Be/fain 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&apos; 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' "Should M mueh,dauls put on extra curricular non-sports 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, ing. The doors of the North Mason 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. by V Nuel Curtis Post 5372 Auxiliary is being held today at the Oraker Building at Seven- th and Pacific in Bremerton.
