As last Friday was my birthday, a few of the members surprised me with a large birthday cake and real nice cards. I must admit the cake was decorated very uniquely, and was a real sight to see. I appreciated their thoughtfulness very much. We will be holding our first Saturday night dance this week and the Clean Machines will be playing. This is the first time for this group and we are sure you will enjoy them. They were the first place winners at the Indiana State Fair last year.

Board Cuts(Continued From Page 1) ed to recommend that the board of school trustees file an appeal with the state board of tax commissioners requesting re-instate-ment of the 10 cent reduction in the 1969 school budget”. Member Floyd Baker stated he “strongly favored" the board making a request to the state board to have the 10 cents re-instated, commenting “If we don’t we’re going to hurt the children and the program . Questions were then answered from the floor. Superintendent Arnold stated the corporation now has a ratio of 24 students to one teacher in the three elementary schools. This is what they’ve been working on for several years, but, if it’s the desire of the people of this community to have larger classes it’s the way to go. It is felt studwits in classes with a lower pupiL teacher ratio receive more individual attention because the teacher has more time to spend with each youngster. Leonard Greer of Star Motor Sales, Syracuse, stated he felt it was good to have smaller classes and commented that if you go to the grocery store to buy steak you expect to pay more than you do if you buy hamburger. Re continued that he didn’t think anything should be done until the problem is studied. Other figures and comments were given by members of the board and visitors present. State aid was discussed with one person commenting “we still have to

pay taxes to get that aid". At the close of the discussion board members agreed to study the matter before reaching a decision as to whether or not to appeal for re-instating the 10 cents. Wade’s Report Business manager Marion (Bud) Lantz reported for clerk-of-the-works Bart Wade on progress at the school. The main problem is the kitchen where installation of equipment is slow—some equipment has not yet arrived. Food is being prepared at the Syracuse school and transported to the high school. The football field’s lights are not yet installed and Saturday’s game will be played at 2 p.m. instead of at 7:30. It is hoped the lights will be in by the second game. When questioned on the heating plant, Mr. Lantz stated it would be in “good shape” by the end of this week. When asked about starting school before the building was completed it was stated officials thought it better to move the high school students into the new school than to start them in the three former high school buildings then upset the entire corporation when the move was made. Questioned on maintenance and service for school owned buses, business manager Lantz stated some of the work would be done by corporation employees. Emergency work should be done in area garages and summer repairs would be done by the corporation employees. Discussions were held on flat rate pay for work done outside of the school garage and taking bids. Since the program has just been initiated board members thought that it should be tried for awhile before any decisions are made. Certificates Approved Approval of certificates of payment were given as follows: School Development Corporation —Maurer, Van Ryn, Ogden and Natali, Inc., $1,365.27; W. A. Sheets and Sons, Inc., (Phase H), $37,619; and Schmidt Electric Shop, Inc. (Phase II), $9,720. Lakeland Community School Corporation—Maurer, Van Ryn, Ogden and Natali, Inc., $406.11; W. A. Sheets and Sons, Inc., $55,900.58; Peninsular Slate Company, $3,640; Electronic Aids, Inc, $16,322.76; Schoolcraft, Inc., $29,592; and Schmidt Electric Shop, Inc., $5,850. Mr. Arnold also reported on the Grace Bible Church school in Syracuse, stating the state had informed him they could do nothing about the parochial schools except See they met fire safety standards and met the approval of the health department. The school corporation also has the right to check attendance as often as it wishes. Mr. Lantz stated Fred Graber of the architect firm had talked to him about changing the water treatment for the cooling system at the high school. If the $265 credit were taken for the change it would be a net add of $1,209. The architect also suggested one shot water treatment feeders for the boilers at S3O each. The business manager recommended to the board that the one shot feeders be purchased, but they continue with the original treatment for the cooling system. This was approved. Mr. Lantz also showed board members a rough sketch of a 12 x 16 block building the North Webster Jaycees proposed for the Little League diamond. Since the diamond is on school property the Jaycees were requesting building permission before proceeding. The building, which was approved, will have toilet facilities, a concession stand and equipment room.
