/ 2,1965 SHELTON--MASON COUNTY JOURNAL-- Published in "Christmastown, U.g.A.', Shelton, Washington Page 13 [. i¸' ii CRISS coltmul OUtcome of the of the Mason School District Which time thcv of partici- war- formula fronl towa rd a high school 'at North Mason• meeting, the Grapeview ~e pros m,d mostly of ac- Play, we feel Store 'Till 9 p.m. Friday moved to comment upon some of the statemcnts made by the writer and present a few "prom". It is true that Grapeview participatcd 100 per cent in 1961 with Shclton in their building program, but at that time North Masou had no high school and since all of the Grape- view st:udents in that age group attended Shclton, they really had no other fair choice. In the past three years, enough of the Grape- view students have attended North Mason to give us the right and obligation to ask for a percentage of participation funds from this district. This is what the County Board determined, fairly, and ac- cording to the formula set ns by the State Department of Educa- tion. And who is to say with anv authority how many Grapeview students will be attending North Mason over the next five to ten , years. Now, it is rather academic at point to argue the merits of i North Mason having a high school. We ha.ve an accredited high school and as far as we are concerned, it is here to stay. HOWEVER, THIS leads to an- other point mentioned by someone at the June 30 meeting. The state- ment was made that we have an accredited high school, so why do we need to build a high school. While the high school curriculum was accredited, the classroom buikling presently housing the high school students was not nec- essarily aceredited, although at the time it was deemed adequate to house the high school pro- gram offered. In other words, we JUST ARRIVED \ LAY-A.WAY YOUR GOAT NOW WHILE SELECTION IS COMPLETEr F Friday Night Bonus From 6-9 p.nL Only $88.00 Fur-Trimmed $70.00 $110.00 Fur-Trimmed $90.00 ......... =oo.,,1o.oo ............ ,=00 ,0 .00 FRIOAY HIGHTS UNTIL 9 P.M. ~tJh~idiary ,of P,N. Hirsch & Co, 3rd & Railroad ~hop Miller's of Shclton First" are not proposing to build a high school ,~e are proposing to build a high school classroom buihling. It is true that constt~ction of this building will give us more eie- mentaLv sl)ace at the same time, and this was freely admitted at the mccting. The fact renlains, however, that all of the classroom build- ings presently in use in the dis- trier are essentially elementary construction and since we do need more Classroom space, it seems to make more sense to build a classroom building specifically de- signed for a high school curri- culnnl rather than more elenlirll- tary classrooms. However, the main poiut in our argument that we do need a high school class- room facility seems to be more than justified by the fact that the State Education Deportment has deemed it enough of a necessity to be wdling to allocate state match- ing funds for this construction. The fact that vee need to ask for state matching funds and par- ticipation funds in this project does not mean that we should n~t l~ave a high school. "We are eligible for about 20 per cent in matching funds, whereas other high school districts in the state, three aod foul" times the size of North Ma- son, are getting up to 90 per cent in matching funds. Aside from the fact that we do not need any more elementary construction in this district, we admit that the aid in construction funds for a high school building was also a factor in our decision to build this type of building. The voters in the North Mason District passed a bond issue of $197,000 toward this construction, partly because they recognized the need for this type of building, and partly because by so doing, we would become eligi- ble for state matching funds al~d participation funds. Now, let's set the record straight about the state- ment that Ray Kronquist is a North Mason school director. This is not so. Ray is not a director and never has been, although at one time he was a director of the Grapeview school board. Finally, we would like to say that al- though we can't go along with some of their arguments against participatiou, there is one point that no one mentioned out loud-- the one about having to dig down and pay out tax money--that even this writer wouldn't want to ar., gxm. There just isn't any answer to that one, as we in North Ma- son know only too well. At a footnote to the above, the Washington State School Board of Education on last Thursday ap- proved the plan submitted by the Masou Cmtnty Comm. on School District Organization, so elections will be set up to be held within 60 days. AT THE JULY mccting of the for approwtl. Since the intent of the Legislature is to have the smaller counties combined into a larger intermediate unit however, some comhination or other seems inevitable. In other business tile Board vot- ed to participate agaiu this next year in the Washington State In- Service Education Fund and to re- new the contract with the School :Information and Research Service. Bids for 1)read and dairy produqts will be opened at the August meeting. Supt. Norman Sanders gave an explanation of the State Auditor's Blanket voucher ap- proval and an explauation of the Federal Secondary and Elementary Education Act passed re~:ently by Congress. Stan Freclin was hired as night sweeper at the Elementary siLc for next year, replacing Charles Hoem who is resigning. Upon tile recommendation of Supt. Sanders, the Board also voted to hire Ron Angxm to replace Dick Strain as football coach and chemistry, so- cial studies and physical educa- tion teacher at the Junior-Senior High School. Three tcacber posi- tions remain to be filled - a high school language arts and two ele- mentaly grades. Angus comes lo North Mason from Brewster where he has served as head football and assistant basketball coach for 'he past two years. He attended Olymt)ic J.C. and the Univer,dty of Puget Sound. He taught ele- mentary classes at Highline for a year al~d then spent two years in the Army, after which he spent two years at a Clover Park ele- mentary school until moving to Brewster in 1963.
