising committee extends an invitation to Speedway adults to volunteer their services as a team-captain or assistant. The committee is especially anxious to find adults in the vicinity of Georgetown Road and 25th Street and the trailer park area on Georgetown Road, who would be willing to contribute several hours of their time to this project. If interested, you are urged to call Ralph Wegener whose phone is CH. 4-5593. With enough help this will be a small job which will take only three or four hours of your time. Let us hear from you. When the boys call at your home Saturday, March "30th, it is hoped that everyone will be cordial and express their interest in the project by purchasing a membership in the Association which costs only SI.OO. If a boy fails to call at your home, call one of the committee members who will be happy to pick up your contribution. The responsibility for raising funds for this year’s program is divided between two groups. The committee planning the house to house membership sale is composed of Jim Degan, Ray Thompson, Harry Davis and Ralph Wegener, Chairman. Contributions from business, industrial and civic organizations will be solicited by Freeman Ketron and Bob McMahon. Dick Tingle, President Jim Boswell, Publicity

At a recent School Board meeting the school tax rates of the various school corporations in Marion County were studied, and it was revealed that Speedway, in spite of increasing enrollments and school costs, has the lowest school tax rate in Marion County. The current rates for all school corporations in this county are: School Total Taxing Unit School Rate Washington Township 5.746 Perry Township (Southport) 3.575 Beech Grove 3.53 Franklin Township 3.458 Wayne Twnsp. (Ben Davis) 3.277 Decatur Township 3.156 Center Township 2.958 Lawrence Township 2.944 Warren Township 2.929 Indianapolis 2.688 Pike Township 2.661 Speedway 2.55 Speedway Schools have grown rapidly during the past few years, increasing in enrollment from 705 in 1945 to 1,729 at the beginning of the current school year. During this period we have been enlarging the school plant, staff, and curriculum to accommodate the larger enrollments. This has been done as economically as possible, but at the same time every effort has been exerted to provide the best possible education for our boys and girls. , In order to plan adequately for even greater increases in enrollment, with a total school enrollment of 2,400 by 1960 and possibly 3,200 by 1956, we are contemplating increasing our building fund rate by 25 cents. It is now SI.OO and is included in the rate listed above. Since some of the other school corporations are also planning capital outlay increases, our position should remain favorably placed. Speedway High School recently received an “unqualified recommended,” rating from the state committee of the North Central Association. Speedway has been a member of this accrediting association for several years, but each year the qualifications of member schools are reviewed. The high school and elementary (Continued on Page 10)
