School Concepts To Be Discussed At Meeting On C itizens Group
Schools are now being kept open
through the aid of a 13.6 mill
sl:ecial levy the voters approv-
ed last year and was on the tax
statements sent out last month.
But if Gov. Daniel Evans' or
the Senate's school financing
bills pass, Sanders said they fall
so far short of the needs of the
schools the North Mason district
will have to ask an 18 or 19 mill
levy sometime this year.
A bill is pending which would
return federal impact funds to
local school districts, however,
and that would help the North
Mason district, Sanders said.
If the bill passes returning
"874 funds" to the federally im-
pacted school districts, as well
as Gov. Evans' bill, Sanders
said, the voters would still l
asked to pass a special levy of
15 to 16 mills sometime this year.
It will probably be decided
at the April 7 school board meet-
ing whether or not a special levy
will be called, Sanders said.
PTA TEEN PANEL DISCUSSION
The following persons partici-
pated in the PTA panel discus-
sion on "Youth Codes of Con-
duct" last week: Bill Landram,
Ron Sharer, Bruce Backer, Steve
Rose, John Rose, Mike Shirk,
Debbic Anderson, Dabble Mil-
ner, Sandi Johnson, Jim Allison,
Dave Fisher, Dr. William B.
Richardson, Pediatrician, and
Ralph ttawkins, school counse-
lor. Mrs. Phyl Meyer was mod-
erator.
The adults in the community
listened and learned as they
heard teen agers discuss perti-
nent topics of our time. They
learned most young people feel
it is more important that a per-
son be neat and clean, rather
than whether or not a person
has long hair and dresses in
extreme styles.
On the topic "Is going steady
wise?", most felt it to be a
matter of convenience, someone
to talk to when they needed a
listener, and a sure way of hav-
ing dates when events came up.
However most students felt one
must reach a certain age of ma-
turity before one "goes steady".
Dr. Richardson said he felt
young people should not go stea-
dy. Its would rather see them
play the field and not get too
dependant on one person. His
reason was that, in his office he
sees on the average of one teen-
age pregnancy a week. This is
a responsibility most young peo-
ple are not ready to cope with
and he feels if young people did
not go together for more than
six months, there would be less
problems like this.
Another topic discussed was'

By EMILY MEYER
tlP BEI-"AIR -- A seminar on
open school concepts and team
teaching will be held at 8 p.m.
March 27 in the high school lib-
rary, sponsored by the Citizens
Committee for Education.
Start Nelson, vice president of
Northwest Interiors Inc., Seattle,
and Dan Schwardt, west coast
representative for Vireo Manu-
facturing Co., will present the
program.
Nelson has worked with
teachers, architects, and school
administrators for the past three
years in the states of California,
Idaho, and Alaska, desiming
school equipment, furniture and
compact deriders for open school
concepts, and ungraded school
concepts. These concepts allow
for team teaching, semi-team
teaching, corp teaching indivi-
dualized instructing, and contin-
uous progress learning concept.
Schwardt represents a manu-
facturer of equipment for schools,
such as portable walls, portable
bookcases, etc. The open school
and ungraded school concept will
be shown with the help of visual
aids also.
These two men will not be here
to sell just to niorm the public
how this type of schooling is
handled.
Robert Groeschell, assistant
Superintendent in charge of ele-
mentary education for the State
of Washington will also be pre-
sent as a resource person.
Four teachers from the first
and second grades this past
Wednesday visited the Dafftxlil
Valley Elementary School in
Sumner, and the Benson Hill
Elementary in Renton. They were
able to observe the new school
concepts in action and will also
be at the meeting to share their
views.

NOK MASON S(OOL8
A special maintenance and
operation levy in the North Ma-
son School District is highly pro-
bable this year, Supt. Norman
Sanders predicted at the last
School Board Meeting, if the Leg-
islature continues on its present
course relating to school flnanc,

OPPORTUNITY for LEARNING
activities as the sports activi- that one was mature enough to
ties?". The extra curricular act- cope with the responsibility of
lvity mentioned most was the owning a car. Hc felt that one
Debate Team". Most students shouM spend a while really
felt this activity, as well as drill\\; learning to drive first and also
team, majorettes, drama, and
even the tennis team should have
more support. One student re-
minded them that Basketball and
Football brings in more money
from spectators and therefore it
is reasonable that more money
be spent for equipment for these
sports.
The last topic discussed was
"At what age should students be
allowec to own or operate cars?
Are cars responsible for falling
grades ? School dropouts?"
One young man said he felt
owning a car was a, detriment
to having good grades, because
usually a boy can only afford
a car which is always needing
work and then he would always
be spending time with the car
instead of his homework. He also
added he didn't own a car and
still had a problem with grades,
so maybe this wouldn't always
be the case. Another student said
he owned all or pints of eight
cars which he was always put-
ting together to get one run-
ning car and this year his grades
were better than ever.
One student felt that just be-
cause the law made it possible
to get a license to operate a
car at 16, didn't necessarily mean
that you would need a job to sup-
port a car and it would be real
hard to work, to get good
grades, and still maintain a
clunky car of the tyl:' most stu-
dents can afford.
Several other students felt if
you were able to work enough
to pay for insurance and gas
and oil tha most parents were
willing to let them use the car.
The students did not feel that
cars caused school dropouts.
They felt if a student was going
to drop out he would do so whet-
her or not he owned a car.
