| POEM O O0 O 0 0 O 0 0Q0 0 O 0 0 0 ,l~lP Editor's note: The following inspirational poem was written by George Washington Carver: Figure it out for yourself, my lad, You've all that the greatest of men have had; Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a brain to use if you would be wise, With this equipment they all began. So start from the top and say, "1 can." Look them over, the wise and the great, They take their food from a common plate, And similar knives and forks they use, With similar laces they tie their shoes, The world considers them brave and smart, But you've all they had when they made their start. You~can triumph and come to skill, YOU can be great if you only will, You're well equipped for what fight you choose; You have arms and legs and a brain to use, And the man who has risen great deeds to do Began his life with no more than yOU. YOU are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know: God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be. Courage must come from the soul within The man must furnish the will to win, So figure it out for yourself, my lad, You were born with all the great have had, With your equipment they all began, Get hold of yourself and say: "l can."

All in all, 14,566 souls occupied the park at one time or another during the three-day weekend. A litter note added by Ranger Winslow was the amazing volume of cigarette butts alone that comprise litter in the park area. In one pick-up time, three 32-gallon size garbage can bags were filled with cigarette butts and some other small litter. The indestructible filter accounts for much of the volume.

Judging by traffic on the North Shore, cities must have been deserted. Avery Winslow, Belfair Since the process of school budgeting has evolved from a dull pastime of local officials to one of impending interest for nearly everyone from school supporters to taxpayers, a new publication from a state agency should become as popular as TV Guide in the next few months. The Washington State Research Council, an independent, non-governmental, non-partisan, fact-finding agency, has compiled the "Citizens' Guide to School District Budgeting." It more or less tells you everything you've wanted to know about school budgeting but were too discouraged with the legal prose of the Revised Code of Washington to find out. Copies of this report can be purchased for $1 from the council in Olympia or they can be borrowed from any Timberland library. The report is located in each library's pamphlet collection which includes many government and private industry information pamphlets. The report begins with a few requirements of school boards when making out their budgets: all meetings must be publicized in • ;:'. :? ~?: FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS at Belfair Elementary have been building rockets during their recess and lunch hours in preparation for a big blast-off held last month.

Before shooting the rockets, they were judged for workmanship, with Steve Ferguson coming first; Julie Kadra, second; Jeff Harmon, third; and Keith Jensen, fourth. Runners-up were Jim Sellers, Mike Ison, Matt Thomas, Tom Newman and Joe Grable.

Documents of school boards come under the public disclosure laws and the public has a right to inspect them at any time. The study includes required calendar of steps in the budget preparation. The process begins with the preliminary budget, which must be submitted by May 10, to the final certified copy filed with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction by the first Monday in October. The report goes on to explain the recent changes in school district budgeting such as the new methods for the distribution of property tax. It outlines the eight major sources of school district revenue and warns that this section is usually inadequately studied by the public. A list of questions concerning revenue review is included. The report explains how school district expenditures should be listed and made available to the public, specifying how much is to be spent for all programs from vocational to basic education and food services. Perhaps the most interesting section is the last which features 13 tables of statistics• These tables break down figures for each of the top 75 first class school districts in the state. The statistics include enrollment; assessed valuation of property per pupil; local, state and federal revenue per pupil; special levies revenue per pupil; and expenditures for basic education and special programs• It also lists by district, percentages of change in enrollment and faculty. And last but not least, the study compares the average salaries for these school districts.

It was back to school for Armas and Annie Makela in attending the alumni gathering for the 50th anniversary of Centralia College. Open house was held May 24 for some 200 guests to register in sections divided according to school years at the student cafeteria. Many old friends were among the old-timers attending. At the evening athletic all-star banquet, 75 men and women from school years of 1925 and 1 975 were honored. Sports honored were nine for the men and three for the women. Annie Manberg Makela was one of the 24 women to recieve a framed certificate for her participation in basketball and to be named a member in the college golden anniversary all-star athletic team. (Hazel Gillespie was also named and will receive her certificate in the mail as she was not at the banquet.) A highlight of the reunion for the 1930 graduate was Annie being on the school TV station. Tribute was given by local newspapers of her alma mater being the oldest in the state, and a "first" in the pioneer days of founding junior colleges in this state. Centralia College began with classes held on the third floor of the high school for one-half day. PE was at the early hour of 7 a.m. in order to use the gym before high school classes• There were 38 students, with teachers doing double duty teaching upstairs and downstairs. When asked more about those student days of the thirties, Annie remembers working for room and board during the depression days. Five members were in the first class to be graduated from the college.
