By CARMEN YATES
Friday, beginning in the very
wee hours of the morning, the
long-anticipated day will arrive
for Pioneer's sixth grade. For this
is the culmination of all the
bottles and cans and bake sales
and fund-raising projects that
have made these next two days
possible. At 4 a.m. sharp a
busload of happy but sleepy
parents and students will be on its
way to an overnight trip to
Victoria, B.C.
Don't forget that this
weekend is also a three-day
holiday, with Monday being
slated at the Memorial Day
weekend for Pioneer School.
The regular meeting of the
school board was held on
Wednesday night of this week.

hymenoptera is presently
rearranging the world in the fifth
grade room. Perhaps the new
visitors are more easily recognized
as "red-headed ants.'" Two young
men, Willard Nelson and Mike
LaMent, are to be awarded a
whole hat full of brownie points
for the project. The visitors
showed their thanks for their new
