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."

State Park head ranger, reported
that they had the largest crowd
ever recorded for a Memorial Day
weekend. Six hundred
thirty-three camps were occupied
with 3,010 people. On Sunday
the beach area had 5,321
vacationers. 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. Should all
smokers be required to wear a
shoulder or belt type ashtray7

Memorial Day weekend (the
first) turned out to be a real
holiday with cooperative weather.
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. Above some of the students and teachers involved in the
project try to spot one of the rockets which has just been shot into "space."
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.

advance and open to the public.
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.
It's best wishes all around
when friends can carry out
delayed honeymoon plans and
have the good company of a
favorite mother-in-law joining the
fun. Now that the duties of
raising a family are done, Mrs. Ida
lson will join Mr. and Mrs. Don
Beeber Sr. for a trip to Hawaii.
The Fortners of Bear Creek will
house-sit and take care of the
Beeber pets during the vacation.
